B-Man Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Obama’s Legacy Will Be Marked by His Silence on Human Rights in Cuba http://dailysign.al/25ovTUL by Ana Quintana . It was all so choreographed. President Obama’s “historic” trip to Cuba was prepped and re-prepped so that nothing would go off with a glitch. Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes jetted into Havana for the preparations. President Obama spouted his treacly niceties, drew his moral equivalences and blended it all out with a sea of banalities about “the future” in a not-so-disguised effort to create his own Nixon In China legacy thing. Never mind that dissidents were being beaten by Cuban security organs and that “President” Raul Castro offered no concessions toward human rights. Obama’s was laser-focused on sending the message of “fun” for the trip, no matter what else was going on in the world. It was all good, historic legacy fun until the rattling from the attic from Cuba’s out-to-pasture Maximo Leader, Fidel Castro, loudly put a stop to the festivities. Castro blasted Obama for his “syrupy” words and made a lunatic’s effort to relive the communist glory days of fighting Uncle Sam. What’s clear enough is that deference after deference to the Castro brothers and their legacy, the Castros continue to show nothing but contempt. Kiss a snake, and don’t be surprised if you get bit.

IDBillzFan Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Reagan supported the Filipino dictator till the last and no one even remembers that. This is a stupid propaganda cut and paste crap job No matter how many times you try to make Obama sound like a great president by comparing him to Reagan, it's just not going to work. In fact, at this juncture, comparing him to Carter doesn't even work. But you keep trying. I'm sure somebody will agree with you one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Cuban Internet Censorship is a Good Thing, According to The Nation: Venerable progressive mag argues in favor of a repressive regime controlling access to information, because it beats “corporate control.” The Left............in favor of censorship ? ...........................of course, I was just kidding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Obama has not been great, but he has not been bad either So where would you put him in that range between great and bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberius Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 So where would you put him in that range between great and bad? You mean on a scale of like 1-10, 1-1000 where great is 1 or 1000 and bad is the opposite? Something along those lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
