If you can’t watch a ballgame in Cuba, the terrorists win.

That was essentially President Obama’s answer for why he attended a game in Havana Tuesday between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team.

Asked if he considered not attending the game due to the terrorist attacks in Brussels, Mr. Obama told ESPN,...

Obama mocks the murders of our ambassador in Libya by saying it was a video, he mocks the murders in other places by calling them workplace violence, 2017 can’t come too soon.

The press doesn’t get the real purpose of this trip. A leftist’s dream - Spring Break in Cuba.

Only upside is that the Rays are kicking their arse.

ESPN color guy actually just said “The Cuban team does not have much power. All of their power hitters have defected.”

LOL!!

I just saw Obama’s ballpark interview.
He said radislam is not a threat to us...’all they can do is disrupt our day, and try to cause us fear.’

Dude: they will, and have, murdered us!
GET A FREAKIN’ CLUE!!!!

The BIGGEST insult would be

NOT not meeting him at the Airport
NOT not showing him respect

ASK HIM TO THROW OUT THE FIRST PITCH.....

Then when the aide says ‘I didn’t think you would have the guts to do that again’ he would say ‘I didn’t have the guts to not do that again’...(Caine mutiny)

Big O was having a happy...he tried to seem sorta sad, but quickly forgot himself...and just sat there basking in the sun and chuckling about somewhat frivolous things....

At least we can rest assured his sorry ass is safe from ISIS.

People die in terrorist attacks all the time, but how often does one get a chance to be the first president to see a baseball game in Havana in 60 years? </ sarcastic disgust>

I have read from a couple of sources that appear credible that that Godfather scene was based on a real pre-Castro act.

Obama’s Bailout for Communist Dictators

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On December 18, 2014 @ 12:44 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage |

Carter couldn’t save Castro, but Obama did. This was not a prisoner exchange. This was a Communist bailout.
The Soviet Union did not have to fall. If Carter had won a second term and Mondale had succeeded him, the Communist dictatorship might have received the outside help it needed to survive.

And we would still be living under the shadow of the Cold War.

Carter couldn’t save the Soviet Union, but he did his best to save Castro, visiting Fidel and Raul in Cuba where the second worst president in American history described his meeting with Castro as a greeting among “old friends”.
Raul Castro called Carter “the best of all U.S. presidents.”
Obama’s dirty deal with Raul will make the worst president in American history, Castro’s new best friend.

Carter couldn’t save Castro, but Obama did. This was not a prisoner exchange. This was a Communist bailout.

Obama boasted that he would increase the flow of money to Cuba from businesses, from bank accounts and from trade. When he said, “We’re significantly increasing the amount of money that can be sent to Cuba”, that was his real mission statement.

The Castro regime is on its last legs. Its sponsors in Moscow and Caracas are going bankrupt due to failing energy prices. The last hope of the Butcher of Havana was a bailout from Washington D.C.

And that’s exactly what Obama gave him.

Obama has protected the Castros from regime change as if Communist dictators are an endangered species.

The rest of the love affair of Obama for Communists tyrants

Q, WHAT THE HELL ARE THE RAYS DOING IN CUBA?

A, (Sucking up to all the Cubies in TAmpa!)

Wife and I went to one game last year in Tampa, at Tropicana Field just to see what it was like. I will never go again and that franchise doesn't exist as far as I am concerned.
I will now delete them from my e-mail box because I get crap from them every day. SHEESH!

So when peon Americans go to their airport to get sniffed, scanned, groped, scoped, x-rayed, stripped and searched, they’ve beaten terrorism?

This while Obama and the disciples of deceit in D.C. continue to flood the country with Muslims?

These people are mentally ill and very dangerous.

He didn’t bring his golf clubs, so watching a game was the most disrespectful gesture Obama could think of.
