    And the hits keep on coming.....and more embarrassment for BO peep. He's not having a good week, huh? What say ye?



    Well, so much for the "normalized" and new relationship with Cuba.

    Less than a week after President Obama visited the communist island and pow-wowed with dictator Raul Castro at a baseball game, Fidel Castro has published a scathing letter slamming the United States and mocking Obama in the regime's state run newspaper. From POLITICO:

    Castro ripped into the president and his words during the visit in El Granma, the official state newspaper of the Cuban Communist Party, bringing up Obama's relative youth, the failed Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961 and the role of both countries in ending the apartheid in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent in an article titled "El hermano Obama."

    Cuba "has no need of gifts" from the United States, Castro concluded. "Our efforts will be legal and peaceful, because it is our commitment to peace and brotherhood of all human beings living on this planet." ....snip~

    probably was never given a chance, for Obama would have loved to come, bow and hug Fidel. So upset is Obama, not Fidel :)

    Whats funny is. Not only did the Peep get Humiliated with his Visit to Argentina. But now he gets embarrassed by a washed up and watered down Dictator.

    BO should accept his new role as the New Rodney Dangerfield.....as he won't be getting any respect.

    Awww you just don't like.....that there are people out here that will treat your BO Peep like he deserves to be treated. And will take pleasure in Humiliating that mope.....Right in front of your face knowing there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Except take it all in.

    But then I doubt you can figure out that part about why he is a such a wuss and how you identify with that.

    First, the article's from some yellowish far-right e-rag made to exacerbate the choir. You know what does such sources do to credibility? I sometimes edit stuff at Wikipedia, and let me tell you such sources would have make you laughed out of any article. Be more demanding of yourself. Just saying.

    Second, what so offensive in this clip? Now keep in mind that the paper did try to extract what would shock you most - and yet I don't see what's so shocking in there. Such a nationalist discourse would have been applauded by US nationalists if it was uttered by their own leaders - and it was indeed, many times.

    And finally - Obama was in Cuba while Brussels happened. Bush, for his part, was struggling to understand "My Pet Goat" while 9-11 happened. Conclusion? As hard it is to believe, no Presidency comes with the superpower or foresight. But yet there is hope; You guys may have much more to win with amicable Cuban relations than with the comprehension of "My Pet Goat".

    Fidel wrote the article, not Obama.

    Link says Politico is the Source reporting on Fidel coming up with the Hit Piece. So attempting to whine and cry about Right Wing sources.....won't work here.

    What shocked me again? You must be confused to think I would be shocked that Fidel.....would do some (*)(*)(*)(*) talking with someone that Fidel thinks is weak. I mean if there would be any sort of surprise.....it would be that Fidel actually used pen and paper to put his thoughts down for others to read.

    Ah yes.....run back to Bush Jr and 911. That will explain why BO peep was taking it from all sides. With his party events. :roll:

    Fidel suddenly has credibility does he? You are going to take the word of a ranting despot in determining the quality of US leadership? Fidel criticizes Obama, as he has criticized every US President and you think that has merit? Have you no pride whatsoever in your country?

    Politico isn't much better. Elevate your standards, for crying out loud - that's your brain you are doping, right there.

    No, he didn't. He said that he was young, and he talked about US medlings in the past, and nothing about the latest meetings, if in terms you guys seem hardly able to stomach these days. Jesus Christ we hear this form of discourse every single day from american conservatives, the common point being popular nationalism, and I don't see you guys up in arms about it. Probably because of your obvious double standards.

    You are being childish strictly to keep the choir entertained. What's good for Peter's good for Paul, that's all.

    You must not have read what I said about being shocked by Castro. Some think this is shocking news. And it's even not so much of what Castro has to say.

    Its more of BO being viewed as out of touch. By all sides.

    Hey, its breaking news when BO peeps approval ratings drop a little after being hailed for being up there. They do have to try and keep it honest like.

    This doesn't change the fact that he dumped on BO peep.

    Well you got that part Right about Peter and Paul. So now you know why the leftness gets treated the way they do. They should think first before opening their mouths.

    The only childish part was that bit going back to Bush Jr and 911.....when Junior doesn't have anything to do with BO peeps own actions.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Nah, if I was Russian you would have already been hit with the brick I thru the wall. Just sayin.

    He isn't president of Cuba any longer and hasn't been since 2008. He's only a civilian and a geriatric close to death, so Obama had no need to meet him on a diplomatic level.

    And even the ancient Fidel in his advanced state of decay was able to articulate a direct unambiguous public statement. Our young President must be filed with envy.
