Hungarian Ambassador to America says Obama meeting not imminent

It may take weeks or months for the Obama administration to make a decision concerning a possible meeting between the US President and Hungarian Prime Minister Gordon Bajnai in Washington, as suggested by the Hungarian side, Ferenc Somogyi, Hungary’s ambassador to the US, told MTI on Thursday.

On Wednesday, the American Hungarian Federation appealed in a letter to Barack Obama not to receive Bajnai before Hungary’s next election, lest it should be interpreted as US support for the current “interim” government and the minority ruling Socialists.

“The incumbent Hungarian government was formed in accordance with constitutional norms; there is nothing that would exclude ties between the two countries at appropriate levels,” Somogyi said.

The ambassador said that no reservations had been voiced by the US side when Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Balazs conveyed a letter from Bajnai which raised the possibility of a meeting with the US President.

Somogyi added that the mid-June meeting between Balazs and his US counterpart Hillary Clinton had been a sign of Washington’s acceptance of the Hungarian government. “I don’t assume the US has reservations; they could have refused to receive the Hungarian foreign minister after all,” he said.

    What a pathetic, typical jewish, communist behaviour!
    Is there really no diplomacy representing our nation? Hillary Clinton for God’s sake!
    She’s knee deep in New York jewish murky money deals to this day.
    I cannot believe no statesman-like figure emerged in the last 20 years. Statesmen send a signal to this bitch and her department to get a fuck outta here or there wherever she travels. Unfriggin’believable. I wouldn’t give her a landing permit let alone a visa.

    The meeting would be completely insignificant and useless. Bajnai was not elected by any votes, nobody voted for him, he was placed in as a “replacement” or “placeholder”. He is like an empty picture frame on a wall, and you tell your visitors that “one day, there will be a picture there.”
    Nevermind the fact that he got about less than zero percent of chance ever be in the position he is in, as well as his party, so Obama would be better of just talking to an empty chair, that would make more sense.

    At least somebody at the State Department is awake at the weels. But somebody in the meantime is working tirelessly behind the scenes to groom the incoming administration as to the inevitable requirements should they venture behaving out of line. And that’s the real trouble. Bajnai is a clown, throwaway cleenex. He knows it and has no self esteem conducive to communist jews for power and hoarding.
    He forgets one thing. What goes around, comes around, and he’ll be sharing a cell with a bigass gypsie screwing him on a daily basis.
