[Marxism] Fidel: Obama no longer a virgin

[Eli Stephens <elishastephens@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The immediate response

THE response came barely a few hours later. Rahm Emmanuel, the White House 
chief of staff, spoke. It is of no importance that he failed to mention my 
modest Reflection. What is important is the response.

He told journalists that what interests President Obama is the Cuban-American 
community. It was the first time that he mentioned the subject since assuming 
power. Among those Cubans qualified to do so, they had voted 3 to 1 for the 
Democratic candidate in the state of Florida. The almost 12 million Cubans 
inhabiting the island do not interest him (Obama).

When they asked him to specify his candidate in Cuba, the man closest to the 
president did not wish to go into the subject in depth: "I think that the least 
said on Cuba, the better."

"He will authorize Cuban-Americans to travel to Cuba and send remittances."

Regarding the right of U.S. citizens to travel, he didn't even mention it.

For him, the Cuban Adjustment Act and the blockade were not worthy of any 
reference whatsoever.

Thus, sooner rather than later, Obama's politics are losing their virginity.
