In Cuba, “Obama looked prouder posing under a portrait of Che Guevara than when ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ plays”

Rebel Staff

Today Barack Obama landed in Cuba, the Communist regime that the human rights group Reporters Without Borders calls the worst regime in the western hemisphere when it comes to human rights.

This is an enormous coup for the Castros, who have run Cuba as their personal prison island for more than half a century.

(Hours before Air Force One landed, Cuba’s secret police arrested democracy activists, while others were ordered not to meet with Obama.)

I supposed there are arguably some reasons to engage with Cuba:

More American tourists means more people speaking about freedom; more investment means more free enterprise. Most of it would be skimmed by the Castros, of course.

But America isn't getting, or even asking for, anything in return.

Other than Iran and Cuba you name me a single country that is closer to the United States, more supportive of it now, than when Obama took over from George W. Bush?

The only thing missing from this picture is Notely, the Che Guevara groupie!

Barry standing under the Che mural . . . thinking fondly of his teenage Mentor . . . Frank Marshal Davis, head of the US Communist Party in the 50s. Wish you were here Frank . . . .

All the cryptic global language is now becoming evident! I’d like to slap that smug look off of his face. Obama – the anti-Christ!

In his speech in Belin in 2008 Barak Hussein Obama self identified as a “Citizen of the World”. He meant it.

The US opening of relations with Cuba means the tourism benefit Canada has enjoyed these past decades will fade away.

Obama was a UN plant, as is Junior.

Well, Obama just became a president, the people who elected him were looking forward for a change. Hope they’ve got enough of it. From the very beginning it looked like Obama worked for somebody else (not Americans for sure), and it only looks more like this day after day.

Obama thinks this will be his legacy, as if everyone will forget the 18 trillion in debt.

There is a Ship out bound from Russia, loaded with missiles. It is heading for Cuba, no wonder Whacobama looks happy.

More Cubans? LOL!

commented 2016-03-21 21:22:54 -0400

He wants to flood America with Cubans now!

Here’s to hoping the Cubans poison Barry’s food.

This arrogant sod is desperately looking for SOMETHING for his legacy. The fuss he made of TruDOPE, another lame brain like himself, is proof of how out of touch he is.

Good thing there’s a negotiator coming in soon; Trump.
Shit will get done.

Ezra’s right; Obummer has done nothing more than give away all the leverage.
Real negotiators use leverage to gain ground; and create win/wins.

Is anyone really that surprized?

Watch, when he gets back, he’ll proudly announce rednecks can have their Havana cigars at domestic prices again – but the cost will be having the Castro brothers run homeland security.

Obama scrambling to shore up his legacy.

Proud as punch, just like Trudeau when he is kneeling on his prayer rug with his butt in the air facing the gay pride parade.
