Gloria and Emilio Estefan to host Obama on April 15 at the home in Miami Beach, Florida

The Usurper, El Usurpador ^ | 04/02/2010 | Corazon

[Corazon]

No one can hurt the cause of freedom in Cuba or in America more than they are at this time. America has an Usurper at the white house who is destroying our Republic and because of his actions at present or past will not do anything to rescue the Freedom of Cuba. At least half of Americans people are trying to preserve the Freedom granted by God , the Usurper is celebrating with the Estefan's to help the Democratic Party, the party which in Congress has been proved wants us to be slaves under socialism like in Cuba under Castro.

 Gloria Estefan said in 2007  "

"¡Imagínate! No estoy con Bush, estoy contra la guerra. No soy ni demócrata, ni republicana.
 Los partidos limitan mucho y yo no tengo partido. Es complicado el momento que vivimos allí desde el 11- S. Es la primera vez que nos enfrentábamos al terrorismo y ojalá encontremos la forma de acabar esa guerra."

" Imagine! I am not with Bush, I am against the war. I am neither democratic, nor republican.
 The parties limit much and I do not have party. The moment is complicated that we lived there from the 911. Is the first time that we faced the terrorism and hopefully we find the form to finish that guerra."

On today's Miami Herald

 http://www.miamiherald.com/

Cuban-born singer Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio, will host President Barack Obama at their Miami Beach home April 15  for a Democratic National Committee fundraiser. - 9:16 AM ET

-----------------
I heard on the radio this fundraiser will be $30,000.00 per couple.

The Estefan's organized a rally  last March in favor of the ladies in white,
 on the video the demostration in Miami held more that 250,000 also  the video show the ladies in white in Cuba when they were taking into custody.

And then just less than two weeks later  they invite Obama to their home.

 No one can hurt the cause of freedom in Cuba or in America  more than they are at this time.  America has an Usurper at the white house who is destroying our Republic and because of his actions at present or past will not do anything  to rescue the Freedom of Cuba. At least half of  Americans people  are trying to preserve the  Freedom granted by God , the Usurper is  celebrating with  the  Estefan's  to help the Democratic Party, the party which in Congress has been proved wants us to be slaves under socialism like in Cuba under Castro.

Some of us listened;others were willfully blind.

[gimme1ibertee]

That sucks.I liked her music too.
Little commie wench & hubby are off my listening list from here on out!

[illiac]

Bummer!!! Since zero will be there - I just thru my invitation away! (sarc)

[RC2]

It always amazes me when I see other people from other countries understanding the possible decline of the US when our own people can’t see it. The only difference I see in us and them is that if the American people get their backs up against the wall.......it will get real ugly, real fast.

[Logical me]

Estefan, get the hell out of America. We have no use for communists supporters.

[jessduntno]

Wonder why Bammy doesn’t want to be in DC on the 15th?

LOL Because he doesn’t like dealing with real Americans.

[ocr1]

Unbelievable.

[GladesGuru]

YUM! YUM!

One more place for the Miami TEA PARTY groups to assemble with lots of posters.

Public education coming up!

[DustyMoment]

Too bad. I used to like her music.

[marron]

For the most part first generation Cubans don’t fall for guys like this, their memory of communism stays with them til the day they die. Its not until the third generation that the Democrats start to make deep inroads, because the kids have no memory of anything else.

The Estefans seem like decent people. It surprises me in a way that they would fall for this guy. I’m sorry to hear it. He is Chavez in a suit.

[Slyfox]

Gloria, Gloria!

Obama is just as much a dictator as Castro. He 's just doing it in a less obvious way.

[jazminerose]

Wait a minute. I know I’ve seen Gloria on Fox many times lambasting Castro & the libtards who think he’s so fabulous.

WTF happened here?

She has always been outspokenly anti Castro.

[cricket]

May enlightened Cubams in Miami protest Gloria's Obama event. Has she forgotten why she is here - and not in Cuba? Has she heard the praises from Fidel supporting Obama?

When ignorance meets plain ignorance it is most unfortunate.

[MattinNJ]

IIRC, her dad was a true hero. He fought Castro and then served with distinction against the commies in Viet Nam. Disgusting.

[UnwashedPeasant]

If she loves socialism, why doesn’t she go back to Cuba?

[my_pointy_head_is_sharp]

I'm puzzled.

On the one hand, she is against the Marxist, Fidel Castro.

On the other hand, she supports the Marxist, Barack Hussein Obama.

How can you hold two opposing views?

[Frank_2001]

“If she loves socialism, why doesn’t she go back to Cuba?”

If she loves socialism, she might as well stay here/s

[PGalt]

Sounds like a band is getting together, Miami Socialist’s Machine.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Aw... and I just read here on FR the other day that we should keep people like the Estefans in mind when we believe that some immigrants don’t like America, that they’re proud Americans and we should accept them as such, blah, blah, blah. Utter foolishness.

Looks to me like they are playing with Socialism. How quickly they forgot about Cuba.

[rep-always]

Thanks for posting Corazon. I was so ticked off when I heard this in the news today. As an American of Cuban descent let me be the first to say, they both make me sick.

