Cuba's Raul Castro Sets The Trap For Obama

Call me crazy but I wouldn't trust a communist thug such as Raul Castro (and even more so, his fleabag brother) as far as I could throw his old body. And it's my view that today's big, earth-shattering announcement by the communist dictator of Cuba, that has all of the leftist media in the U.S. salivating and wetting their big boy pants, is nothing but a ploy - it's a set up, it's a stage set to prove just how weak and inexperienced Barack Obama actually is. Here's my contention: Raul Castro has NO intention whatsoever of reviewing ANY of the practices of his thuglike regime in Cuba ... he simply wants to see just what the new American administration will give away in some sort of Let's Make A Deal round table. Here's some of the crap that Castro spewed today that all of the naive Left is eating up by the shovel full, from the story at CNN:

The Cuban government, long the object of a U.S. economic blockade, is prepared to meet with the Obama administration, Cuba's leader said.

"We've told the North American government, in private and in public, that we are prepared, wherever they want, to discuss everything -- human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners -- everything, everything, everything that they want to discuss," Cuban President Raúl Castro said Thursday at a summit of leftist Latin American leaders in Venezuela.
The response came days after President Obama lifted all restrictions on the ability of American citizens to visit relatives in Cuba as well as to send them remittances.

Okay, did you see what I highlighted there in that quote? This piece of shit, Castro, WON'T EVEN REFER TO OUR COUNTRY AS THE UNITED STATES or AMERICA! "North American government" - holy shit people, if that doesn't send the signal that this guy is as defiant as he was 20 years ago, what does?

Here's more, this time from Obama:

"And if there is some sense of movement on those fronts in Cuba, then I think we can see a further thawing of relations and further changes."

Now, how milk toast can you get with that statement?!! That is Obama's requirements of Cuba? ...."some sense of movement" ???!!! What the fuck IS that? Apparently this is like some sense of movement by veterans and conservatives in America that required Obama's Homeland Security department to call them "extremists" and issue a warning about them.

So, here we have a communist dictator who says he's willing to sit down and talk and instead of the Obama administration qualifying any negotiations with what would be required, it's all some sort of a fluff-go-round and will more than likely entail the U.S. embarrassing themselves by sitting down with this common criminal, giving him want he wants and getting NOTHING in return. You watch folks...this will turn out to be a media frenzy if these meetings take place and the U.S. will end up lifting major sanctions on Cuba and the Cubans will get off with some sort of "promise to move towards more human rights for Cubans"...and the MSNBC's and the CNN's of the world will announce to the world that Obama is the Maker of Peace in this world! The Cubans won't make one change in their operating methods and will receive what they wanted out of the whole deal - it's a negotiation that is set up for failure for the U.S. because we have a freshman President who has his head in the clouds and his ass in the air.

Raúl Castro: Cuba ready 'to discuss everything' with U.S.

"We've told the North American government, in private and in public, that we are prepared, wherever they want, to discuss everything -- human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners -- everything, everything, everything that they want to discuss," Cuban President Raúl Castro said Thursday at a summit of leftist Latin American leaders in Venezuela.
The response came days after President Obama lifted all restrictions on the ability of American citizens to visit relatives in Cuba as well as to send them remittances. Travel restrictions for Americans of non-Cuban descent will remain in place.
This week's move represents a significant shift in a U.S. policy that had remained largely unchanged for nearly half a century. The U.S. government instituted the embargo three years after Fidel Castro came to power in 1959.
In Mexico City for meetings with Mexican President Felipe Calderon, Obama offered a carrot and a stick to Havana.

"What we're looking for is some signal that there are going to be changes in how Cuba operates that assures that political prisoners are released, that people can speak their minds freely, that they can travel, that they can write and attend church and do the things that people throughout the hemisphere can do and take for granted," he said.
"And if there is some sense of movement on those fronts in Cuba, then I think we can see a further thawing of relations and further changes."
Obama's gesture precedes a trip this week to Trinidad and Tobago for a key meeting of hemispheric powers -- the Summit of the Americas.
