Statement by the President on the Passing of Fidel Castro
White House Press Office ^ | 11/26/16 | President Obambi

Posted on 11/26/2016 7:02:37 PM PST by 5150 FREEPER

At this time of Fidel Castro’s passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people. We know that this moment fills Cubans - in Cuba and in the United States - with powerful emotions, recalling the countless ways in which Fidel Castro altered the course of individual lives, families, and of the Cuban nation. History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him.  For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements. During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us, pursuing a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends - bonds of family, culture, commerce, and common humanity. This engagement includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in Cuba. Today, we offer condolences to Fidel Castro's family, and our thoughts and prayers are with the Cuban people. In the days ahead, they will recall the past and also look to the future. As they do, the Cuban people must know that they have a friend and partner in the United States of America.

They are trying to steal the election. Don’t be surprised if boxes of new ballots show up in those states.

Taking a lesson straight out of Al Franken’s playbook and checking the trunks of every democrat in the state for boxes of ballots.

How long before he leaves office? I won’t feel comfortable, till I see the door hitting him in the ass on his way out. At some later date, he will join Fidel in that warm place.

And The Washington Post gets all sappy about Fidel with a pictorial of his life:

Honest Soetoro:

“When fellow Communist Fidel Castro died in 2006 of sickness, I was stricken with grief that one of the Great Satan America’s greatest foes was defeated. He had tirelessly worked with the liberals in the US government and my Islamist brothers to bring chaos and destruction in the borders of the Great Satan; we appreciate him using Cuba as a staging ground for our Islamic terrorist brothers. He had raised many generations of Cubans with a burning hatred of America, capitalism, and Christ.

He was a figure akin to Che Guevara, so we had to keep the legend alive as long as possible. Raul wasn’t as good at destroying America as Fidel, but he did alright, and the idea that Cuban medicine was keeping a decrepit corpse alive past its expiration date was a valuable tool in convincing American idiots that Obamacare could be successful. Now that Trump is elected President, and it appears as though he will take office, I regret to inform my Communist and Muslim brothers that Cuba can no longer be sustained; it was Soros and liberal money, after all, which kept Cuba from collapsing. Since Soros, myself, and the rest of my liberal allies will be brought to justice via Trump, I cannot keep up the facade any longer. Cuba will become a capitalistic and Christian nation; Fidel and I tried to stop this, but we have ultimately lost.”

Meanwhile, back in hell, Satan is patting Fidel suggestively on the butt and saying “Well done, good and faithful servant. You’ll do till Obama gets here”.

Don’t sweat it. They have to prove chain of custody, etc., like evidence.
The election is over. Trump won.

Makes you wonder what kind of loving, sympathetic press releases the Obummer would have put out upon the deaths of Stalin or Hitler?

Lest we forget how sickening and pathetic Obama really is, he graces us with near daily reminders.
