Cuban state media goes after our first black president

By Silvio Canto, Jr.
 

President Teddy Roosevelt once told a campaign audience that weakness invites contempt.   Let's just say that those words apply to our new friend Raúl Castro, who keeps going out of his way to show the world that it was President Obama, not he, who really wanted to do the wave at the baseball game.

First, Raúl Castro skipped President Obama's arrival. We heard all week that it was the first presidential visit to Cuba since President Coolidge. Historic? I guess that Raúl didn't get the memo or doesn't care about history.

Second, Raúl Castro watched the president of the U.S. praise his education and health care system. Incredibly, President Obama read the the regime's talking points from A to Z. What was the point of President Obama doing this?

Third, Fidel Castro jumped into the act and wrote an op-ed in the state media blasting President Obama. Let's call that column "Don't meddle in Cuba, or I will shoot one of those Soviet missiles against your plane as I did in the missile crisis!"

Finally, the state-run media (La Tribuna de la Habana) hit one right over the Rays' center field head with an attack on President Obama that would have a lot of Democrats screaming "racista"......

My Take - So what's going on here?  Well, I think it's clear Fidel knows what a circus looks like when it comes to town and he knows a clown when he sees one - and treats them both accordingly.  I guess I have to re-evaluate Fidel's intelligence after all.  He's a whole lot smarter than a huge number of Americans who thought Barry was "the one"......and voted for him..... twice.  Including his biggest voting constituency - those in the grave yards who didn't need I.D. cards. 

Oh, one more thing.  How many world leaders actually have any respect for this clown at all?  How many of these people just thought it was just grand he received the Nobel Peace Prize for - well - just being elected!  How many are embarrassed by that?  How many members of the Nobel Peace Prize committee who voted for him now feel like blithering idiots?  Probably none of them - which clearly puts them out of step with just about every person in the world except the race mongers on the American left, and all the other blithering idiots of the world who trumpeted this embarrassment as "historic".  Well they were right.  No other President of the United States ever looked so stupid or so ridiculous- including Jimmy Carter.
