President Obama continues to embrace low-tier, go-it-alone executive actions to pad the last two years of his mistake-filled, empty-agenda presidency in a hopeless hunt for a legacy.
His arrogant decision this week to re-establish diplomatic relations with communist Cuba is the latest example of a president desperately searching for something do without having to deal with Congress.
You can comb through all of the polling data for the top concerns of the American people, and renewing U.S. relations with Cuba's evil Castro dictatorship is not among them.
With his job approval ratings in the basement and his political party toppled from power on Capitol Hill, Mr. Obama is frantically looking for anything to turn around his failed presidency. So he went on nationwide television Wednesday to announce his latest diplomatic gambit, to remind us that he's still president.
National television? For a shameful giveaway deal with an aging tin-pot dictator in the Caribbean who got almost everything he demanded and conceded nothing in return?
Maybe someone in the White House suggested that this would be compared to Nixon's opening to China. It wasn't.
His actions drew fierce bipartisan criticism from Capitol Hill for making deep unilateral concessions without getting much in return. It also stoked the political fires in Florida, a pivotal electoral prize in presidential elections, where Cubans account for a large share of the vote and remain strongly opposed to relaxing relations with Raul Castro and his revolutionary henchmen.

The absolutely-undocumented Obama
did NOT sell out criminals, ISIS, Cuba, any Moslem,
N. Korea, Iran, or illegal immigrants.
We are going to be getting these things in rapid succession for the next two years. We will surely “normalize” with Iran adn perhaps give them help with their science and technology projects. Then we have to “normalize” with North Korea and bring NK into the family of nations. We can then outsource to NK the printing of our hundred dollar bills since NK already has the finest $100 bill printing presses in the world. I think we will see Sharia being instituted as the exclusive law for Moslems in America to be used within the Moslem community and for inter ethnic disputes involving Mohammedans. Persians and North Koreans and Cuban criminals and Communists will be given free access to America and immigration controls will be dropped altogether except for dangerous people like businessmen and Jews.
This thing with Cuba is said to get the FBI, it’s first ‘Most Wanted Woman’extradited to USA...the ‘Black Liberation Killer from NJ, who sought asslym in Cuba in 70s....
Do you think Obama will pardon her?
That ‘Black Liberation Religion’ is the basis of his Pastor Jeremiah Wright’s faith. It’s the justification for those who want whites killed.....
The cop killer protesters, who want white cops dead are mostly the black baby Jesus ‘Black Liberation’ groups, if they identified with any faith at all.
Behind Obama’s unconditional surrender to the Castro’s brothers, is the plot to make the American taxpayers liable for whatever the American companies sell to Cuba. The end of the embargo is their goal. "Because of something called the Export-Import Bank there's no risk whatsoever in exporting to bankrupt, murderous and kleptocratic regimes- worse there' no incentive for the kleptocrats to clean up their act, as would happen under a genuine free-market. Also the World, financed 80% by the American taxpayers will open their vaults to be freely looted by the Castro brothers."
Castro helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union, Obama before leaving want to complete the destruction of United States. In the commercial and political relations of the Cuban regime and the U.S. there are several priorities to be concerned with.
1st. Cuba has defaulted in all his international financial deals and Castro encourages other Third World nations to follow his example. Why are we going to sell to someone without the expectation to ever be pay. The American taxpayers should be aware that they are the targets of the scam by which the multinationals sell to Castro whatever he needs and we, the taxpayers, end footing the bill. Castro for 42 years has been with commercial ties with over 150 nations. Now when he has exhausted the patience of nations fool enough to have given him credit, Castro’s puppets in the media, the congress in cahoots with some greedy commercial circles are trying that the American taxpayers shoulder the heavy burden of subsidizing his regime to the tune of 9 billions dollars.
2nd. The American companies cannot made business legally with Cuba without violating several American laws.
A.- Trading with the Enemy Act.
B.- U.S. Commercial Embargo Against Cuba.
C.- Helms- Burton Law.
D.- Involvement in bribes in commercial dealings with another nation.
E.- Involvement in slave labor of foreign workers in connivance with the local authorities.
3rd. Cuba is, and has been a terrorist state for 54 years, and counts with advanced chemical, biological and cyber warfare capabilities aimed against our country. The cooperation between the Cuban regime with Iraq and Iran in the chemical and biological research is well known. A few months before the September 11 attack Castro affirmed at the University of Tehran that their cooperation would put the U.S. down to its knees. Castro once tried to nuke our cities and he has the means and the will to fulfill his dream of destroying our country. If we are involved in a worldwide war against terrorism, Cuba at 90 miles from our coasts should be a prime target in that war; so, those involved in appeasement policies towards Castro and in the promotion of the lifting of the commercial embargo against Cuba are in fact aiding and abetting our worst enemy.
The British intelligence recently made public the relationship between Castro and the terrorist guerrillas of Colombia, IRA, and Chilean terrorists. The socialist administration in Chile has expressed their deepest concern to Castro. The Cuban dictator, as usual, disregarded Chile's official inquiry into the matter and denied that any of those Chilean terrorists had ever been in Cuba, although there are phone calls that were intercepted between them while in Cuba and their relatives in Chile.
We have to wonder why Obama unconditionally surrendered to the Cuban Communist thugs endangering the security of the U.S.?
Not that anybody in Media cares, these days. Although Henry Kissinger has a noose waiting for him, for his role in warning and encouraging Pinochet and the Chilean colonels.
