Obama ripped by Fidel Castro in the news
Castro is still spinning the story of selfless Cuban exploits in other parts of the world, when in reality he was required to send a supporting cast of mercenaries to places like Angola to appease his financier and master Russia. But he is not above recreating history to cast his meager accomplishments in a positive light. In that respect, we see that Obama is doing the same thing, and we can expect years of claims from Obama that his presidency was good for the U.S. and good for her people. Nothing could be further from the truth. But Castro blasted Obama for phony history, and he is correct in many respects.
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” [Brother Obama].
“Native populations do not exist at all in the mind of Obama,” Castro wrote. “Nor does he say that racial discrimination was swept away by the Revolution; that retirement and salary of all Cubans were enacted by this before Mr. Barack Obama was 10 years old.”
Referring to the 1961 failed invasion of the Bay of Pigs, Castro wrote of the U.S.’ “mercenary force with cannons and armored infantry, equipped with aircraft … trained and accompanied by warships and aircraft carriers in the U.S. raiding our country. Nothing can justify this premeditated attack that cost our country hundreds of killed and wounded.”
“My modest suggestion is to reflect and do not try now to develop theories about Cuban politics.”
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.”
Castro still spins the idea of a workers paradise in Cuba, absent of racial discrimination and with equality for all. The reality is Castro ushered in crushing poverty and despotic control and oppression. Obama tried to “make nice” with Cuban history and the relationship between Cuba and the U.S., and for this Castro has nothing but disdain for him. Both Castro and Obama have done tremendous damage to their respective countries, and one might say that they are coequals in their ability to destroy and then to claim success and victory.
In this case, Obama tried to invent history, and Castro called him out on it. The President needs to stay home and keep quiet so that he does the least amount of damage possible. That, as we know, is not likely to happen.

Fidel said Obama is not respected as a world leader and he is despised by world leaders esp. Putin and said also he cannot make a decision or lead a girl scout troop.
AND O-BUTT-MA IS A WANNA-BE……..
A thug lecturing a thug, it fits well. Two thugs enjoying tropical climate while citizens of their countries are struggling to make ends meet.
Really? Obama is gone guys. All the excuses are gone too. Both Houses of Congress are now Republican, Supreme Court Republican control for last 8 years, next President Republican guaranteeing a super majority (7 out of 9 Supreme Court Justices, first time in history). No more liberals to blame. How are they going to explain to the American People why Roe vs Wade is not reversed, IRS is not closed, no passage of “flat” tax, & no repeal of Obama Care etc. It will be entertaining. The dog just caught the car.
