President Obama is hopefully planning a visit to Cuba and sees longtime co-dictator Raul Castro, who has taken over for ailing brother Fidel, as a pragmatist, not "an ideologue."
In a newly released Yahoo interview, Obama said, "I am very much interested in going to Cuba, but I think the conditions have to be right."
The president told correspondent Olivier Knox, "My hope is that sometime next year we look at the conditions there and we say, you know what? Now would be a good time to shine a light on progress that's been made, but also maybe to nudge the Cuban government in a new direction."

Now would be a good time to shine a light on progress that's been made, but also maybe to nudge the Cuban government in a new direction.
Yeah Raul, you aren't doing communism the right way, follow my lead.
Only those on the political right can be stereotyped and labeled. Anyone else is an individual, and no other groups may ever be talked about in general terms, unless those terms are flattering and cause them to get more tax money. Don’t y’all know the rules yet?
One can only hope he gets to visit Gitmo for a long time.
Of course BO would think Castro is not ‘an ideologue’. He doesn’t see himself as ‘an ideologue’ either. He sees eye to eye on Castro on everything except one: Castro isn’t all that anxious to import Muslim terrorists into Cuba.
The Castro’s should be worried that Obama will destroy the Castro destroyed Cuba
Oh that “Onion!” They get me every time!
Oh. It’s real????
“Look he imprisons and murders people because he enjoys it, not because some dusty old book by Marx or Mao tells him to.”
No. Obama and Castro are comrades. I can’t wait until this joke of a President is out of office.
Leftist never see each other as ideologues. They seem normal to each other.
Now that Venezuela is out of favor, and Europe heading right, it is getting lonely on the left wing.
From the article:
“He[OBAMA]added that Castro is even a forward thinker.”
No surprise there of course.
$10 says Berry will present Castro with the deed to Gitmo.
I agree.
100%,
I am completely out of that loop, but that seems to me to be completely what he might have in mind.
Whatever you say, Zero/s
the more obama talks, the more foolish and stupid he looks....
cuba is a 1950’s time machine ...
COMMUNISM CATERS TO 1%... PARTY MEMBERS... THE REST GROVEL IN POVERTY AND DESPAIR..
hey does castro’s brother want to pay for or move out of the house he lives in that he confiscated from my friend ... the castos are unrepentant MURDERERS .... communism is a concept for the stupid and the ignorant and the ivy league ivory tower LIBTARDS....
Nothing wrong with being an ideolouge as long as you have the right ideas.
*correction* ideals
Ping.
Maybe he will go to Cuba and stay there.
