Can this be true? Can President Obama have apologized for raul castro because he spoke to him for 15 minutes….and then listened to a 30 minute lecture from castro?
According to Mike Warren at weeklystandard.com:
Obamabegan the phone call with Castro with what he described as 15 minutesof opening comments. It was the first conversation between the headsof state in both countries since 1961.
“Iapologized for taking such a long time,” Obama said. Castroresponded by reminding Obama that the American president was stillyoung enough to beat Castro\’s brother, former Cuban president andrevolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who once gave a 7-hour-longspeech.
Accordingto the president, Raul Castro proceeded to speak to Obamauninterrupted for 30 minutes.
What a great story. What a strong leader Obama castro comes across as being.
In his 15 minutes….apart from the apology for speaking so long, of course….did Mr. Obama make any demands of castro\’s Cuba before agreeing to proceed with normalization? Like, for example, specific, significant expansion of freedom for the Cuban people? Or the immediate turning over of convicted cop-killer joanne chesimard, who has been a guest of the castros for 35 years? Anything at all?
And, if so, did he bother to mention it to congress? You know, that co-equal branch of government he has decided to ignore as if it, and the constitution, do not exist?
Is there a murderous, repressive dictator on planet earth that President Obama does not offer submissive deference to? Gifts in return for nothing of any substance?
And is there a murderous, repressive dictator on planet earth who does not join with our allies in seeing Barack Obama as a weak, incompetent, inept pushover they can alternatively laugh at and exploit?