What an embarrassment that two people that fled communist Cuba would entertain this socialist, communist pig.

I am done with both of them. They were never two of my favorite people but now they make me throw up.

[M. Espinola]

This is sickening. What’s next, will they hold an honour Castro week Little Havana?

[Cacique]

Money and power corrupts, they are by far removed from the experience of the common cubans. Also trhey6 are in the “artistic” crowd that does not realize that socialism does not need art.

[MozarkDawg]

You have GOT to be kidding me -- the same Gloria who tried to tell me how awful it was in Cuba a couple of decades ago when she wanted me to buy her records??!

Apparently Castro wasn't all that horrible, was he Gloria? If you can kowtow to his protegee ...

[Canedawg]

Money and power corrupts

Bingo. She didn’t decide to do this for altruistic reasons, and it’s a shame that she has SOLD OUT.

[La Enchiladita]

Well, we were recently told that Gloria is a registered Republican, but that must have been so long ago. I love her music, but what a big mistake she is making here. Apparently, she and hubby are on the side of Castro now. Shame on you, Gloria.

[mcmuffin]

That sucks.I liked her music too.

She sucks/sucked as a singer.

[gimme1ibertee]

She wasn’t too bad,but I liked the music.

[cherry]

anybody have an email addy?

[longtermmemmory]

The man who has brought slavery back to the USA is invited as a WORSHIPPED GUEST to the house of former slaves of an enslaved nation.

The Estefans are beyond stupid.

Their music is DOA.

[nutmeg]

Disgusting. Another one off my listening list...

GLORIA ESTEFAN

Born in Cuba, raised in Miami Gloria Estefan is at the vanguard of the second generation of the Cuban exile. Like other young exiles she carries the burden of suffering and sacrifice her parents made for freedom.

"My whole family paid a heavy price for freedom. My father not only fought in the Bay of Pigs, he volunteered to fight in Vietnam. He fought for these same freedoms. I watched him die a slow death for 14 years. I was not about to let anyone stomp on those ideals."

Estefan has traveled the world as a Cuban-American musician, and she has been an emissary on behalf of the Cuban Exile. She is its most visible representative, and like the rest of the exile she is very clear about the wrong done to the Cuban people under the Castroite tyranny.

"People don't have a lot of information and when they ask me about it, I tell them about the drama of the exiles, the repression, the firing squads, the horror of communism. I'm very clear about that. I left Cuba when I was two years old. They took away my country, they stole the most intimate thing a human being can have. How could I forget that Fidel Castro was the person who did me so much harm?," said Estefan.

Sometimes, speaking about Cuba is not easy, said Estefan." When they invited me to sing at the Vatican, they asked me what I was going to say," said Estefan. "I told them that I was going to ask the Holy Father for Cuba's freedom. And the Vatican official said, 'Oh no, my daughter, that's political. So I told them that if they didn't let me ask for Cuba's freedom, they would have to get someone else because I wouldn't sing. They gave in and as soon as I grabbed the mike I said it very clearly: Holy Father, do not forget to ask for Cuba's freedom in your prayers."

Character building book about Gloria!

According to Elise Ackerman, "In Cuba, salsa music sung by exiled performers like Willy Chirino or Gloria Estefan is taboo." Their music is not played over Cuban government radio. Additionally, when Gloria Estefan was to sing at the Pan Am games in 1986 the Cuban government was outraged that the Miami Sound Machine had been selected to perform; both Gloria and her husband Emilio Estefan are Cuban exiles. Estefan's music has preserved and expanded upon Cuban musical traditions going back to the 30's and 40's while offering something new for the 1990s. When you listen to songs such as Mi Tierra or Go Away you'll understand why the Cuban government detests her so. She stated that the song "Go Away" was meant for Fidel Castro. A sampling of the lyrics speak for themselves:

Won't you just go away
Go away
Don't you come back one day
Take your stuff
Take all of your precious things
Leave right now
Who knows what tomorrow brings

Stay away
Won't you please stay away
Live your life
But live it real far away
Save yourself
There's no way to get it all
Look around
The writing is on the wall

Nearly ten years later in 1995 Cuban-born celebrities Gloria Estefan and Andy Garcia returned to Cuba to serenade some 16,000 Cuban refugees held at the U.S. military base at Guantanamo Bay. In 1997, Gloria Estefan appeared on CNN defending the Embargo as a moral imperative, and once again exposed the regime in Cuba for what it is: a brutal tyranny. Towards the end of 1997 she spoke out in defense of free speech. She was attacked from some quarters, but defended by many more. In 1998 she released Gloria! with a rousing song calling for Cuban freedom in the track Cuba Libre. She has demonstrated that in Miami freedom of speech and tolerance do exist, and for that she serves the memory of her father and of the historical exile well.

[ETL]

"The Cuban singer and her husband Emilio invited Obama to host the Democratic National Committee event at her Miami Beach home on Thursday (Apr 15, 2010), sparking fury along Cuban-American locals who support the rival Republican Party.

Estefan insists she is "not affiliated" with any political party and used the evening to speak with Obama about issues important to the Cuban community.

Guess they kinda forgot about Fidel. When you are filthy rich and a liberal, you don’t mind dictators so much.
