Rally Held In Little Havana Demands Cuban “Libertad”
CBS Miami ^ | March 20, 2016

As President Barack Obama boarded Air Force One for Cuba Sunday, crowds marched in Miami’s Little Havana against the presidential visit to the communist nation.

Demonstrators rallied on S.W. 8th Street and 13th Avenue chanting, “Libertad!”

Florida Lt. Governor Carlos Lopez-Cantera was at the march. A first generation Cuban-American running for U.S. Senate, Lopez-Cantera said the president’s visit to Cuba is a photo-op that the Castro regime set up to legitimize themselves — and, since easing U.S.-Cuba relations more than a year ago, nothing has changed.

“There hasn’t been any reduction of oppression,” Lopez-Cantera told CBS4’s Donna Rapado. “As as matter of fact, there’s been an increase in oppression, an increase in political arrests and an increase of political beatings against people who are simply seeking to have rights that we take for granted here in America. Freedom of expression, freedom of the press, free elections, the end of human rights violations and the release of political prisoners.”

In fact, just before Obama’s arrival, more than 50 demonstrators were arrested in the streets of Havana. They are “Las Damas de Blanco” — the Ladies in White. They are the wives and relatives of jailed anti-Castro activists who march to Mass each Sunday, as they have for nearly four years.

Notice the lack respect our president received? Castro wasn’t at the airport to greet him on his arrival. I guess we know who the alfa is here.

Will MSM cover this event as much as Trump’s opposition?
Will MSM cover anything about Hillary breaking the law?
They are too busy covering Trump opposition on Fox to cover Obama opposition. That is why more and more people are turning Fox off too.

I read articles about Obama’s vacation...I mean VISIT to Cuba. Did you know the protesters were kept back up to TWO miles away from him at all times? They were beaten, dragged away, and some jailed?

Based on what the liberals say regarding Trump being the cause for disorder, only Obama can be the cause for the pain felt in Cuba right now, correct?
