Fidel Castro lashes out at Obama after Cuba visit
I Just have to think this is only something that could be called "An Idiot goes Abroad and meets his dream society" Castro basically says "Go Home Yankee" and the WH calls this a "success". All they had in common was a desire to take everything and do what they want with it.
In a dictionary, the word "spin" should have Obama's smiling face beside it.
And I can think of other words thus illustrated.
He's literally saying pepole should be selfless so as not to give up the glory and rights of the country. I guess that's true. If people asserted their selves and their rights, it would take away from the state.

A very close family member of mine spent significant time in Cuba. I have gotten a pretty good report on the quality of life there. The people are good people. They've suffered quite a bit.
All true except the last part...but it would make a great cartoon. Best part he was not in DC screwing up things any worse than normal.
Obama toadies up to Raul, and in return, brother Fidel treats him properly -- just like a toad. He doesn't want out help? Great! Let him continue with his falling-down buildings, poverty and 1940s vintage cars. But that won't happen. We'll make them prosperous whether they like it ot not! Well, at least Trump is right in this respect, we let despots treat us like schmucks thanks to the good offices of the current administration.
Think of your local espresso shop if Americanos were called Americano Libre. What you thought we were exempt?
Another little story is why Canadians are against the USA lifting sanctions with Cuba. Because everywhere Gringos go the prices shoot through the ceiling and Canadians would lose their cheap winter vacation mecca. My tongue was not in my cheek that was a serious statement.
Where I live I see the opposite notion taking root more and more. Coupled with the lack of work ethic by the men is a growing work ethic by the women who often are the head of the household since the men have left to prove their machoism elsewhere.
This is an incomplete observation but has resulted in women rising in politics and in other areas and fueled by obtainable education.
If any US president wanted an overthrow in Cuba the dark forces in the fedgov would easily end the Castro regime. (That's what war criminals do if the target has resources they want.)
Well, there are the millions in bondage, but every country's politicians find that comforting.
How the hell do you manufacture nine billion dollars out of thin air and where does the hand out line start?
Sorry doesn't work in placed with people who stop and think about it....
Damn!
After that things don't look very good for Cruz. Unless Trump's support completely collapses -- and nothing has done that yet no matter how many times he's said something that everyone jumps on as "the thing", Trump's 269 delegate lead will prove too much for Cruz to make up. Whether Trump hits the convention with 1237 committed delegates is really the only question.
And then there was the ,757 crash into the Pentagon where there was a perfectly round hole in the building. We never saw even parts of sheared off wings or engines outside. Where did they go?
