Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) blasted President Obama on Tuesday after the president shook hands with Cuban leader Raul Castro at the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.
“If the president was going to shake his hand, he should have asked him about those basic freedoms Mandela was associated with that are denied in Cuba,” Rubio said.

No, it is a sucker punch to make him look good.
How’s your president working for you now, young Miami ??
This is the kind of stuff he ingratiated himself with the Tea Party with, yes?
Is he worried what Castro might catch from touching the One.
Go get your shine box, Mario.
Rubio needs to shut up until time to vote.
Would Rubio feel the same way if Castro was an illegal immigrant?
“There are too many leaders who claim solidarity with Madiba’s struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people,” Obama said.”
“For instance, some leaders sic the IRS on their critics and political opponents.” Obama contined. (sarc)
Go make an ice cream you ice cream man Rubio!!!!
It was not just a handshake but also a bow.
“Is Sen. Marco Rubio getting back into fighting form?”
Naaah. He’s trying to look conservative while sucking up to every amnesty shill that comes along.
Marco haters who refuse to ever acknowledge him for doing anything right coming along in…..3……2…..1……..
(so Freep-dictable)
“If the president was going to shake his hand, he should have asked him about those basic freedoms Mandela was associated with that are denied in Cuba,” Rubio said.
What the hell do you care, Rubio? If you had your way, they’d all be over here enjoying our freedoms.
“Marco haters who refuse to ever acknowledge him for doing anything right coming along in…..3……2…..1……..”
I have no problem acknowledging when he does something right. Let me know when he resigns, and I’ll acknowledge it.
I remember when there was a Pan-American summit and GHW Bush attended. During a hand shaking time both him and Fidel Castro passed each other several times shaking hands with various leaders, but they never shook hands or even acknowledge each other.
Now it is the groveler’s turn.
Yes. Slight of hand basically. Say one thing and do another.
Just heard Sean Hannity interviewed Sen. Rubio a minute or two ago. He sure sounds like he is getting back into fighting form because he knows next year is coming.
OBAMA’S HANDSAKE WITH CASTRO
By Mona Charen

Alan Gross has been rotting in a Cuban prison for going on five years for the offense of distributing computers and cell phones to Cuba’s tiny Jewish community. Not only is Gross an American citizen, he was an employee of the U.S. State Department’s Agency for International Development when he was unlawfully arrested.
That the Obama administration has not seen to his release is outrage enough — but to witness the handshake between Obama and Raúl Castro makes the stomach turn. Even without the Gross case, the nature of the Cuban regime should be enough to cause our president to find some way to avoid a handshake. Shameful day to be an American.

OBAMA “Bowing to Foreign Monarchs and Dictators”

(Obama salutes all smiles first among all the dignitaries to Raul Castro, who with Fidel and Che Guevara, tried to obliterate New York during the Missile Crisis. It must be noted that next to the Cuban murderous tyrant was the democratic elected President of Brazil, Dilma Russeff, and any gentleman would have salute her first, specially being Brazil the most important country in Latin America
