But scholars and prominent Cubans contend the saying has always been a Communist rallying cry and that it represents the very essence of Fidel Castro’s oppressive regime.

These people are hardly ignorant. Mispronouncing words in a foreign language is forgiveable. But delivering a speech that was disrespectful and ignorant your audience, is beyond stupidity.

Not that big of a story.

If it was so serious, then it would have been within a day of the speech. Not two weeks after the fact!!! LOL!

The reporters are just slow onto Romney's plan and this story only helps Mitt because he is the only to address them even if it was awkward.

"But delivering a speech that was disrespectful and ignorant your audience, is beyond stupidity."

Really?  If I were a professional political consultant I would agree, but I'm just a plain ole guy from the Midwest.  To learn that a Massachusetts Mormon doesn't understand Spanish, isn't up to date on Castro's lines over the past 50 years and hasn't seen the movie Scarface just doesn't strike me as being stupid.

If the Cubans believe that the politicians that appear to "get it" or better yet, the politicians that have a staff that simply feed them the correct line for the moment at hand are somehow going to do a better job as President... well that's beyond stupid IMHO.

Did Hillary in her best southern drawl saying "I don't feel no ways tired" convince you she was respectful and educated of her audience?  Or did you see it as I did, simply pandering.  It didn't sway me one iota as to her qualifications for president.
