U.S. President Barack Obama shook the hand of Cuban President Raul Castro at a memorial to Nelson Mandela on Tuesday, an unprecedented gesture between the leaders of two nations which have been at loggerheads for more than half a century.

Not news. If he were snubbing Raul....now that would be news

[billorites]

Well, at least they didn’t hug or swap spit.

[saganite]

Did he bow?

[animal172]

Probably whispered in his ear. “You’re my hero. My country, the US, will one day look like yours.”

[Shady]

No but he got a thrill up his leg...

[Venturer]

One a dictator, the other a wannabee dicktator, why shouldn’t they be friends?

"Impeachable Offenses: The Case for Removing Barack Obama from Office" adds up the damages, possibly the first to do so, in more than 300 pages between two book covers. Not only is the Constitution relegated to the ash can, but inconvenient laws are ignored, sometimes with relish and often with barely a whimper from the opposition.

piece of crap and the media will just ignore it as usual because this is all about Mandela, a man who fought white rule and killed more blacks than whites including children and now S.A is a complete mess and a screwed up third world country where the minority in parts of the country live in fear and are being targeted

I want to come to Cuba and see what America can be. We need your experience at oppression and money grabbing.

Obunga seems rather pleased to meet old Raul

[P.O.E.]

Just what Mandela would have wanted.

The solution: elect an "impeachment Congress" in 2014

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

ROFL

[Heatseeker]

Did he tell Raul to release Alan Gross? Of course not.

[SMARTY]

Two criminals... no wonder they get along.

[Vendome]

Is Raul in AA ?

He looks pretty good, for a terrible drunk.

“Well, at least they didn’t hug or swap spit.”

Not in public anyway!

[Haddit]

I went to Reuters just to see the picture. There isn’t one.
