Koo-ba

President Obama is having a stellar trip to Koo-ba. It started well when head-of-state Raul Castro refused to meet him at the airport. I'm sure the dialog after that went something like this, "OMG! Today? I had you down for tomorrow. I'm s-o-o sorry!" Well, okay - a mistake anyone could make. Ever been to a party where the hosts's dog pees on your leg?

Then the picture was released with the President and his party in front of a building with a giant Che Guevara mural. What stunning sensitivity to Cuban political prisoners, many of whom were arrested while President Obama was there for wanting - yes, political freedom. Not that! How about a group shot with the President, Che, Raul and Chavez? Great leaders all in democracy in the Americas. 

But this is realpolitik Kissinger-style, right? Things will surely be getting better as a result of the U.S. opening up to Cuba. Well, there is definitely change that has occurred. Humberto Fontova, a Cuban refugee, wrote in Breitbart on Sunday that Obama's policy did change things in Cuba - they got worse. A wave of terror has begun against pro-democracy activists, especially women and the greatest number of Cubans in several decades is trying to flee the "People's Paradise."

And while the President was not meeting with Raul Castro, John F. Kerry was meeting with the FARC terrorists from Colombia, presumably to apologize for the United States supporting a democratically-elected government in that country. 

We cannot get rid of these guys soon enough.
