Emilio and Glorida Estefan to host President Obama (Sad)

Miami Herald ^ | 04/02/10

the Cuban-born singer and her husband, Emilio, host Obama at their Miami Beach home April 15 for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser, when the president comes to Florida to talk about cuts to the NASA space program.

The $30,400-a-couple cocktail reception is the Estefans' first political fundraiser

[SoFloFreeper]

This makes me sick. The Estefans know the oppression of Cuba--and Obama is not unlike Castro in his ideology.

WTF?!?!? THIS IS MESSED UP!!!!!!!!!!

$30,400-a-couple cocktail reception

Wonder if any of that is coming from executive bonus money.

“``the most beautiful things in this country have the flavor of other places.’’”

Not surprised that the great zero would say this. It’s typical of what a foreign interloper would believe.

Maybe a way to get some RINOs shook up is to have Charlie Daniels host $5000 a cup tea parties for conservative candidates.

[diverteach]

They’re too busy investigating Sarah Palin’s $500 a plate dinner in California.

[edpc]

Hah.....that’s tip money for the Obama/Estefan soiree.

That “D” TRUMPS EVRYTHING!!

This is the pos way of countering Rubio.

Hollyweird Ping!

Gloria, the 1980’s are calling they want their non talent celebrity back.

I always thought the Estafans were conservatives.

Sad that tthey don’t see it.

I lived in Miami for nearly 10 years while growing up. I knew many Cubans who escaped Castro's oppression.

Sadly, and unfortunately, I knew quite a few of them who didn't see anything particularly wrong with socialism, communism, fascism, etc.--even though these Cubans had come here to escape that sort of thing.

What can I say? I know all too many people who still think Obummer is a really good guy.

I liked some of Estefan's music, but I have never bought any of it, and now will never buy any of it, because some of that $$ would undoubtedly end up in the war chest of Obummer.

[SilvieWaldorfMD]

My liberal Facebook friend just asked me: Cite 10 substantive examples that Obama is like Castro.

I NEED HELP!!!

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Someone should tell the Estefans that Fidel likes ObamaCare....

The Estefan’s maybe like Castro after all....they get his Mini-Me in Obama....

Click on the keyword SOCIALISM on FR and pick the 10 examples of your choice.

[nhwingut]

LOL

He wants 10. I guess he’s not confident if he asked for a “few.”

He owns...
Banks
Autos
Student Loans
Healthcare
Mortgages
Energy
Food
Media

In only 14 months. Castro has 50 years.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Socialized medicine

Limit private auto use (Castro is king on this)

Government control of all aspects of society

Disses free democracies

Both push Afro-Centric policies...yet African people in their countries are the poorest

Pandering to Communist China (a lot of GOP do this too, unfortunately)

Both do not like Islamic Terrorists housed at GITMO

Both try to silence the opposition

Both try to silence the media (Obama’s Fairness Doctrine talk....attack on Fox News)

Both hate America

Actually, the topic was so interesting, that I decided to post a Vanity Thread on it:

VANITY: NEED EXAMPLES OF HOW OBAMA’S IDEOLOGY IS NOT UNLIKE CASTRO’S:
