Every enemy is a friend of this President, every friend is treated like an enemy.
Like most things with the Obama regime(regime, not administration-administration implies input, regime is by royal dictate), this was duplicitous. They just said yesterday this was just a random handshake, while they are really using it to test the waters. Nothing this regime does is accidental.
Three guesses that he will normalize relations with Cuba. He doesn’t care about cancelling health plans for millions, he wouldn’t care about the feelings of Cuban-Americans.
Via Daily Mail:
The handshake seen ’round the water cooler was no fluke, it turns out.
When President Barack Obama approached the podium at Nelson Mandela’s memorial service and made a beeline for a row of foreign leaders – stopping first to shake Cuban dictator Raúl Castro’s hand – it came after representatives from the two historically antagonistic nations had already been in talks for six months.
‘[B]ehind the scenes,’ two Daily Beast national security reporters wrote on Tuesday, ‘U.S. and Cuban officials have held midlevel discussions in Havana and Washington on a range of issues, including direct postal service, migration issues, disaster response, and search and rescue at sea.’
During the president’s trip back from South Africa, Deputy National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters on Air Force One that ‘it’s been quite some time since the Presidents of the United States and Cuba were even in the same place.’
But he acknowledged that ‘we’re in talks on issues associated with migration that, again, I think allow for there to be greater connectivity particularly among Cuban Americans and Cuba.’
