Raul Snubs Barry at Airport

[jon_berzerk]

In such encounters, symbolism is everything. Barry is making all of the concessions; the Castro's are conceding NOTHING. No political reform, no reduction in prepression, NOTHING.

This is what Donald Trump is talking about when he says he knows how to make good deals. You do not give up anything for NOTHING. There are times when you have to walk away from the table without a deal.

Barry has made this same mistake time and time again: make concessions in the vain hope that sometime later, the other side will make a concession. It's like expecting a used car dealer to sweeten the deal after you have paid for the car. It just ain't happening.

yup that is the exact stuff Trump is talking about

the current prezbo always comes away with the shorter end of the stick

you can bank on it

Obama doesn't care. all he cares about now is trying to save something for a legacy that isn't all Failure. but as we see he failed at this already. Castro couldn't take the time to greet him to his Lovely communist paradise.

And he get to HOSE us taxpayers for another family Vacation with mommy in law and all

Kerry went to Mexico to bow down to the Mexican President a couple of weeks ago. One day and overnight.
The trip cost the American taxpayer 500K.
I wonder what the 'BOBO's' trip to Cuba is going to cost?
The 'BOBOs' are burning through as much taxpayer money as they can before 'MO' moves permanently to the S. France with the girls and BOBO moves into the apartment above Boystown.

Gotta love the rightwing media in their attempt to downplay the historic Cuba vist

Look everyone...Castro did not meet the plane
Go on the interwebs tomorrow and voice your outrage

You mean HYSTERIC visit.

The Castro Brothers are in their 80's so no, I don't think that it would be wise to send either one out in the rain.
I don't like them, but I would not want to condemn them to possibly catching pneumonia either.
Jeez......

Rain does not make you sick.

Rain is why there are umbrellas

All airports have hangers

Such a historic event you would think they could risk a little rain, and they would if it meant something to them.

I agree rain by itself does not make you sick.
Pneumonia and Elders: Why They Are More Susceptible - AgingCare.com

Although pneumonia is contagious, the main way older people get it is from themselves. "All of us carry bacteria in throats and noses. Frail elders often can't clear secretions from their lungs, and those secretions tend to go down into bronchial tubes. The area fills with pus, mucous, and other liquids and cannot function properly. This means oxygen cannot reach the blood and the cells of the body. Complications of pneumonia may include bacterial infection in the bloodstream and fluid and infection around the lungs," Dr. Schaffner explained.
Seniors may have other ailments – such as diabetes, Parkinson's disease, chemotherapy or HIV – which put them at a higher risk for pneumonia

How often does President Obama meet an arriving dignitary at the airport?

With Cuba, you guys are really grasping at straws if this is the best anti-Obama storyline you can bring up




.

How often does the POTUS fly to Cuba? Yes, a welcoming ceremony at the airport would be appropriate. But since it is Obama trying to seal his legacy and the Cubans have done nothing they don't need to respect el Wimpo.

There was a welcoming ceremony in the rain

Why stage an important diplomatic breakthrough under such conditions? There will be plenty of Obama/Castro photo-ops today

Give you conservatives plenty of opportunities to steam

The GOP didn't throw a hissy fit when Nixon visited communist China...

And when Nixon went to China, Zhou Enlai met him at the airport as Chairman Mao was too inform - but later welcomed Nixon at the palace.

Exactly, was there a disturbance in the force because the leader of China was not there to meet and greet the Nixon's deplaning?

 

[rightwinger]

Come on Conservatives....you can do better than this

Airport greetings? What did you want, Castro there with a stretch limo holding up a sign that says "Obama"?

I hear grandma Obama is on the trip. Give you guys a chance to rant about how grouchy she looks and start complaining about how much the trip cost

 

[Stephanie]

it's historic. I'm so sick of that word. It's only historic because HE decided he would go there, he spit all over JFK and his own Democrat party by doing it. it's only a trip and he historically failed and looked a fool again

Only a couple of threads from our rightwing posters on the "insult" of the airport greeting

You guys gotta do a better job if you want to demean Obama's historic visit to Cuba

A couple of suggestions:

1. We need threads on how much the trip is costing taxpayers
2. Since you can't criticize the girls being there (America LOVES the Obama girls) attack the grandma. She always looks grouchy and you can claim Cubans hate her
3. You can attack what Michelle Obama is wearing
4. You can claim the whole thing was actually Bush's idea
5. Maybe some photoshops that appear to make it look like Obama is bowing

Or that Obama should have waited until the next president is in office to go there..

While it's rare for President Obama to meet a foreign dignitary's plane, the greeting of the Pope at the airport is not unheard of
