Obama Apologizes to Castro
2014-12-20
Cuban communist leader lectures Obama for 30 minutes.

Barack Obama apologized to Cuban president Raul Castro during their phone conversation after the American commander in chief's opening remarks. Speaking to reporters at his final White House press briefing of 2014 Friday afternoon, Obama gave more details about his phone call with the communist leader of Cuba earlier this week before the announcement of a change in U.S. policy on the Caribbean island nation.

Obama began the phone call with Castro with what he described as 15 minutes of opening comments. It was the first conversation between the heads of state in both countries since 1961.

"I apologized for taking such a long time," Obama said. Castro responded by reminding Obama that the American president was still young enough to beat Castro's brother, former Cuban president and revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who once gave a 7-hour-long speech.

According to the president, Raul Castro proceeded to speak to Obama uninterrupted for 30 minutes.

2010, A mob of 600 pro Castro thugs and Cuban armed guards gather in Banes, Cuba to prevent Reina Luisa Tamayo from visiting her son's grave and going to Church. Reina Luisa Tamayo is the mother of Cuban martyr Orlando Zapata Tamayo who died in prison while on a hunger strike protesting inhumane conditions from the communist Cuban government. For 3 whole month the Castro regime's thugs and armed military personnel prevented Reina Luisa Tamayo from attending Church and visiting her son's grave all the while yelling insults at her.

#6  Let's not get on O's case for his apology. He has been a consistent president: He stabs our allies in the back and kowtows to our enemies.

#5  Raul was just laying out the "cronies" it will take to build the new Obama Presidential Library in Havana... We get Teamsters, electrical and waste handling... you can have asphalt because we don't have any asphalt plants anyway... we want merchandising but you can have parking because we only have a dozen working cars from the 50's left anyway. We can split food services- anything with pork ie Cuban sandwiches is ours, you get all halel.

#3  Could have been worse - could have been Fidel lecturing Obama with the patented 5 hour stemwinder.
