It was always hard for me explain my support for obama.. but it was always in the little things.. when i would try to explain to anybody who hated obama they would just laugh at me and when i would try and explain it to fellow progressives they just would think i was odd.
But this video that the right is using to try and make obama look foolish is one of the reasons. You see obama is creating dialogue with a county that the political leaders probably hate us.. he knows that they are not our best friends and things can go wrong fast. Hes doing the openness with cuba not because he necessary personally wants to but knows its the right thing to do.. its time.. its been to much time.. to many years of neighbors hating each other. He knows that by doing this the chances of conflict dramatically is reduced..
But when castro tried to raise hes hand he also knew deep down inside that they are a dictator who are keeping innocent political prisoners.. that they are not a free country like we are.. that they do have huge potential but they are not there yet. and he doesn't want to be rude to this old man who is trying to raise hes hand. but a part of him.. the part of him that cares about the innocent poeple in cuba who are being mistreated cannot let him raise hes hand in truimph as if hes supporting 100 percent what castro has done.
See with obama the left and right might not always agree with him.. in fact the right hates him and uses situation like this to tear him down.. but its situations like this that i see hes subtle kindess and vision of whats best for both countries even though it might not best for democrats. I will miss you obama. I will especially miss you every time i turn on the tv and the potential person that could replace you is that moron trump.
