Castro Now Issuing Demands On U.S. - Well Done, Mr. Obama
Investors Business Daily ^ | 1/29 | Investors Business Daily

Posted on 01/30/2015 9:56:26 AM PST by TangledUpInBlue

Now, to add insult to injury, Castro has started issuing his own set of demands.

In a speech at the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States summit in Costa Rica on Wednesday, he said there'd be no normalization of relations unless the U.S. ends the trade embargo, closes the naval base at Guantanamo Bay and takes Cuba off the list of state sponsors of terror.

Oh, and he also wants the U.S. to stop allowing Cubans to stay in this country just because they manage to set foot on American soil. That's been causing a brain drain from the island, you see.

Castro has even told Obama what to do, saying in his speech the president should "use with resolve his broad executive powers to substantially change the scope of the blockade, even without the Congress' decision."

Come to think of it, saying Obama is the worst negotiator since Jimmy Carter is actually an insult to Carter.

Castro also wants Obama to wire 100 million to a numbered account to the Isle of Man. Should be no problem on this.

Reminds of the scene in "A Few Good Men" where the GITMO Commander calls in the desk sargent saying "Get me the President, we're surrendering a position on GITMO".

Only now it will be President calling the GITMO Commander.

Obama knew this going in. He had no intention of extracting and concessions. Just another step in the "taking America down a notch".

I get that Soetoro is a liberal and hates this country's constitutional freedoms. But he really hates it. He is seeking to hurt and punish. What did America ever do to him to deserve his willful destruction?

How is it a set of demands when giving Gitmo back was the plan all along?

OBAMA TO THE RESCUE OF CASTRO STALINIST REGIME

The Chinese maintain an advanced electronic base in the center of the Havana province to intercept all electronic communications in U.S. and is equipped for eventual cyber attacks to U.S.

Putin is reopening the spy base in the outskirts of Havana that was closed after the dismembering of the Soviet Union.

Six months before the 9/11 Islamic terrorist attack to New York and Washington, Fidel Castro, speaking at Tehran University in Iran on May 10, 2001, vowed that “the imperialist king will finally fall”, that their cooperation would put the U.S. down its knees. The hatred of the Castro brothers against U.S. has not mellowed after 56 years in power.

After Obama surrender to the communist regime the American base in Cuba, Castro might give the Guantanamo base to Iran to consolidate and strengthen the Cuban ties to the Islamic terrorist network, an alliance that started since the very beginning of taken power in Cuba the communist revolution.

The grey hair comes from the stress of playing golf, 17 day taxpayer funded Hawaii vacations, and intimate Camp David weekends with Reggie..
