Obama sucks. He gets 1 for 3, but it’s better than his Gitmo deal which set the all time record for bad.

“Gross was convicted of espionage by a Cuban court in 2011 and sentenced to 15 years”

I’ll bet he lost his constitutional right to bare arms
here at home if the charge is consistent with a felony
in this country.

Gross was in Cuba hooking up Cuban Jews to the internet.

The American media is still ignoring Cuban government mistreatment of Cuban Jews, a fact that Gross was spreading.

A Marxist leaning Pope blessed the Marxist American president embrace of Castro’s genocide communist regime condemning the Cuban enslaved people to eternal damnation. On the deal Castro liberated an American illegally imprisoned in Cuba in exchange for the freedom of three Cuban spies serving prison terms in U.S. and the normalization of relations with a country that occupied for decades a top position in the list of the State Department ‘s terrorist countries. The Cuban regime tried to obliterate New York and Washington with a nuclear attack during the October Missile Crisis of 1962. In November 1962, the Castro brothers’ and Che Guevara’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The Holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.

To complete Obama’s betrayal of the American people, with the normalization of relations comes the opening to Cuba of the American and International bank credits that will sustain the Cuban regimen passing to the American taxpayers the same heavy burden that helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union.

They also ignore that Cuba is one of the most repressive countries of gay people. You’d think the liberals would be screaming about that.

I have no problem with this. The American gets freed and goes home. Americans get to have commerce with their neighbor. American business benefits. Rush and other Americans can get good cigars.

If we examined and listened to the various lying media every country has problems with government behavior towards its people. For Pete’s sake we gave (no not “we” but the traitors in DC that we pay and who failed to defend our national interests with balanced trade) gave the Commies in China our economy. China is just as non-democratic as Cuba.

I never figured out why we didn’t start restoring relations 30 years ago and create commerce and improve relations. Instead handful of ex-Cubans with a chip on their shoulder controlled US policy. Maybe if I was a Cuban that went through it I’d think differently, but I’m not.

Commie president and commie pope:
(Reuters) - The Vatican leveraged its good relations with Cuba and the United States to help broker their historic resumption of ties and the deal was spurred by letters from Pope Francis to the presidents of both countries.

The Vatican, which facilitated the agreement along with Canada, gave some details of its role in a statement shortly after U.S. President Barack Obama announced the major policy shift by Washington to resume diplomatic ties after decades of hostility with the communist-ruled island.

The pope wrote letters to Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro in recent months, “and invited them to resolve humanitarian questions of common interest including the situation of certain prisoners, in order to initiate a new phase in relations between the two parties,” the statement said.

“Commie president and commie pope”

Can’t discount this, after all the Pope was from South America, plenty of Commie sentiment down there. I have ehard enough from this Pope to not discount this one bit.
