Castro daughter: US 'dreaming' if they think Cuba will return to capitalism

Mariela Castro, Cuban president Raul Castro's daughter and a member of parliament, scoffed at the idea that Cuba would return to capitalism in the wake of the two countries' newly restored relations.

President Obama said Wednesday that Cuba should not put American businesses at a disadvantage and that (increased commerce) would do good for both countries. He explained that the U.S. would facilitate transactions and make it easier for America to export and sell goods to Cuba.

Castro's daughter, however, seemed skeptical of Obama's motives. From Havana on Thursday, Mariela Casto said the United States "must be dreaming" it if thinks Cuba will return to "being a servile country to the interests of the most powerful financial groups in the US."<->

The United States needs to deal with Cuba at arms length, Not Hug Her!....Castro's daughter understands political thuggery...she is part of that life.....

[originalbuckeye]

She’s dreaming if she thinks that’s what Obama wants. He wants US to flip to Socialism/Communism, not Cuba to flip.

[Chode]

then why does it want open relations with America???

stooopid cow...

[dfwgator]

Heck, if anything, Obama wants to bring Communism here.

[kempster]

I think she has totally misread the situation. The goal of our Administration is not to turn them to Capitalists, it is so we can turn to Communism. Who better to teach our dictator than their dictator?

[exDemMom]

I hate to say it, but NO country, ever, has avoided capitalism. The difference is that in communist/socialist countries, the system is set up in such a way as to almost exclusively benefit those at the top.

[CGASMIA68]

You beat me to it and this F’ed up populace will never ever see that

[gaijin]

While alive Chavez once told Castro that Obama was WAY beyond both of them, in terms of committment to the leftist cause.

And Chavez knew Obama pretty well.

[allendale]

Castro’s daughter is guilty of crimes against humanity and should be arrested and tried.

[gusopol3]

Are there not prisons? Are there not firing squads?

[bigbob]

Most Americans won’t give a sh#T what happens in Cuba

[SkyDancer]

She has everything garnered from the people of Cuba. Communism is good when you’re the elite.

[blackdog]

There is not a single corner of this earth that has not exploded into chaos once Obama touches it in some way, shape, or form.

The Cuban Spring is no exception.

[dfwgator]

So is Cuber setting themselves up for a North Korea-like family dynasty, with Mariela taking over after Fidel and Raul go?

[arthurus]

The Sultan in Washington is not dreaming of Cuba returning to Capitalism.

[spokeshave]

I think you nailed it.

....another 50 years to turn Cuba into a warm version of North Korea.

[Logical me]

Screw that punky little island. Castro can go to hell. King Obama is the stupidest fool America has ever had as President.

[Americanexpat]

They are afraid that if Cubans ever get a taste of capitalism they will throw off the commie yoke. Go to you tube and look at the videos of SVN today. The communist dropped a lot of restrictions on capitalism and the country has really changed for the better.

To sell to Cuba is easy, Castro will buy on credit the whole world, the problem is to get paid. It seems that Obama, and those who oppose the embargo, want to add 11 million Cubans in the Island to U.S. welfare rolls. Castro will bankrupt U.S. as he bankrupted the Soviet Union.

AMERICANS BEWARE!

Pope Francis concocted Obama’s unconditional surrender to Cuba Stalinist regime.

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 billion 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.?
