Did you want maybe [this one](http://flashbak.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/PA-2373059.jpg)? Or they could be making reference to [this one](http://media.gettyimages.com/photos/hanoi-viet-nam-us-president-george-w-bush-and-vietnamese-president-picture-id72589254) bit that would be wrong, that would be an image of a proper former enemy. Really, let them post great big pictures and monumental statues of their “revolutionary icons”. Then have Marriott open resorts and Nike set up shoe factories. You can’t eat revolutionary icons. ---

> [@JRDelirious](#): > > Really, let them post great big pictures and monumental statues of their “revolutionary icons”. Then have Marriott open resorts and Nike set up shoe factories. You can’t eat revolutionary icons. This a thousand times over. Let them “save face” and claim they won. We’ll own the island inside of 50 years.\* - Which might or might not end up being an overall good thing for the Cuban people, but I honestly think it’s somewhat inevitable if they open the island to capital investment from the US. I think in the long run they’ll trade current issues for new ones. TAANSTAFL. ---

I like Obama, and i think the conservative frothing over this issue is just another incident in a long line of idiocy. I did find [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeFR2ilVIAEOM3x.jpg) amusing, though. ---

They’re convinced one trip to Cuba will turn the US communist. Nevermind the decades of engaging with the USSR, China, and Vietnam that somehow didn’t seem to rub off. ---

No No you see “only Nixon could go to China” because GOP members wear magic underwear that protects them from communist mind control rays. We must protect our precious bodily fluids, won’t someone think of the children? ---

Ehh…It’d just be another agrarian/commodity state sucking up more federal dollars than it pays out - a GOP-leaning welfare state. Got plenty of those, don’t need any more. And it’s cheaper this way. ---

The United States should act fast to introduce the glamour of Yankee culture — striking while the iron’s hot and they’re helpless . Knocking down Old Havana and replacing with concrete n’ glass; moving in the expatriate Cuban community with plenty of money; building vast American owned casinos with high-toned operatives from Atlantic City and Las Vegas with plenty of shoe-shining jobs; and buying the complete sugar industry will expose the fraudulence of the Revolution. ---

And yet I was so surprised that Trump had supporters. You believe that something like this means anything, you’ll take what any frothing maniac tells you. Trump is the human embodiment of these crazy Facebook posts. ---

> [@Sitnam](#): > > Right, no need to consent to the will of the governed. That’s how the GOP rolls. Ayatollah “Che” Obama is saying that the United States should follow the murderous commie dictators for the record on human rights. Obama is literally saying that the US government should be executing children for political crimes just like “human rights” leader Earnesto “Che” Guvera and the thug dictators the commie castros. Murder and thuggery. That’s how the commie dems roll.
