Castro's Helper

It is a shame that senators, who are suppose to be well versed in contemporary history at the least, fail to see facts of recent past history and facts that take place today and establish a relationship between south-africans of today and cubans of tomorrow. Aparheid is apartheid is apartheid, wether it was against south-african citizens or wether it is against cuban citizens.

Heck, it boggled my mind, when I saw Nelson Mandela himself in Cuba and not make one statement in regard to the cubans that cannot go to a tourist resort, or a three star hotel, or rent a boat, even if they had the hard currency to do so.

What is it with "double standards" in people like this, Obama included??

Al pan, pan. Y al vino, vino. Enough is enough.
