1. wow - we'll see how this goes - but the bilingual portion being re-translated back was fun

Very interesting video - how much are the Wingnuts vibrating in their angry-pants today! hahahahaha

3. It was like CNN not letting us listen in Spanish!

Talk about strange language towards Cuba.

After 50 years of condescension, we have these condescending points to make to suck up to our wingnuts, ....

It is good to see how Obama has become a beacon for "human rights"
relative to Cuba wandering in the dark somewhere, IF this means
Obama will be prosecuting human rights violations by the USA.

2. Republican corporatist (Wal-Mart, et al) certainly love the cheap labor & non tax of Communist China

But they'll bitch about Cuba because they can't exploit it the same as they do Communist China allowing American corporations to seek and reap huge profits, job outsourcing for slave labor as well as helping avoid American taxes, while gobbling up China's cheap products & goods and zero concerns for China's continuing polluting of the environment.

Cuba would NEVER allow that under the current regime the past fifty years plus years, that Fidel Castro presided over for almost 49 of those years!!

4. actually, he would never allow it,.. he would want everything

for himself and his brother...

7. Not True at all. In Cuba they have a true democracy over local affairs, unlike in the states.

I have talked with Cubans. There are problems with Cuba, but if you were to compare per-capita rates of imprisonment between the US and Cuba:http://corporatism.tripod.com/world.htm#list

In 1999:

US had 742 per 100,000

Cuba had 487 per 100,000

Cuba has universal health care, food for everyone, and a job for everyone. Fidel and Raul are not evil despots. They do not live high on the hog. Cuba is a poor nation, and they have fought anti-colonialism around the world, and have helped many people around the world. Our nation has evilly killed many millions of innocent people. That cannot be said of Cuba. Our nation has poison in our foods. That cannot be said of Cuba. Cuba is not perfect, and there is oppression if one happens to be an American Spy! Our nation has acted horribly around the world. Is this not the truth?

5. I'm going to set my egg timer..........

....to see how long it takes before that tin foil hat nut job, Glenn Beck, spins this as proof that Obama is a Communist.:crazy:

6. K & R!

8. This is wonderful for the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren

of those who escaped from Cuba. It is wonderful for those who left Cuba to come here and for those who stayed in Cuba. Good decision, President Obama.
