Obama shakes hands with Cuba's Castro in 'gesture of hope'

If Obama had simply given Castro a middle finger instead of shaking hands with him and bowing, it would have gone a long way to restoring his credibility and approval rating. Shaking hands and bowing to this douchebag communist is only slightly not as bad as if a US President would have kissed Hitler's ass.

Of course, everyone wants to see the POTUS acting like a junior high kid pissed with a classmate, sure.

Overall, of course not. In the case of being face to face with one of the scummiest people on earth, he would have looked like a hero.

I know you are joking, but it would be nice to have a president who wasn't a chump just once.

Yeah, if we elected a real he man, he'd do things like blowing up terrorists with drone attacks, and not being overly concerned by PC considerations like collateral damage.
 
I'm trying to figure out why someone like Castro, one of the most evil people to ever walk this earth, who oppresses his people and loves it, was doing at the funeral service for Nelson Mandela, one of the greatest people to walk this earth, who worked tirelessly to free his fellow countrymen, in the first place???

to offer respect?
 
in that case are you unaware that doing such a move would make the u.s seem childish?

No it would not, not in this case. Everyone hates Castro and our President would have come off as a hero just for giving him a simple gesture like a middle finger.

A hero to people stuck in junior high school anyway.

Not quite, just a president who fights for his country, instead of apologizing for it.

He ****s on his allies and supplicates to his enemies-and in left-land thats a sign of strength-remember the "reset" button? :roll:

They are both socialists, the left will overlook amazing atrocities if you are on the same political team.

If he's going to act like a junior high kid, better he do it with the middle finger than a bow and a handshake in this instance.
 
So? That's all on Cuba and not for our leadership to fix.

Howdy CB. I'm just saying that the embargo has damaged Cuban citizens. If your ok with that, that's another matter. I still would like to see Americans polled on the idea of naturalizing relations with Cuba.
 
Several pictures of conservative presidents shaking hands, holding hands and hugging men equally evil in some cases, worse in others and it all gets explained away as acceptable, yet Obama doing the same gets condemnation. That is soooooo blatantly partisan, those of you involved in that perpetuate a big part of what's wrong with America!
