Cuban troops bizarre chant: Well make Obama a hat out of bullets to the head

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/fabiola-santiago/article124836199.html

In a particularly absurd display of military might and tropical folklore, Raúl Castro presided over a military parade in Havana on Monday to honor his dead brother and mark the 58th anniversary of the Cuban Revolution.

But instead of railing against the Republican winner of the U.S. presidential election, who has already taunted and threatened the Cuban government with his infamous tweets, the theme was anti-Obama.

Apparently everybody loves a winner, and Raúl Castro is no exception. He’s ready to ditch President Barack Obama, who opened up to Cuba like no other U.S. president before him.
--------------

Listen to the war chant the marching troops were shouting in the parade:

“Commander-in-Chief, command us. Command over this land. We are going to make war if imperialism comes. Obama! Obama! With what fervor we’d like to confront your clumsiness, give you a cleansing with rebels and mortar, and make you a hat out of bullets to the head.”

Can you see Trumphumpers flocking to Havana under a looser regime in Cuba?

Hell no--their only hope for the almighty US dollar, in terms of tourism, is those of us who are open - hearted and open-minded....but when they start dissing our brother Barack, well, they can go fuck themselves for a bit longer.

Pffft. Obviously the Cuban Army is looking for a little insurgency or "peacekeeping" (i.e. strongarming) somewhere, and they're bored. Is Maduro not paying anymore?

another right wing anti-Cuban rethug so it seems.

Where is the date on this video?

Who shot this video?

A little critical analysis please because as you know most Cubans are favorable to Obama.

That is the key. Note that there is no way to find out since there's no link to a source.

Sorry that you fell for Miami Mafia propaganda!

Obama had not lifted sanctions at that point and the US was strangling Cuba with the embargo.

That's the LAST thing the Cuban government wants.

Incompetent regimes, like the Castros and the upcoming DJT regime, need foreign enemies to divert attention away from their own shortcomings.
