Fidel Castro Puts Barack Obama on Notice
Fidel Castro, retired dictator of Cuba, cleared up any misinterpretations Barack Obama may have had regarding statements made by Fidel’s brother Raul and put Obama on notice. In case anyone was wondering, Fidel is still in charge. In a communique from Castro he let it be known that the current U.S. President was not going to schmooze his way into Cuba with the Obama brand of change.
Juventud Rebelde – Obama and the Blockade
There is no doubt that the President misinterpreted Raul’s statements.
When the President of Cuba said he was ready to discuss any topic with the US President, he meant he was not afraid of addressing any issue. That shows his courage and confidence on the principles of the Revolution. No one should feel astonished that Raul spoke about pardoning those who were convicted on March, 2003, and about sending them all to the United States, should that country be willing to release the Five Cuban Anti-Terrorism Heroes. The convicts, as was already the case with the Bay of Pig’s mercenaries, are at the service of a foreign power that threatens and blockades our homeland.

One thing appears certain, any concessions to be made will come from the United States. Fidel made that perfectly clear. Barack Obama is getting a lesson in tyranical dictum. Smooth talk, charm and a utopian philosophy will not win over the despots of this world.
