Odumbo To Make Nice With Communists, Now...

Wager? Wanna provide PROOF of your above statement? Yeah, I thought not.
And anything you can do to run away from the core subject matter is what you do most every time.
Here are more examples Mr. Moron ... you can take this up with AP, CBS or whatever other source. Sorry your parents deprived you of an education.
"Going into the fourth quarter, you usually get a time-out," Obama said. (Note the comma)
“Most of us on the front line want to serve, want to help, want to answer any questions that we can, but if we’re flat out told it’s no longer our prerogative, we’re stuck,” the employee who wished not to be named said. (Note the comma)
“There’s no black male my age, who’s a professional, who hasn’t come out of a restaurant and is waiting for their car and somebody didn’t hand them their car keys,” the President told People magazine. (Note the comma)
Before the family moved into the White House in 2009 and Obama became commander-in-chief, “Obama was a black man that lived on the South Side of Chicago, who had his share of troubles catching cabs,” the First Lady added. (Note the comma)
Those kinds of things happen in life,” Michelle Obama said. (Note the comma)
“The small irritations or indignities that we experience are nothing compared to what a previous generation experienced,” he said. (Note the comma)
So you see there was nothing additional to Odumbo's statement about being seen as a valet.
I hope we soon solve the illiteracy problem here in the US. You too can be helped.
Bullshit. Sentences don't end with a comma. It is NOT a complete statement. Why you are too stupid to understand this is a real mystery. Oh wait, no it's not, you're a righty. Just for once try using some critical thinking and stop being such a sheep.

Sometimes it takes things, e.g., cost of medical care, to get so bad that the Senators' mothers start complaining before they will even consider voting against the interests of the corporations that financed their political campaigns.
William Wieland, who was a State Department adviser on Cuba famously said:
"I know Batista is considered by many as a son of a bitch... but American interests come first... at least he was our son of a bitch."
It was widely known that no business got transacted in Cuba without paying a bribe to Batista. That way of doing business is a Latin and South American tradition -- a legacy of the Spanish.
In retrospect, there was little to lose by accepting the Cuban offer of bonds at 4.5% interest in payment for the Nationalized property. Nevertheless, had the U.S. accepted the offer, rather than insisting on payment up front, an impossible condition for the Cubans to meet, it is virtually certain that Cuba would have defaulted on the bonds, unless of course we had agreed to normalize relations with them after the Communists came to power. In hindsight, those disgruntled Cubanos who lobbied for the embargo to punish Castro and his impoverished followers, were cutting their own financial throats. It seems that some of the losses of U.S. business interests were partially compensated, by the U.S. tax payers, perhaps indirectly via tax deductions, I don't know the details. I do know of one individual, a large heavy equipment dealer who business assets were nationalized, that was rumored to have eventually received a sum of 8 million in compensation. Considering that the entire sum extracted from the Cuban government in compensation for the nationalized property was reported to be less than 2 million, one has to wonder were the additional money came from to compensate U.S. business. It seems there can be only one answer.
I heard a guy on NPR this am talking about Cuban Baseball and the many great Cuban players. Will American Major League Baseball expand to Cuba? Of course, it is only a matter of time. Get ready for the return of the The Havana "Sugar Canes" ! http://sabr.org/research/when-dream-plays-reality-baseball-roberto-maduro-and-inter-american-league
"Cuba is truly the island of romance, a land of flashing-eyed senoritas seasoned with onions and a dash of garlic, all for 50 cents."
"What? Could that be? Here, let me see it. 'Flashing-eyed senoritas, many of them continental style, spread out over the sidewalk.'"
"Huh? Oh, no. You'd fall over them in the dark. Wait, there's a trick to these things. Now you just give like that, and just let them fold naturally like that. Then you have it. 'A land of flashing-eyed senoritas equipped with red, green and amber lights to control the traffic.'"
"They do everything, don't they?"
"Yeah, in this folder."
