The Patriot Post® · Obama Is Rewarding a Brutal Regime

Ken Blackwell & Bob Morrison: “We have had Presidents of both parties maintaining a policy of unusual consistency toward the captive island nation of Cuba for more than half a century. Eisenhower, Nixon, Ford, Reagan, Bush and Bush for the Republicans. But there was little difference when the Oval Office was occupied by Democrats JFK, LBJ, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. It’s most curious that with that bi-partisan consensus of ten U.S. Presidents, it never occurred to any of them: Why not just surrender to Cuba? Why not simply run up the white flag? That is what [Obama’s] policy is. … We’ve heard of a ‘war on women.’ Would the Obama administration care to read what a distinguished woman – even a longtime friend of Fidel Castro, Dr. Martha Frayde – experienced in one of his prisons? ‘My cell was six meters by five. There were twenty-two of us sleeping there in bunk beds of two or three layers. The basins we had to wash in were filthy, sometimes it was impossible to wash at all. [Unable to empty the toilets] a layer of excrement formed, invading our cells.. We managed to sweep away some of [it] with the pressure hoses, but there still wasn’t enough water, and we had to live with this vile layer for another few days.’ This is the regime that Mr. Obama is now rewarding.”
