   You might have a medal hanging around your neck
   You might write some lyrics, you might write yourself a check
   You may buy a six-pack, you may buy champagne in cases
   You and the President may be on a first-name basis….

   And of course Obammy gets a Bozo button for what could be the most watched – and notorious – Polish joke in history.

   “What do you call a Nazi death camp in Poland?”

   “A Polish death camp.”

   Except no one was laughing.

   JOB

   (Sorry to pee on Dylan’s parade, here, but it says something about the state of the world when we have more intelligent things to say about a pop star than we do about the things that matter most in history…)

     “Polish death camps” taken in context clearly means “death camps located in Poland” so I don’t see what the issue is. It’s a matter of basic comprehension of the English language vs. going out of one’s way to be offended.

       Agreed, if we were talking about a specifically American context. But I guarentee, no one in Europe would be making that mistake (and yet the Most Bitchingly Bitchin’ President Ever has no problem bowing (talk about context!) to Asian and Muslim dignitaries…)

       Unfortunately, the dogs in this hunt go back much further than even WWII…

       That said, I return to my amusement that the Most Awesomely Awesome President Ever would stumble so easily on such a first round Jeopardy answer/question.
