Commies will never face facts because they always find someone else to blame (the US embargo, the flight of refugees, etc). Kinda like O and his inability to take responsibility for any bloody thing.
I was always amused by the argument that Cuba was poor because the evil, capitalist U.S. wouldn’t trade with Cuba. You would think that would be one of last things commies would argue... that they were poor because a capitalist country wouldn’t trade with them. And even so, every other country in the world was free to trade with them. The commies and their fellow travelers in the west just couldn’t stand the truth...Cuba was poor because Cuba was communist.
