Man Obama never met: President failed to reclaim US's moral leadership

Former president Lech Walesa, also known as a "Man of Hope", has declared that President Barack Obama has failed to reclaim the country's 'moral leadership' of the world.

Walesa is not just a man Obama never met. He is the first and probably the only politician who refused to meet Obama. (To be fair, Obama is not a man above a petty payback.)

Here is what Walesa said:
“When he was elected there was great hope in the world, ... We were hoping that Obama would reclaim moral leadership for America, but that failed, ... Up until the end of the last century, the United States was the last resort for all the world's problems, ... It was the last hope for any world problem or conflict. America always helped. And now, we have lost America as this last resort. ... We have to do everything we can to recreate, to reclaim America's role. To give America that leadership role again. ... We’re just lucky that there are no bigger conflicts in the world, because if it had bigger conflicts then the world would be helpless. In the long run, it is a dangerous situation. So we are awaiting a President who will understand that.”

I don't want to think what will happen when someone tells our president about it.
