(My new Babalu post)
President Obama shook hands with Raul Castro, the leader of a country that denies its citizens human rights.
My Canadian friend Brian Lloyd French, author of "Mojito", wrote "The island of lies" a couple of years ago:
"Lies are a permanent part of life on the Castros' island paradise lost.Younger Cubans have to lie about their opinions of the government, its leadership and their opinion of the United States. Old Cubans lie about Fidel Castro because those lies are the only opinion they've ever been allowed to have.The Cuban politburo lies about everything it does, and just about everything everyone else does; especially the USA.The Castros spew lies constantly but are so absent from reality that they seem to believe them."
Why would President Obama elevate a liar like Raul Castro?
