Fidel Castro to Obama: We don't need your 'presents'
Associated Press ^ | Mar 28, 2016 9:12 AM EDT | Michael Weissenstein

Fidel Castro responded Monday to President Barack Obama’s historic trip to Cuba with a long, bristling letter recounting the history of U.S. aggression against Cuba, writing that “we don’t need the empire to give us any presents.”

The 1,500-word letter in state media titled “Brother Obama” was Castro’s first response to the president’s three-day visit last week, in which the American president said he had come to bury the two countries’ history of Cold War hostility. […]

Obama’s visit was intended to build irreversible momentum behind his opening with Cuba and to convince the Cuban people and the Cuban government that a half-century of U.S. attempts to overthrow the Communist government had ended, allowing Cuban to reform its economy and political system without the threat of U.S. interference.

Fidel Castro writes of Obama: “My modest suggestion is that he reflects and doesn’t try to develop theories about Cuban politics.” …

Well what do you know. I agree with Fidel Castro. Obama needs to just shut up.

“Fidel Castro responded Monday to President Barack Obama’s historic trip to Cuba with a long, bristling letter recounting the history of U.S. aggression against Cuba”

Really? Did it include the part where the USA helped free Cuba from its colonial oppressor Spain in the Spanish-American War?

When Castro seized power in 1959, Cuba was the third wealthiest country in the Americas, behind the US and Canada. No paradise, ruled by dictators, but this dictator in 57 years turned Cuba into the second poorest country in the Americas, just behind Haiti. We need nothing from him, owe nothing to him, and he just spat on this country and its leader for opening up some trade, establishing an embassy, not complaining about his abomidable human rights record, and not demanding the return of cop murderer Joanne Chesimard (now calls herself Assata Shakur or some such made up name).

Even the half-dead, senile dictator of a rotting third-world corpse of a country rejects the overtures of obama, and laughs his offer to scorn.

Gotta give Fidel credit; he'd rather see his country sink into the Caribbean than give up his socialist myth. Which speaks to his ideological integrity, but doesn't say much about his compassion for his subjects.

About a month ago my watch started showing the wrong time. (It needed cleaning)

I'd get up at 5:30 and put it on and it would say 2:15. Or, at lunchtime it would say 8:20. Sometimes it would be within 20 or 30 mintues and think it was getting better, bot of course it wasn't.

I kept putting it on for about three days before finally taking it to the shop. What caused me to do so was my wife saying it was like Obama; it was just there to fill the space on my wrist or give me the impression that something was functional when I really knew it wasn't.

Of course in America's case it's much worse. Keeping the Obama watch on our wrist is causing a serious health wrist.

Castro: President’ Obama why did you come to Cuba?

Obama: Fidel, oh buddy, oh comrade, I felt that I needed a Foreign Policy victory after 8 years and I am counting on you, to make me look good.

Castro: You are not wanted here, leave and return Guantanamo to us!

Obama: OK Fidel, can I do a photo-op with Raoul?

Castro: Raoul hates you Americans, hates you and all that you represent.

Obama: OK Fidel, I'll sweeten the deal with you. I will give you 50 million US Dollars as part of an aid package.

Castro: We do not want your filthy Capitalist money or your presence here! Now, get out of my office you swine!

Obama: OK, ok Fidel but please do not mention any of this negative publicity to the press ok? I mean, I gotta look good here.

Castro: Get out you ^^%^%##*%$%$^%!!

Obama: OK, Raoul, ready to go to the press conference?

Raoul: Yes Mr. President’ but do not touch me, hug me or grasp my hand, ok?

Obama: OK Raoul, I will follow your cue, whatever you want and say...

Castro to his advisers after Obama leaves his office:
Who put that imbecile into the White House?

Castro Aid: The American voter my leader, the American voter...

Castro: I fail to comprehend that they did this. He is the most incompetent and naive leader I have ever met in my 57 years as dictator. I thought JFK was young and naive in 1961 but my goodness, this President is the biggest loser America has ever produced.

Castro aid: Maybe we should show more compassion to the idiot, leader, after all he shows signs that his mental IQ is 56...

Castro: Yes, yes, indeed. Call Raoul, tell him to try to shake Obama’s hand, ok?

Castro Aid: My leader, it is too late, we saw Raoul hold the American’s limp wrist in the air for a few seconds. It was most embarrassing...for Obama, not for Raoul...

Another day another act of treason. He couldn’t wait till Castro kicked the bucket, he had to give him a sense of victory and superiority first. I suppose next Obummer will be making a trip to North Korea to prostrate himself before Kim ung Wacko.

Obama is so out of his league, he goes there and bends over for the commies and he can’t even do that correctly!

These American red diaper commies like Obama are all ‘book educated’ on the wonderfulness of communism and collectivism but when they experience it first hand, they aren’t prepared.

It reminds me of the movie ‘Breaking Away’. The main character idolizes Italian bike racers and when he finally gets to compete with them, they jam a bike pump into his spokes and knock him out of the race!
