Mariela Castro supports Obama

WSJPresident Obama has received yet another endorsement, this time from the daughter of Cuban military dictator Raúl Castro. Mariela Castro proclaimed her support for the sitting president 10 days ago, during a visit to the United States. "I believe that Obama needs another opportunity and he needs greater support to move forward with his projects and with his ideas, which I believe come from the bottom of his heart," she said in a CNN interview in New York.

There you have it folks. If that is not enough of a red flag, I don't know what is.

WSJ"I believe that Obama needs another opportunity .
LOL. Even Obama's supporters don't think he did a good job in his first 4 years.
 

Who gives a shit? One's opinion of Mitt Romney shouldn't change if he gets endorsed by a zealot that makes him look bad, nor should the actions of some inconsequential cuban effect my opinion of Barack.

Abdel, shouldn't you be worrying about Canadian politics?

The day the USD is no longer the reserve currency, that day, I'll mind my business.

Your huge debt is causing the mad men at the FED to print tons of USD's, which in turn is causing my gas and food prices to go up, i.e. my standard of living is going down.

Well good thing you're keeping an eye on the relatives of the leaders of third world island nations then. Gotta watch that standard of living.

Actually, gas prices are going down in USD terms because gasoline tracks the Euro on some level.

If you're angry about gas prices, talk to Greece. I'm angry too. I think oil is worth $150/barrel, and those darned Greeks are pushing prices down to $90 because of panic over a European recession.

Talk to them about gold prices too. Gold has dropped from $1850/oz to $1600. I want it to go to $2000, but foolish Canadian and European foreigners keep stocking up on USD faster than the fed can print.

Oh well, thank you for funding our welfare state. Inflation is always the biggest tax, so thanks for helping us out.
