At Last - Obama and Raul

[malaise]

[Rex]

1. It was long past time imo.

Obama the peacemaker. Sends little ones like Cheney and Bolton into orbit! "How dare he make peace!"

[malaise]

3. Turn on CNN - he's speaking now

Way past at last.

Bravo Obama and Raul (and we don't know how this ends).

[Rex]

4. Hopefully it ends with normalized relations with Cuba.

Screw the FBI and the CIA, they will have to just get use to it.

[malaise]

5. Jeb wants to know why he's meeting with Castro and not with Bibi the war criminal

WTF???? After Gaza 2014 no American should meet with Bibi

[Rex]

9. Jeb still needs to explain why he is missing key emails about the 2000 (s)election.

Bibi is toxic...yet so is the GOP, so they are birds of a feather.

[malaise]

10. He needs to explain Florida 2000

Remember he promised his brother the state and then stole it with help from the Supremes

[Rex]

12. And his good buddy, Katherine Harris.

So many are invested that we forget the names, dates and places...NOPE, wronged people never forget such injustices to our nation!

NEVER.

[malaise]

13. You mean Cruella Deville?

One more pic

[panader0]

21. Great photo.

[malaise]

2. They just ended a one on one meeting

This is historic

[madokie]

6. I'm proud of my/our President

for seeing that things don't have to always be as they once were

[malaise]

7. Yup

ReTHUGs will be squealing like pigs because they can kiss that carefully cultivated Florida vote goodbye - Rubio is scared shitless

[Enthusiast]

18. I like it when they squeal like pig.

Rubio is done. His whole life has been disrupted. His whole reason for being is gone with the wind.

[malaise]

22. OMFG - wh o is this Obama hating lunatic on CNN - he looks like Fucker Carson

He just said Obama coddles with terrorists


Give Richie Rich his meds and send him to an institution for lunatic RW scumbags

[NoJusticeNoPeace]

27. They hate it when Obama does something like this, stupid bigoted assholes..Obama=Superman

[malaise]

28. Obama speaking now n/t

[H2O Man]

8. Thank you!

Recommended.

[malaise]

11. You're welcome

[malaise]

14. Joint press conference coming up shortly on CNN n/t

[libdem4life]

15. Look at everyone's face looking at Obama...respect, awe, just Wow.

I must admit I was a little surprised when Obama got the Nobel Peace Prize so quickly, but boy has he ever earned it in spades now. I mean, who else will he have The Audacity to make peace with now?

What will we do with all those expensive munitions and stuff. Even our cities don't really want them since cell phones have dampened the sport of shooting black folk. And they won't even riot.

Guess we'd better check the "plowshare" market.

16. Raul recalled all of the history of mistrust and then said that he thinks Obama is

and honest man and does not hold him responsible for the policies of ten previous presidents.
He also said that he read Obama's autobiographies.

[flamingdem]

17. Love that Castro gives Obama love while the Repukes undermine him

Have always known that we share with Cuba a common enemy, the worst of the right wing.

:large

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Remember too

That Raul is easily old enough to be Obama's father. He knows he's part of the generation of us who weren't born (but would be a year or so later) when the break in relations occurred. And during that time, the U.S. mended fences with Russia and China but left them and N. Korea out of that equation.

[malaise]

20. Good point

[fadedrose]

23. He makes me feel proud to be American

Helps to blow off some of the dirt left by previous presidents and statesmen...

[malaise]

24. I can't speak for Cubans but I can tell you that

Jamaicans' love for Obama is distinct from our feelings about US foreign policy.
It's amazing to watch and to listen to folks re Obama.

[malaise]

25. Two minute warning to the Obama press conference

additional breaking news from the Summit re Brazil and the USA.
Brazilian President will meet with Obama at the WH in June - first talks with them since the NSA scandal that exposed spying on the Brazilian President.

[riderinthestorm]

26. Historic! Glad I got to witness this firsthand!

may even have a little sniff or two going on here while also doing the happy dance!

[nadinbrzezinski]

29. You know who has the credit for that photo?

I know, go to state, I am sure they posted them

Found a WH credited photo...recording the statement now

[malaise]

30. I just hit google for some images

I like to give credit to the photographers but rarely do we get to see credits

Oman is tearing McGramps a new one.
Partisanship has crossed all boundaries - tears up Cotton and the 47 and now Mitch the turtle - attacking the Secretary of State - oops that was a scathing condemnation of ReTHUGs

Damn this is great.

[nadinbrzezinski]

32. Now to transfer sound

and... write a news story...

[yellowwoodII]

31. Can I Say It Again?

How much I admire President Obama. This is the kind of action I admire.

[Octafish]

33. History.

Peace.

[vlakitti]

34. Thanks, Malaise

Good thread, fine photo and the post fostered some really interesting discussion.

It's always nice to find out you agree with a lot of other folks.

[malaise]

36. Welcome to DU viakitti

I agree that it is nice to know you and other folks share views on several issues.

[m-lekktor]

35. a major high point of his presidency IMO!

the right wing will be screeching though. "Obama met with communists blah blah blah".

double thumbs up to President Obama on this one
