Obama Apologizes to Castro

Hatuey said:
Lmao, this made me chuckle:



Yeah, Rubio isn't a credible source on this. When he went on his rant that the US' is setting a bad example by opening relations with dictators because dictators are bad, I laughed even harder.

Yeah what does a Cuban American know? Lets face it, your idea of a credible source is a leftist.
 
'Cuban Americans' (Cubans first, Americans as an afterthought) have been setting the foreign policy of this country with respect to Cuba for far too long. Screw them.

I live in Florida and know lots of Cubans. Everyone I've spoken to opposes Obama's Cuban policy. Rubio reflects the feeling of Cubans in Florida. It's easy for anglo's not connected to the communist regime in Cuba to applaud the change in policy but the people with skin in the game should be listened to.

Kobie has decreed that the Cuban American community is fine with this. Perhaps he read it in liberal mag up in utica.

The question is should the rest of the country move on? Cuba is a communist government that oppresses it's own people. I used to go to a Cuban restaurant in Tampa owned by someone who had been a political prisoner in Castro's prison. He served a mean Vaca Frita and Cuban revolutionary philosophy. The stories he told about life in Cuba and the Cuban prison were horrible. I think Rubio made some strong points. The time to normalize relations with Cuba may be when the Castro brothers die. All we are doing there now is strengthening despots.

Agreed, and I dont think it will help the average Cuban in the least.

Perhaps I read it in the study I posted and you ignored. Please do try being honest for once. It's very liberating.

He has nothing to apologize for in this case, but it's incredible it took so long for us to begin to abandon this outdated and idiotic policy.

Yes, it certainly was outrageous to block Cuban from having nuclear weapons and rightwing radicalism to block Cuban from arming and sending armed forces throughout the Caribbean, Central American and South America. From the start, we should have cheered Castro's military take-over of all private property as they broke away from our evil notion of private ownership and if he had openly allowed the Cuban government to be the USA's #1 drug cartel we wouldn't be having this problem with Mexico.

To make amends Obama should not just have trashed Americans in Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands - also evil democratic capitalistic societies, we owe Cuba 5 decades worth of nuclear tipped missiles. How much longer is Emperor Obama not going to fully do the right thing?

Oh, and we owe the Castro family 5o years of lost income. We owe Castro personally probably $500 billion dollars. Obama should write him a check.
 
President Obama should have all pictures and any other indication of President Kennedy from the White House and all federal property by executive degree for just our evil, oppressive and stupid he was towards Castro and his government. Kennedy was far, far worse that Winston Churchill whose bust he had removed.

It's time to make amends and point out who the true villains of American history are. JFK definitely belongs right at the top of that list, that dirty rotten anti-commie bigoted hate mongering capitalistic rat he was. If the Democratic Party has ANY integrity, they would put condemning President Kennedy in their platform and should apologize to the American people for his coming from their party. Clearly, he was a radical rightwing ubber conservative haters and warmonger.
 
From the article linked above:

When analyzed by country of birth, the poll shows only 37 percent of Cuba-born respondents have a favorable view of Obama, compared to 56 percent with an unfavorable opinion. For those born in the US, Obama’s favorable rating is at 51-49 percent.

It is interesting how LOW the numbers are for Obama compared to typical Latino numbers. Once again, Obama is playing for the support of white people. African-Americans, as far as doing anything but words, still haven't made his list of who he cares about in real terms. But, then, Cuban Americans are Americans, and Obama as President of the World has to look out for all non-Americans all of which have been victims of the USA.

Did Obama not just appease a commie dictator by opening relations with him? Because I swear that just happened, kobie.

You would swear wrong, US Conservative, since stating commie appeasement is more of your bankrupt false equivalency mantra. Not to mention it has ZERO to do with yer OP title, deceptive as all agree it is from the Weekly Standard .

Sounds like you aren't a fan of freedom of speech and the press. Why do you hate the 1st ammendment? Is it because it reflects poorly (rightly so) on Dear Leader?
 
Great move by President Obama. South Florida will get over it.

Your nonsensical trolling is duly noted.

Utter nonsense by a newbie. My history with Cubans goes back a few years. ;)
 
US Conservative said:
Yeah what on earth could Marco Rubio know about Cuba. :doh

Nothing, considering he wasn't even born there. When is the last time Marco Rubio went to Cuba? ;) As I said, he is not a credible source.
