Obummer and his family stepped off the plane in Cuba and although they were given an umbrella, they weren’t given a greeting by the head of Cuba himself, Raul Castro, the brother of Fidel Castro. The Pope and dignitaries from around the world have been shown respect from Castro as soon as they touch down in Cuba, but not the United States president, as Castro was nowhere on that tarmac or anywhere near that airport.
AOL video screen grab (2)“Fox and Friends” live on Monday morning March 21, pointed this detail out via a clip showing Donald Trump explaining to a crowd at a one of his weekend rallies how this was a disgrace and a snub toward the nation. Trump cites the Pope and other dignitaries that have gotten Castro out to the airport, but Castro apparently doesn’t think enough of his neighbors to the north to bother welcoming them to his country personally.
WND News today reports that both Donald Trump and Ted Cruz "slammed the greeting President Obama and his wife received during their historic touch-down at a Cuban airport, saying the failure of Raul Castro to personally greet them as they exited Air Force One was a slap in the face to America." It is hard to label it anything else but a snub, despite Obama saying this is no problem as their official first meeting has already been planned.
But Obama is not visiting an old friend or a relative, because if he was then he could dismiss this lack of a greeting anyway he wants to, but he is representing the U.S. on this trip. Excusing Castro for his snub translates into a lack of pride for the U.S. and that is not the way it should be.
Trump said this should have been arraigned in advance and if Obama learned that Castro would not greet them at the airport, the trip should have been called off. If Obama was surprised by the no-show Castro once they landed, they should have turned around and come home expressed the top GOP candidate.
As MSN News reports today, this is an historic meeting, as this is the first time a U.S. President has stepped foot in Cuba since 1928, when Calvin Coolidge was there. It is also making history because it appeared as if the Obama’s were snubbed by the head of the country by not receiving a welcome at the airport by Castro.
Let face facts obummer has been the worst of the worst and wee hilalry clinkie will be no better. Fortunately she should be behind bars if justice still has aplace in the USA - to be joined by obummer of course.
