Fidel Castro says Obama’s ‘syrupy words’ were enough to cause a heart attack
President Obama’s “syrupy†words about brotherhood and shared history, and his call to leave behind the enmity of the past, were enough to give Cubans “a heart attack,†former president Fidel Castro said Monday in his first public response to Obama’s visit to Cuba last week.
“We don’t need any gifts from the empire,†Castro wrote in a scathing article, addressed to “Brother Obama†and published in Granma, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper.
His words were in stark contrast to the feel-good atmosphere of Obama’s three days on the island, where he held a news conference, attended a baseball game with current President Raúl Castro, and delivered a major address.
“Each of us probably had a heart attack†while listening to Obama, Castro wrote. “After nearly 60 years of ruthless blockade. And how many have died from mercenary attacks on boats, in Cuban ports, on an airplane full of passengers that exploded in full flight, in mercenary invasions and multiple acts of violence and force?

Obama, black president of THE exceptional nation and white dominance is a compendium of contradiction. but when you are exceptional all that applies to you apply to no others. you have the right to exist on both sides of the same coin at all times.
Obama. Tears :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
