- Obama tells Cuba there is hope for us yet . . . with change
- Our morally and historically obtuse president
Thomas Jefferson and Che Guevara…two of a kind?
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. . . .
Yep, one revolution, one “democracy” is as good as another, and Cuba has elections.
Just one thing Mr President, we are a constitutional republic, not a democracy. Our founders knew the difference, do you?
Obama posing under mural of Che Guevara . . . what’s the big deal? Pope Francis said Mass under it! Oh, and at right oblique, isn’t that Iowa’s own former governor Vilsack sporting the same self-satisfied, “we have arrived” demeanor? Terry Branstad must be jealous, wishing he were there to talk expanding ethanol mandates on the Cuban people.
Two more of a kind, or at least a wannabe and his inspiration.
Another photo for his library, chronicling our president’s (he’s the one in the white shirt) proud tenure. This shot will look good along with his ‘selfies’ and his appearances with such intellectual equals of his, like GloZell.
It is impossible to imagine Trump, or anyone else besides a Clinton/Sanders could be as bad, as morally and historically obtuse, as this guy. How bad? . . . a free America may not survive the next 10 months of Obama’s ‘Audacious Executive Action.’ Remembering this article from National Review:
Obama’s Chief of Staff Promises ‘Audacious Executive Action’ in Final Year
“Process is your friend, but process also dictates what you can do,” McDonough said. “And we do want to make sure that the executive actions we undertake are not left hanging out there, subject to Congress undoing them.” In addition to gun control, the White House has expressed interest in further unilateral actions on immigration reform, and in working around Congress to close the prison in Guantanamo Bay. But McDonough said the White House is considering executive action on any and all issues, and that the main question President Obama plans to ask himself is “Why not?”
