Push for Democracy in Cuba? Not this President
Apparently, the U.S. interest section in Havana installed a news ticker on the outside of the building a few years ago. It would display pro-democracy news, inspirational items and (no doubt) irritate the Marxists. Well, apparently Obama feels that quoting the likes of Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln and Lech Walesa is just too pushy. So we turned the sign off. One wouldn’t want to be pushy with a murderous dictatorship, would one?
In just a few short months in office Obama is starting to show a knack for failing to support democracy. Here are a few places where Obama has sided with thugs over democracy.
Iran
Venezuela
Honduras
Cuba
Russia
Palestinian Authority
Syria
People struggling to bring democracy to their countries are going to be in for a tough few years. Watch your back, guys.
