President Obama's deal to normalize relations with Castro reminds us of a fantastic 1998 episode of the long-running animated series The Simpsons, "The Trouble With Trillions."
In that episode, we learn that Montgomery Burns had made off with the $1 trillion bill that President Truman printed in 1945 to pay for Europe's postwar reconstruction.
When the FBI finally uncovers Burns' deception, he flees the country, looking for an island to buy, and, flying over Cuba, decides that it "has 'freedom' written all over it."
Burns, with Homer accompanying him, goes to see Castro, who just moments before was about to throw in the towel on communism because the country is bankrupt (sound familiar?).

Obama is Homer Simpson in black.
How could you denigrate Home Simpson like that?
Does the United States have a legislature?
As far as I can tell we have a ruler with judicial tribunals that rubber stamps his edicts.
And I sincerely do not believe I am exaggerating when I say this.
For that matter, Honey Boo Boo and Mama June could school Obama on quid pro quo and negotiation.
Much of the opposing viewpoint to the Cuba deal seems based on the idea that obama is ignorant, clueless of the monsters with whom he’s dealing and their murderous history.
I don’t agree. I think he’s fully aware and considers them role models for his own desires on governance. He doesn’t deal with such dictators out of ignorance but of malice toward the US.
My 2 cents,
Who was on the 1 trillion bill?
Behind Obama’s unconditional surrender to the Castro’s brothers, is the plot to make the American taxpayers liable for whatever the American companies sell to Cuba. The end of the embargo is their goal. "Because of something called the Export-Import Bank there's no risk whatsoever in exporting to bankrupt, murderous and kleptocratic regimes- worse there' no incentive for the kleptocrats to clean up their act, as would happen under a genuine free-market. Also the World, financed 80% by the American taxpayers will open their vaults to be freely looted by the Castro brothers."
Castro helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union, Obama before leaving want to complete the destruction of United States. In the commercial and political relations of the Cuban regime and the U.S. there are several priorities to be concerned with.
1st. Cuba has defaulted in all his international financial deals and Castro encourages other Third World nations to follow his example. Why are we going to sell to someone without the expectation to ever be pay. The American taxpayers should be aware that they are the targets of the scam by which the multinationals sell to Castro whatever he needs and we, the taxpayers, end footing the bill. Castro for 42 years has been with commercial ties with over 150 nations. Now when he has exhausted the patience of nations fool enough to have given him credit, Castro’s puppets in the media, the congress in cahoots with some greedy commercial circles are trying that the American taxpayers shoulder the heavy burden of subsidizing his regime to the tune of 9 billions dollars.
2nd. The American companies cannot made business legally with Cuba without violating several American laws.
A.- Trading with the Enemy Act.
B.- U.S. Commercial Embargo Against Cuba.
C.- Helms- Burton Law.
D.- Involvement in bribes in commercial dealings with another nation.
E.- Involvement in slave labor of foreign workers in connivance with the local authorities.
3rd. Cuba is, and has been a terrorist state for 54 years, and counts with advanced chemical, biological and cyber warfare capabilities aimed against our country. The cooperation between the Cuban regime with Iraq and Iran in the chemical and biological research is well known. A few months before the September 11 attack Castro affirmed at the University of Tehran that their cooperation would put the U.S. down to its knees. Castro once tried to nuke our cities and he has the means and the will to fulfill his dream of destroying our country. If we are involved in a worldwide war against terrorism, Cuba at 90 miles from our coasts should be a prime target in that war; so, those involved in appeasement policies towards Castro and in the promotion of the lifting of the commercial embargo against Cuba are in fact aiding and abetting our worst enemy.
The British intelligence recently made public the relationship between Castro and the terrorist guerrillas of Colombia, IRA, and Chilean terrorists. The socialist administration in Chile has expressed their deepest concern to Castro. The Cuban dictator, as usual, disregarded Chile's official inquiry into the matter and denied that any of those Chilean terrorists had ever been in Cuba, although there are phone calls that were intercepted between them while in Cuba and their relatives in Chile.
We have to wonder why Obama unconditionally surrendered to the Cuban Communist thugs endangering the security of the U.S.?

From the article,
“Could it be that the writers of The Simpsons were more clear-headed about Castro than our current president?”
Oh, I don’t know, could it be that a Border Collie is smarter than a dog turd?
“Who was on the 1 trillion bill?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I think it was Bernie Madoff or maybe Slick Willy.
True Homer is smarter.
Harry Truman had it printed with his own picture on it.
