Anyone ever wonder why, if Cuba is such a worker’s paradise, why over the years Cubans who have the opportunity have defected from Cuba???? What does Michael Moore think???

Of course he’ll send them back. Much better instead to take on Criminaliens. These Cuban rowers are too risky... they’ll probably vote the wrong way.

Elian Gonzalez has turned into a true believer communist.
Castro prides himself on that.

Since they are rowers, they shouldn’t have any problem reaching the Keys from Cuba. Since Obama sucked up to Castro, will escaping Cubans still be allowed to stay here?

15 years of brainwashing a kid, starting at the age of 5, and Castro is proud he became a true believer communist? Send me a 5 year-old Cuban and in 15 years I'll have him singing the Star Spangled Banner, quoting Ronald Reagan and idolizing Rush Limbaugh.

Must be really bad for Cuban refugees to come to Obama-Land.

Why on earth would they want to leave Cuba now that obozo is going to make everything better for them there?

Hope they park themselves on the WH lawn!

I have been to Pan American games before and witnessed Cuban athlete in the village and competing. They are never alone. There is always a government handler with them, usually dressed in an athletic suit so as to blend in. The story goes that at one Pan Am game, different venue, several cyclists got away because their keeper couldn’t stay up with them and they just cycled away to join a CIA team awaiting them out in the boonies.

Jeez, I thought if there was a Cuban that could row, they would already be here.

Unless you send them to a public school here and they’ll be even more brainwashed in Communism than in Cuba.
