Fox News’ The Five began its broadcast Tuesday with what has somehow becomes the biggest news story of the day: President Barack Obama’s handshake with Cuban President Raul Castro at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service. (Obama’s “funeral selfie” is a close second, and the show took that on moments later). “President O sure seems cozy with the Commies,” Eric Bolling said.
“I can’t believe you led with that,” Bob Beckel told Bolling. He was baffled by the fact that his co-host was trying to make the handshake news, saying, “That’s bull.”
When Bolling defended the topic by saying it has also been discussed on CNN, and asked why Obama couldn’t just skip over the Cuban leader as he approached the podium to deliver his eulogy, Beckel shot back, “What do you think, he’s going to catch Communism by shaking hands?”
Watch video below, via Fox News:
Fox’s Beckel: You Think Obama’s Going to ‘Catch Communism’ from Castro?
Me: He's already got a terminal case of it.
>Fox’s Beckel: You Think Obama’s Going to ‘Catch Communism’ from Castro?
No Bob. They both already have that. But, I am concerned that Castro would catch “the gay” from Obama.
Actually more like Castro will catch Communism from Obama.
Exactly...You can’t catch something you’ve already got.
I don’t know who would catch communism from who. Castro is at least making small reforms in the direction of the free market. Obama is making vast jumps toward dictatorial fascism.
Just imagine the howling from the lefties if Reagan had shook Pinochet’s hand. Which I wished he would have.
Some people believe Raúl already has teh ghey.
Actually Castro should be afraid that he might catch even MORE Commie from Obama..if I had to pick Id say that Obama is more Communist than even Castro
Obama’s Handshake with Castro

Alan Gross has been rotting in a Cuban prison for going on five years for the offense of distributing computers and cell phones to Cuba’s tiny Jewish community. Not only is Gross an American citizen, he was an employee of the U.S. State Department’s Agency for International Development when he was unlawfully arrested.
That the Obama administration has not seen to his release is outrage enough — but to witness the handshake between Obama and Raúl Castro makes the stomach turn. Even without the Gross case, the nature of the Cuban regime should be enough to cause our president to find some way to avoid a handshake. Shameful day to be an American.

OBAMA “Bowing to Foreign Monarchs and Dictators”

(Obama salutes all smiles first among all the dignitaries to Raul Castro, who with Fidel and Che Guevara, tried to obliterate New York during the Missile Crisis. It must be noted that next to the Cuban murderous tyrant was the democratic elected President of Brazil, Dilma Russeff, and any gentleman would have salute her first, specially being Brazil the most important country in Latin America.)
This is the same Beckel who said, “Poor widdle George Zimmerman, who can’t take getting beaten up.” Screw Beckel.
Obummer can GIVE communism to Castro
Congenital, had it from birth.
Leftists ALWAYS deal with appalling turns of events by ridiculing any concerns raised. Alinksy has many disciples in the Democrat party. We really need to start ridiculing Obama and his minions. It is the only thing that is effective. And they HATE being ridiculed.
Or Castro's strain may see the virulence of Obama's strain and just wither and die.
Beckel is a turd.
Liberals are poorly informed.
Can’t catch something you already have.
Communism is in Obama’s DNA. The hand shake just confirms what many have thought.
