Are any of these in front of buildings where dissidents are imprisoned? Are any of these in front of pictures of people who begged to have america nuked?
If you look at the pics of bush they are just hanging out. Reagan is giving a speech and anyone would give a speech there.
Everyone hates Nixon. I don't think any republicans are coming to defend him on china.
As far as handshaking, yes you meet leaders from countries you hate. No doubt. This is not bad.
Look at the Obama picture, they were positioned to make a nice propaganda photo for Castro.
Castro locked up cubans who dissented just for Obama's visit.
Also, no one is saying that republicans did nothing embarrassing. The thing is, I am worried about now not 30 years ago. You should do the same.
Now, here is why Obama going to cuba was so horrible. Make sure you do the same for the pics you posted. There was more to it than just photographs....you do know this? sure you do
Here are five reasons Obama’s trip to Cuba is one of the worst acts of his presidency.
Imprisonment Of Dissidents. Just before Obama’s arrival, the Cuban government started rounding up those who disagree with the regime. According to
The New York Times:
[H]ours before
Air Force One landed at José Martí International Airport, the challenges inherent in normalizing relations with a Communist police state were laid bare, as dozens of arrests were made at the weekly march of Ladies in White, a prominent dissident group…the arrests confirmed that Cuba was maintaining its long history of repressive tactics, if not intensifying their reach….The baseball game where Mr. Obama will watch Cuba’s national team play the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday is an invitation-only event, with most seats going to government loyalists. Some of the Old Havana shops near where Mr. Obama strolled on Sunday evening had been ordered to stay closed. The police have been sweeping up prostitutes from nightclubs and beggars from the streets….No matter what Mr. Obama says about freedom during his three-day stay, the Cuban government has made it clear that Cubans of all ideologies will be expected to behave.
Re-Enshrinement Of The Castros. Raul Castro couldn’t be happier about any of this. The American media, seeking to defend the honor of their beloved Obama, have fallen in love with the Castros all over again. ESPN,
for example, tweeted, “Savior and scourge, Fidel Castro was many things to many people. One thing all can agree on: He loved his sports.”
Fidel a savoir???? lol, who did he save?
Humiliation Of America. The Cuban government has for generations pushed the narrative that the United States is a brutal colonial power hell-bent on world domination. Now they’ve got pictures of the President of the United States visiting all their favorite memorials and standing in front of buildings emblazoned with murals of Marxist murderer Che Guevara.
Obama’s about to get the same treatment in Cuba. Upon touching down in Cuba, Cuban dictator Raul Castro didn’t even show up to greet him. He did for former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. That’s no coincidence. That’s how propaganda works. Now Cubans will be treated to the spectacle of an American president kowtowing to a communist dictator.
Pretend Changes. Obama has pledged “change.” For example, said Obama, Google will be making a deal with the Cuban government to expand Cuba’s wifi. Well, no. Cuba restricts internet access to prevent people in Cuba from reading outside information that would debunk their propaganda. But Obama’s appearance in Cuba gives the Cuban government propaganda to suggest that Cubans are free.
Romanticization Of Poverty. The left constantly romanticizes poverty. But they’ll kick it into high gear with Obama in Cuba. Two days ago,
The New York Times described the impoverished citizenry this way: “Cuba at times can feel like a nation abandoned. The aching disrepair of its cities, the untamed foliage of its countryside, the orphaned coastlines – a half-century of isolation has wrapped the country in decay. Yet few places in the world brim with as much life as Cuba, a contrast drawn sharper amid its faded grandeur.”
People living in abject poverty, their access to basic information restricted, their speech shut down – those people ought not be patronized with idiot myths about the glory of poverty.
waiting for your rebuttal. I am sure it will not be as bad as just leaving some stupid pics. Lol. pathetic
