When it comes to the subject of Barack Obama, communists are starting to sound just like conservatives.
The Associated Press had this report on Cuba’s reaction to President Obama’s performance at the UN Climate Conference:
Cuba’s foreign minister called President Barack Obama an “imperial and arrogant” liar Monday for his conduct at the U.N. climate conference, a reflection of the communist island’s increasingly fiery verbal attacks on the U.S. government.
Bruno Rodriguez spent an hour and a half lambasting Obama’s behavior in Copenhagen, telling a news conference, “at this summit, there was only imperial, arrogant Obama, who does not listen, who imposes his positions and even threatens developing countries.”
He called the summit “a fallacy, a farce” and said Washington used back-room deals and strong-arm tactics to foist on the world a deal that he labeled “undemocratic” and “suicidal” because it urges – but does not require – major polluters to make deeper emissions cuts.
Rodriguez also said Cuba and other poor nations have refused to recognize the agreement because they weren’t permitted to participate in its development.
Arrogant? Didn’t let others participate? Doesn’t listen? Backroom deals?
Hey, you communist son of a bitch, nobody describes our president that way. Except that Rodriguez sounds like he’s pulling a Joe Biden by copying comments by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell about ObamaCare “negotiations.”
The Wall Street Journal reported:
“It was quite arrogant: ‘We know best. You all sit down and shut up—meaning the American people. And Republicans, we don’t need to deal with you. You just sit down and shut up and we’ll take care of this for you.’ Very arrogant,” McConnell said of Democrats. “The President and the leadership said, ‘Make history.’ Well, that’s what you talk about when you don’t have the polls on your side. And of course, a lot of things that have happened in history have not been good.”
…The rushed, secretive way that a bill this destructive and unpopular is being forced on the country shows that “reform” has devolved into the raw exercise of political power for the single purpose of permanently expanding the American entitlement state. An increasing roll of leaders in health care and business are looking on aghast at a bill that is so large and convoluted that no one can truly understand it, as Finance Chairman Max Baucus admitted on the floor last week. The only goal is to ram it into law while the political window is still open, and clean up the mess later.
We say give this guy another Nobel Peace Prize. Anyone who can unify communists and conservatives really deserves one.
