Trump tweets Castro is 'dead!;' Obama says 'history' will be ex-dictator's final 'judge'

President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday that the death of Cuba’s Fidel Castro “marks the passing of brutal dictator,” while President Obama argued that ‘history’ will be Castro’s final ‘judge.’

“Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights,” said Trump, who also expressed optimism about Castro’s death finally ending decades of communist oppression for Cubans.

"It is my hope that today marks a move away from the horrors endured for too long and toward a future in which the wonderful Cuban people finally live in the freedom they so richly deserve,” Trump said. “Our administration will do all it can to ensure the Cuban people can finally begin their journey toward prosperity and liberty.”

Obama: ““We extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people,” Obama said. “History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him. … For nearly six decades, the relationship between the United States and Cuba was marked by discord and profound political disagreements.

“During my presidency, we have worked hard to put the past behind us. … This engagement includes the contributions of Cuban Americans, who have done so much for our country and who care deeply about their loved ones in Cuba.”

See? I told you his statement is way harder to write. Tap dancing between trying to please the global communist bosses AND trying to pretend he is not doing exactly that always meant statements took a lot of rewriting, sweating, editing. We will be getting the president’s statements a lot faster from now on. The truth is so much easier to write!

Gee,and all this time I thought Obola was a Christian.I,unlike many,have been saying since the start that despite thinking of him as a closet moslem has a certain logic,if you look closely and pay attention you'll see that he is,in fact,an atheist.An atheist who knows that it's politically smart to pretend to be a Christian.

Not as far as I know.

But then, I'm not privy to whatever pillow talk they may have engaged in.

Obama you moronic Libtard, we don’t need to wait for amorphous “history” to judge Castro. WE know he was a vicious leftist dictator oppressing his millions of humans for decades. Only soft-headed leftists need to vacillate about what Fidel represents.

Has anybody asked Sean Penn his feelings concerning this most tragic event?

Once again Trump gets it right. I have Cubano Compadres who lost people to the Communist Cubans. So many executions—they duct tapes their mouths so they couldn’t scream ‘Cuba Libre’ with their last breath. Someday “El Moro” in Habana will be a museum for all those murdered by Castro and his goons.

” judged by history” Means nothing more then being judged by the values of those in society in the future.
