Just a question. Would be nice to hear. He sort of missed the Easter massacre window.
Silence speaks louder than words in his case. I still can't believe he's been elected twice. The electorate is clueless.

Given the chance, I believe he would be elected for a 3rd. There are too many people out there that either do not care or do not know any better.
I can't believe you would bring that up at a time when we have Cuban relations to worry about.
"We don't need the empire to give us anything," Castro wrote, referring to the United States, in his acidly critical and rambling column.

He kinda worked the subject into his busy Cuban experience when he gave us this little speech 'bus' .
Obama: Wrong To Assume Brussels Attackers Muslim
HAVANA (WNB) - President Obama took time out of his Cuban vacation Tuesday to react to the terrorist attack that killed dozens and injured over 100 in Brussels, Belgium by cautioning against assuming the attackers were Muslim.
"Blaming this attack on individuals of a particular faith such as Islam is almost as bad as the attack itself," said Obama. "This incident could just as much be domestic terrorism by zealous conservative fanatics like we've seen in our own country or simply workplace violence. Justice is not served by the groundless impugning of a peaceful religion practiced by nearly 2 billion people."
President Obama made the remarks while touring the Che Guevara memorial with his family (below).
It took me a minute to realize that was satire, sounds like something he'd say.The picture gave it away though.

Obama made clear his reasons for his more careful word choices at the White House Summit on Countering Violent Extremism in February.
“All of us have a responsibility to refute the notion that groups like [ISIS] somehow represent Islam, because that is a falsehood that embraces the terrorist narrative,” he said.
“We are not at war with Islam,” Obama added. “We are at war with people who have perverted Islam.”
That distinction was not a partisan one — until very recently.
In fact, former President George W. Bush made a very similar remark in a speech he delivered to airline employees just weeks after the 9/11 attacks.
“Americans understand we fight not a religion,” he said. “Ours is not a campaign against the Muslim faith. Ours is a campaign against evil.”
Although the two have taken very different approaches to combatting terrorism, it’s strikingly hard to tell the difference between their statements on the divide between the majority of those who practice Islam and those who invoke the faith to carry out violence.
“There are thousands of Muslims who proudly call themselves Americans, and they know what I know — that the Muslim faith is based upon peace and love and compassion,” Bush once said.
Echoing that sentiment, Obama said in February, “The terrorists do not speak for over a billion Muslims who reject their hateful ideology.”
It's a nuanced issue, but ask yourself this. As the leader of the free world, do you want to declare war on 1.6 billion muslims around the world, or rather limit that scope to several thousand jihadist terrorists? You guys can't be that dumb to suggest Obama and the entirety of American political and military leadership don't know that with Al Queda & ISIS they're up against radical islamic terrorists. Well, on second thought, maybe you are. There is a very specific reason Obama, the rest of the cabinet, as well as Western leaders around the world use the terminology they do. Just think about it, as painful as that may be.

Obama Doesn’t Like To Say ‘Islamic Terrorism.’ Neither Did George W. Bush.

Pray tell, how would you prefer 1.6 billion muslims around the world to condemn Islamic terrorism? Send out a press release? Send you an email? Get off your lazy *** and look around, maybe read something other than breibart and oldwhiteguyswillruleagain.com, or wherever it is you get your information from.Until Muzzloids condemn Islamic terrorism they are supporters of it. They've had a lot of years and opportunities but haven't done it.
You can't possibly be this dense. Well, actually. Who do you think doesn't understand who these terrorists are? Obama? The US military? Because they don't go screaming it in your face, you really think they don't know who these groups are?Furthermore since 9/11 these murderous ******* clearly have made it known it is about Islam, its thrown in your faces and you tolerant compassionate ***** refuse to see it see it... what the **** does "ALLAH AHKBAR " mean to you before every bomb explosion or attack by gunfire by a Muslim?
