    Out of context? It's a direct quote from Odumbo ... what's your IQ? 60?

    "There's no black male my age, who's a professional, who hasn't come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn't hand them their car keys," Obama told People magazine in an interview out Wednesday.

    This Cuba thingy is largely symbolic, an effort by Obama to look like he's actually doing something. The Executive branch can place diplomats but we've had lots of diplomats in Cuba since 1962, they are just called something else. The rest of whatever gets done is up to the Legislative branch.

    Marxists will tell us that Cuba is poor because of the embargo. Cuba can trade freely with lots of other countries though and they still drive those shitty cars they have. It's because marxism destroys incentive and destroys economies. Truths like that would be quite self-evident if we didn't have so many people waving their arms to distract us from them.

    Just yet another lie from Mr. Dictator ... just like "if you like your insurance you can keep it" or "if you like your doctor you can keep them" ... the man has trouble being honest and truthful. Now he pushes racism when he in fact shows himself to be a racist by his idiotic comment to People.

  4. I have yet to go to a restaurant where the valets dressed like "professionals." They always wear a vest or jacket identifying them as valets. Anyway, the story doesn't make sense. You don't hand the valet your keys. He already has the keys. You hand him the ticket.

    Like Hillary running across the tarmac under gunfire in bosnia, it sounds great but is a total lie.

  6. No. Obama want to start the end of the embargo. This embargo is more than you know. This embargo only allow cash trade with the USA. This embargo punish other countries to do business with Cuba nationals outside of the Cuba. So like poster Ricter say, this effort from Obama to end this embargo will help the Cuban people evolve.

    New York Tabloids React To U.S.-Cuba Deal With Cigar-Centric Front Pages


    Cigars figured prominently in Thursday's New York tabloid covers.

    Following news that the U.S. would begin to reestablish diplomatic relations with Cuba, the New York Post pictured President Barack Obama dressed like former Cuban President Fidel Castro, grinning with his teeth clenched around a fat cigar (a newly-legal Cohiba, perhaps?), next to the words "America Smokes a Cuban."

    White House Does Not Dismiss Idea Of Castro Visit


    WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - The White House does not dismiss the possibility of an eventual, precedent-shattering visit to Washington by Cuban President Raul Castro as part of President Barack Obama's plans to normalize relations with Havana.

    "I wouldn't rule out a visit from President Castro," White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters on Thursday, a day after the two governments announced they would restore ties and open embassies after half a century of hostility.

    U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Roberta Jacobson, who is expected to visit Cuba in January, said renewed relations were not directly tied to progress on human rights in Cuba.

    "The president has had the leaders of both Burma and China to the United States," he said. By meeting such leaders, the United States can better influence countries to better respect universal human rights, he said.

    Republicans and some Democrats vowed to fight Obama's efforts to expand commercial ties with the communist-led island. Earnest shrugged off the threat that Congress would block the president.

    "The steps that the president announced are steps that are well within his executive authority," he said, and the White House was "not particularly" worried they could be stopped.

    Most legal experts have said the president has broad executive powers to ease restrictions on commerce, transportation and banking with Havana, even if Congress objects.

  9. I'll ask again ......... What is the rest of the sentence? Newsflash numbskull......sentences don't end with a comma. Notice the comma? Without the rest of the sentence it means nothing.

    Typical righty psuedo-fact but good enough for them.

  10. Yes, it is a lie. The righties are lying here, again. The comment is unvetted. That means not thoroughly examined. But that's good enough for the hysterical right wing nutjobs to reach some hysterical conclusion.
