This week as another part of his paper tiger legacy (like his failed Hillary Clinton Russian “reset” or his Middle East-destabilizing ISIS-flourishing U.S. troop withdraw from Iraq), Mr. Obama is the first U.S. president to visit this present-day slave state since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. As Cuba is located ninety miles south of Key West, Florida, Coolidge's journey took three days via battleship. By contrast, Mr. Obama “winged it” in three-hour luxury on Air Force One, the alms of normalized U.S. relations gifted like candy from his coattails. As usual, the oft-vacationing Mr. Obama will enjoy himself with his extended Cuban-background “selfie” celebration, but the human rights abuses continue unchanged. (This reality is further echoed by presidential candidate Ted Cruz, who detailed that nine refugees drowned over the weekend in a futile attempt to escape the same hellhole the obliviously smug Mr. Obama so blithely tours.)As with the Iranian nuclear deal , where the ayatollahs gained everything and Mr. Obama nothing (but the empty political bragging rights of a slow-roll “deal” that guarantees those religious radicals offensive nuclear weapons after he is out of office in 2017), it seems our president has never met a totalitarian thug he doesn't kowtow to . But, why wouldn't he like such men – strong-arm bullies mirroring his own proclivities – who act beyond law (or human decency) with all the same impunity of an imperial “ pen and phone ”?
