Disgusting.
My wife is Cuban. If we’re getting technical, she’s Cuban-Italian, but the point is that her father was a Cuban gentleman who - until the Castro brothers took over - owned a hospital in Havana. Since he was smart enough to see that Castro spelled trouble, he sent his family to Miami during the run-up to Fidel’s takeover. He stayed behind to try and ride out the storm. Unfortunately, his ability and willingness to care for the poor was seen as a threat to the new regime and he was marked for death once the rebel army took complete control of the country. He escaped to South America, and eventually made his way to the US. He re-established himself as a doctor and, years later, my wife was born.
He was one of the lucky ones. In the process, though, he lost everything. He and his family lost the lives they knew. Their home, their hospital, their careers, and their life’s savings were stolen. ...But that was better than facing Raul Castro’s firing squads.
Sidebar - it still really gets me when I see those Bernie supporters and rallies. Do they know what socialism/communism really is?
Yes, they do know.
If Obama were born in 1940 and was part of the Castro Revolution he no doubt would have been one of Fidel’s brutal henchmen.
I doubt he would have been a brutal henchman.
Probably more like a cabin boy.
none the less, he certainly would have supported the brutality.
“Do they know what socialism/communism really is?”
Absolutely not. The Bernie type of followers have had their heads filled full of BS dreams of World order by leftist academia, supported by MSM, movies, television, books they read, etc. as everything righteous, moral, and Godly has been disparaged to prop up the propaganda.
They whom are leading the Communist charge of course know exactly what they are doing, and often simply for their own greed as they know well and good what will happen to others under such governance, and simply put don’t give a damn about their fellow man other than what they can wring out of their lives for themselves.
Agreed.
That lily livered sissy punk pinko commie would survive doing anything physical much less brutal.
Now ordering it done, no problem.
Modern Cuban youth are a far cry from the Cubans of that 50s - 60s generation.
Most would support Castro and have no problem with Obama.
My wife is Cuban also.
They may not; however, O certainly does.
He cheerfully posed for the international cameras in front of a Che Guevara likeness - but when he spoke for the same international crowd at Georgetown he insisted they conceal the cross and other religious symbols behind the podium.
My wifes family has a similar story. Basically, her father’s family was wiped out by Castro. None of them were in positions of power or influence, they simply refuse to toe the line, so they were killed. He escaped. A very sad story he told me before he died.
No doubt getting pointers from fidel and raoul on how to deal with those "Crackers clinging to their Bibles and guns".
What do you expect from someone who admires communist dictators?
Obama would have done the cha cha had Fidel offered to lead
Yeah, his big grin in front of the Che relief said it all. How the MSM successfully buried his past will be the subject of many Journalism school seminars in the future. Let's not let it happen again. A lot of American Still Don't know Obama’s communist upbringing and networks. Still amazing to me he got reelected. .

freebies
some overeating that was never reconciled
guilt
MSM cover up of multiple things that would sink a republican. same thing
now being done with Hillary and servers/foundation
Yes, they do know.
They (wrongly) think they'll be the ones in charge.
Yeah... that’s the ironic part.
Won’t they be surprised when they are given their orange jumpsuits and marched out to the stump.
