No, Mr. President, 1776 Wasn’t Anything Like Castro’s 1959 Putsch

IBD reports:

In his Tuesday address to the Cuban people, Obama declared that the communist takeover that led to the Castros’ 57-year dictatorship was a “liberation movement,” same as America’s 1776 revolution. Obama’s well-known for his false equivalencies, but this one stands out for its idiocy.

“Here’s my message to the Cuban government and the Cuban people,” Obama said.”The ideals that are the starting point for every revolution, America’s revolution, Cuba’s revolution, the liberation movements around the world, these ideals find their truest expression, I believe, in democracy.”

It must have drawn a stifled horse-laugh from Cuban military dictator Raul Castro.

Comrade Obama feels at home in Communist Cuba.
