Ah, so that's why Obama wanted his release; a fellow commie traveler.
“While in Cuban custody, he lost more than 100 pounds, developed problems with his hips and lost most of the vision in his right eye. “
So much for Cuba’s public-option health system.
trusting fool indeed
Obama must just be looking for excuses to release foreign prisoners. We always get one and give multiple. Cuba also gets normalized trade relations. This says staged farce if ever anything did.
What the hell did this guy think would happen in a COMMUNIST country?
Just heard a brief ABC radio clip of this guy.
1. He’s from Maryland suburb of WDC
2. He was in Cuber while working from O State Dept. ( Not clear yet exactly what he was doing)
3. He’s an ‘effing Dem stooge One Worlder, kumbaya singing, amoral idiot.
4. He referred to his imprisonment as “tenure” WTH?
We traded a 180 degree change of course in our long standing Cuba policy for a pos no better than the deserter Bergdahl. What a sharp negotiator our Obama.
Oh, and he ended his speech with, “...(His)need for total privacy, (from press), claro?”
“and passed the time reading books and magazines sent by his wife. The Economist, The Atlantic and Washingtonian were favorites.”
Interesting how the castro regime allowed him access to those publications.
Well I hate Obama getting the credit for this but it should have happened 40 years ago. I’m from Florida, I grew up in Florida and lived in Miami for many years. The Republicans should have normalized relations with Cuba long ago and then flooded them with American goods. The regime would have been gone years ago. The truth is that the GOP has been held hostage by the S Fla Cuban expatriates for decades who always supplied a reliable conservative voting block.
“trusting fool”...in other words, a liberal.
Bet he doesn’t vote Democrat next time.
Obama is just getting out in front of it so he can claim it as his victory, and not the results of US government policies and hard work for the past 50 years. Time will tell. Everywhere an Obama policy touches explodes into chaos, terrorism, death, and misery. If this succeeds, it's not Obama's victory, but Cuba's surrender.
The hardcore communist regime and its economy should completely topple before we normalize anything. Once they fall to pieces, we’ll mail them a broom to start over.
What, no “The Nation’’ magazine? Wait till Katrina vanden Heuvel finds out her commie rag wasn’t on this guys reading list!
picking up and playing any musical instrument
Played Obama’s skin flute pretty well I guess.
