Obama in Cuba
Presidential visits to any foreign country are heavily scripted, so the location and timing of this picture was no doubt placed on Obama's visit to Cuba following careful consideration and forethought.



So, what is the takeaway from a US President allowing is picture to be taken in front of the Plaza de la Revolución in Havana with the visage of el Che in the background?

Why, he's a Marxist revolutionary, of course. Just like the Right Wing blowhards have been saying for 8 years!

Doesn't bother me in the slightest. In fact, if it makes the RW nippleheads over at Fox News lose their minds? It's a good day.

How much consideration and forethought do you suppose went into these?

Che was awesome.

A real Hero of the common people.

He kicked out all the fucking capitalist who were raping the Cuban people back in the 50's.

We could use someone like him today.

Well, I figured someone that created the Cuban labor camp system, who helped replace one miserable police state with another, and who had folks shot who disagreed with him was someone that you'd think was "awesome".

Those exile Cubans and their relatives have been at the centers of many of our crucial events.

They punch way above their numbers crippling many presidents' policy initiatives.
