Gov. Chris Christie has called on President Barack Obama to demand that Cuba return a woman convicted of killing a New Jersey State Police officer in 1973 before the United States moves forward with a plan to restore diplomatic relations with the communist nation.

The Republican governor wrote in a letter to Obama that he profoundly disagrees with the decision announced last week to re-establish diplomatic ties with Cuba, saying he does not share the view that taking that step "without a clear commitment from the Cuban government of the steps they will take to reverse decades of human rights violations will result in a better and more just Cuba for its people.

Interesting

I think this is the murderer Maxine waters ask Castro to protect. In a sane world this would have cost waters reelection

Had not heard that, so I looked it up. Here is the most damning part:

The second reason I oppose this measure is because I respect the right of Assata Shakur to seek political asylum. Assata Shakur has maintained that she was persecuted as a result of her political beliefs and political affiliations. As a result, she left the United States and sought political asylum in Cuba, where she still resides.

However, the most vicious and reprehensible acts were taken against the leaders and organizations associated with the Black Power or Black Liberation Movement. Assata Shakur, was a member of the Black Panther Party, one of the leading groups associated with the Black Liberation Movement. The Black Panther Party was the primary target of U.S. domestic government political harrassment and persecution during this era.

Words fail me to describe the contempt that this woman deserves.

Words don't fail me. Maxine Waters is a) a 'tard or b) a seditious trollope fronting for racist Communist murderers.

I like b).

From the letter quoted above""Joanne Chesimard was the birth name of a political activist...

Max f'd up, that was her married name. She sends a letter to the head of state of another country and she has a very basic fact wrong in the opening paragraph.

The chances of the Obamanation doing that is as good as him endorsing Ted Cruz for president.

Too little, too late your fatness. You no longer have credibility after so many hugs with the fool on the hill. Shut up.

How about Cuba turns itself around first for a period of 7 years.

Then we could loosen up on them a little.

Bwaaaa ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa!!! As if Obola gives a flying fig what Chris Christie wants.

Does Christie really think the intimate moment they shared after Hurricane Sandy really matters to Obola? Face it, Chris, he used you for his own self-gratification. If he hasn't called you for another date yet, he never will.

Time to move on Chris. There's plenty more DemocRAT fish in the ocean.

Maybe we’ll get her back, and then Obama will pardon her and give her a hero’s welcome.

“Face it, Chris, he used you for his own self-gratification.”

That was the other way around; Christie needed money for NJ after Hurricane Sandy, and he got it. However that was perceived in other states, Christie is very popular in NJ for his stance on property taxes and could win for years to come. He has all the right enemies...
