We’re going to close our live coverage with a summary of Barack Obama’s second and last day in Havana, on the first presidential visit to Cuba since Fidel Castro’s revolution took over the island in 1959.
“I have come here to bury the last remnant of the cold war in the Americas,” Obama told Cuban leaders and citizens in a nationally televised address. “I know the history, but I refuse to be trapped by it,” he said. “It is time for us to look forward together. Un futuro de esperanza.”

“I have come here to bury the last remnant of the cold war in the Americas,” by surrendering.

“I have come here to bury the last remnant of the cold war in the Americas,” in America’s back.
-Barak Hussein Obama
Obama is near the end of his term... the Castro brothers are 84 (Raul) and 90 (Fidel), so maybe Obama should apply for “Dear Leader” of Cuba. It’s his “utopia” (if not that of the Cuban people). Great benefits! He gets to rule (not govern) for life... at 54 he has years left, he’s smart so I’m sure he can learn Spanish quickly... he’ll get visits and praise from rich Hollywood Leftists and the media will love him! Tis a match made in Marxist Paradise! Go for it O!
The Castro’s made a fool of Obama and he is too stupid and hard core left to even see it. He got NOTHING in return for giving almost EVERYTHING and is happy about it. Meanwhile, with blood in the streets of a NATO ally, he is doing the wave at a ball game with his pal Raul and invited south american terrorists in the audience.
“I have come here to prop up the last best Communist Dictatorship in the Americas,” Obama told Cuban leaders and citizens in a nationally televised address.
He's happy about it because he never intended to 'get' anything. This was always to be a showering of gifts upon the Castros. Same as with the Iranians.
Wonder if he met with hezzbollah in cuba.
Obama’s job is done in Cuba and now it’s off to Argentina

.... Palm Sunday 2016, Barack Hussein Obama, political redeemer of the secular left, arrived in communist Cuba aboard Air Force One. It is an island once rich in the faith, only to be annihilated by Fidel and Raul Castro and their war on religion.
“Heaven… right here in front of me,” was how Thomas Merton, the atheist-communist who became a devout Catholic monk, once described pre-Castro’s Cuba. “Every morning… I could find my way quickly to any one of a dozen churches as old as the seventeenth century. Almost as soon as I went in the door I could receive Communion, if I wished… and every fifteen or twenty minutes a new Mass was starting at a different altar…. Everywhere I turned, there was someone ready to feed me with the infinite strength of the Christ Who loved me.”
That was the wondrous, pious Cuba the Castro brothers destroyed. And it is the Castro boys that Barack Obama, product of a pro-communist/pro-Castro mother and father and a literal Communist Party USA mentor, Frank Marshall Davis, is eager to embrace — and to forgive. Really, I’m sure that in his heart of hearts, Barack agrees with the Castros that America is the side that needs to be forgiven. America is the aggressor, the sinner that stands in need of reparation.
That being the case, I’m equally sure that Obama felt no shame when Raul Castro snubbed him by not showing up to greet him when his plane landed — literally as 50 Cuban dissidents were arrested by the totalitarian state’s police goons. It was a humiliation, a disgrace, but a humiliation and disgrace that Obama, America’s president of fundamental transformation, no doubt felt was deserved.
One modern Pharisee who rebuked Obama for this embarrassment is Donald Trump. Mercifully taking a break from torching Republicans as liars, losers, idiots, morons, and chokers, and from encouraging his own disciples to “knock the hell” and “knock the crap out” of dissenters at his rallies, Trump justly slammed Obama for the Castro slight.
“Wow, President Obama just landed in Cuba, a big deal, and Raul Castro wasn’t even there to greet him,” Trump tweeted shortly before Obama blithely strolled inside the glorious Havana cathedral that the Castros have controlled for over half a century. “He [Raul] greeted Pope and others. No respect.”
It was the best Tweet from the Tweet-master/insult-master in months. No one can sling it like Donald Trump. And he wasn’t finished.
Obama’s job is done in Cuba and now it’s off to Argentina on the anniversary of the Dictatorship there . fixed it
It took them hours to get him out of the shower after the game and he didn’t even play.
