Obama: Cuba’s Revolution, Like America’s, Was a ‘Liberation Movement’
National Review ^ | 3/22/16 | Tom S. Elliott

President Obama told the Cuban people this morning the Communist revolution that brought the Castros to power was a “liberation movement,” just like America’s own revolution. ”Here’s my message to the Cuban government and the Cuban people,” Obama said. ”The ideals that are the starting point for every revolution, America’s revolution, Cuba’s revolution, the liberation movements around the world, these ideals find their truest expression, I believe, in democracy.” “Not because American democracy is perfect,” he emphasized, ”but because we’re not, and we like every country need the space that democracy gives us to change. . . .

He’s probably measuring Guantanamo to see if those Iranian nukes will fit

The fact that a Communist government is only 90 miles away from the U.S. just goes to show how much we have fallen.

JFK should have done a Normandy-like invasion and told the Russkies to pound sand.

If I’m not mistaken our revolution was about freedom for the people and Castro’s was about enslaving people, our turkey of a _resident doesn’t see the difference because he’s no different than the Castro’s.

Obama is a communist. It is impossible to deny the obvious simple truth.

”But democracy is the way that we solve them. That’s how we got health care for more of our people. That’s how we made enormous gains in women’s rights and gay rights.”

He is such a liar on Heath care he loves to talk about more than half of our country was and is against it. It was shoved down out throats by bastard politicians who are exempt from it..

He should stay in Cuba.

Ditto. Somebody had to say it!
Can you imagine all the Cuban eye-rolling and
‘knowing looks’ exchanged (at Obama’s expense) yesterday? They know B.S. when they hear it, even if said in English.
The dignitaries probably had to leave the meeting early, or take frequent breaks, to keep from laughing out loud in the American President’s smiling face!

Trump should make a public statement to Castro:

“Keep Obama, Please. Just send back Air Force 1, as I will be needing it in 10 months.”

Obama eats Karl Marx Oats for breakfast every morning. Laced with mind-altering ingredients. Doesn’t live in the real world. Makes him think he’s in a Salvadore Dali picture where clocks melt off tables.

I was not aware Cuba was a democracy so this is all news to me.

The only voting rights Cubans have had in the last 60 years is the right to vote with their feet, if they did not get shot trying to escape

I’d almost guarantee there’s a Che poster in the private residence.

Maybe little Che coasters and His and His Che bath towels

How it possible that the majority of voters in this country could elect such an anti American, Marxist freak?

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to an electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails us. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.”

Translated into English from an article appearing in the Czech Republic as published in the Prager Zeitung of 28 April 2010

I was sitting in class today listening to a very interesting quote from Edmund Burke one of our founding fathers. He said that “the American war for Independence was not a revolution.” A revolution is what the french, russians, cubans, and many others had.
