Lech Walesa sort of endorses Mitt Romney

Lech Walesa gave Mitt Romney a near-endorsement Monday.

Depends how you interpret his glowing remarks to the Republican presidential candidate.

"I wish you to be successful because this success is needed to the United States,
of course, but to Europe and the rest of the world, too. Governor Romney, get
your success, be successful!” Poland's former president said, according to a translation provided to a media pool.

The two men met in Gdansk, where Walesa led the movement that eventually helped end Soviet domination of Poland. Walesa has been cool to President Barack Obama, turning down an invitation to meet with him last year.
