In food crisis, Cuba limits sales so all can eat

Hopefully, Fidel won't have to go hungry.

At least they still have all the free healthcare they need.

Possibly the shortage was caused by Michael Moore's caterer when he did his latest film.

A bit of insight into a collectivist economy; it’s a benchmark for socialist/communist societies, and should serve as a warning to Americans with respect to what they may anticiate under an Obama government. Alas, the Saint Barack hagiographers will pay no heed, and we in this country may some day come to regard the Cubans with envy.

Aw, yes, the workers paradise revisited. Haven’t heard from ol’ Fidel lately, is he enjoying the wonders of hell yet? ;-)

[CitizenUSA]

Ah, they’ve opted for the Obama plan!

[mike-zed]

So everyone will go hungry but only a few will starve? Hooray! Proof positive that the socialist model is the best!

Vote Hussein!

See how well the people have prospered under Papa Castro's benevolent reign. I'm sure we in the USA will be treated as kindly by Dear Leader Obama if he becomes El Presidente.

Cubans lived better when Cuba was a prosperous tourist destination.

Of course, the worker's paradise could always go green...

Didn’t BHO tell us last summer we might have to sacrifice by not eating as much as we would like or heating our homes to the extent we would like. Sounds a little like the Cuban plan.

If it gets to a point where Americans have to limit our expectations or end up paying much higher taxes to fund anti global warming initiatives or other nonsense like that, we’ll see how all those dolts who want “change” will defend their votes for 0bama then.

Send this picture to Cuba! It will solve the crisis! Everyone will loose their appetite, it sure worked for me, it fact I may not eat for days.

Cuba has rich volcanic soil, ample rainfall, and a mild tropical climate. I wonder why they can’t grow enough food to feed themselves? I wonder?

[Polybius]

Here are the first ten minutes of the new movie "An American Carol". Check out the last 5 minutes with the Michael Moore character in Cuba. :-)

An American Carol -- the first 10 minutes.

Silence! Or you lose food ration card one year!

[cp124]

Hank Paulson announces food rationing in the US so Wall Street and Bank fat cats can still gorge like it is 2006.

[TYVets]

Silence! Or you lose food ration card one year!

An edict from Hussein's Missouri Truth Squad?

[4buttons]

The oppressed people who can’t feed together can always read together.

48 years later and the Generalissimo is still screwing the place up.

[Winged Hussar]

Sounds like our country after a year or so of Obama.

[freeandfreezing]

Cuba has rich volcanic soil, ample rainfall, and a mild tropical climate.

And it was a food exporting nation until about 1960.

I wonder why they can’t grow enough food to feed themselves? I wonder?

It is a guaranteed side effect of a socialist, centrally planned government. The kind that Bill Ayers and Barack Obama think is a good idea.

This is the future of the US under Obama.
