Polish lawmaker disowned after slamming Barack Obama | Herald Sun

  • During a parliamentary session last Thursday, the day after Senator Obama's election victory, Mr Gorski had called him a "black crypto-communist", and a "naive individual whose election must delight al-Qaeda".


    Senator Obama "is a disaster, it is the end of the white man's civilisation", he said.


    Mr Gorski, 38, is a member of the conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which was founded by the president and his twin brother Jaroslaw Kaczynski, a former prime minister who is still at the helm of the movement.

  • Mr Gorski has been in the spotlight before.


    In 2006 he was among a group of lawmakers who filed a resolution in parliament calling for Jesus Christ to be proclaimed king of this overwhelmingly Catholic republic.


    The bill was not passed and the move was ridiculed by Poland's senior Catholic bishops, who said members of parliament should stick to politics.
