I hate it when I agree with McCain.

It's not that hard to agree with a piece of crap every now and then. Sometimes you see a hippie slip on some dog crap, and enjoy the triumph of the crap. It's like that when I sometimes agree with McQueeg, you know what I mean?

Meanwhile, back at the White House:

"Holy CRAP! What is McCain SAYING. Handlers 13 and 27, pick him up IMMEDIATELY and make sure he's on his medication. Handlers 9, 18 and 38, get me the NOC chief and have him remind John WHO THE **** HE WORKS FOR! MOVE!!!"

BIRDS OF A FEATHER...

Obama’s Handshake with Castro

By Mona Charen

12/10/2013

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”

See video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFSR40-z6_g&feature=player_embedded

(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.)

A MISBEGOTTEN NAND SHAMEFUL HANDSHAKE ,

Carol Platt Liebau

12/10/2013

A sophisticate at the New Republic deems any controversy over the handshake to be just "silly."

Really? A bipartisan group of Cuban-American lawmakers don't see it that way. Republican Ted Cruz walked out of the memorial when Castro spoke. A New Jersey congressman, Democrat Albio Sires, denounced the handshake, noting that Mandela “stood for everything that the Castro regime has taken from the Cuban people over that past 50 years; freedom, equality, and human rights.”

Indeed, as former assistant secretary of state Otto Reich points out, Raul Castro's hands in fact have American blood on them.

And as Cuba's dictator, Human Rights Watch has reported that Raul Castro is no better than his brother Fidel. In Cuba, one can still be locked up for mere "dangerousness" -- that is, on the government's generalized suspicion that someone is likely to break Cuban law in the future. This serves as a pretext for imprisoning those who exercise basic human rights. From Human Rights Watch:

The Raul Castro government . . . uses a range of other draconian laws to silence free speech, quash labor rights, and criminalize all forms of dissent. Human rights defenders, journalists, and other civil society members tried under these laws are subjected to systematic due process violations, including abusive interrogations, the denial of legal counsel, and sham trials.

Political prisoners are subjected to widespread abuses, including forced ideological re-education, extended solitary confinement, and the denial of medical treatment for serious illnesses.

In addition to imprisoning dissenters, Raúl Castro's government also enforces political conformity using beatings, short-term detention, public acts of repudiation, and the denial of work, among other tactics. Taken together, these everyday forms of repression create a climate of fear that has a profound chilling effect on the exercise of fundamental freedoms in Cuban society.

This is the regime of the man Obama was greeting with such deference today.

Otto Reich also notes that a legitimizing handshake with an American president has been a long-held aspiration of the thuggish Castro brothers -- but withheld by presidents of both parties. That is, until today.
