Obama Did Something Right at the Climate Summit

The climate summit was a big waste of time that fortunately inflicted no damage. But apparently Obama actually did something right. He enraged the Cuban government.
Cuba's foreign minister called President Barack Obama an "imperial and arrogant" liar Monday for his conduct at the U.N. climate conference,
Everyone already knows Obama is arrogant and a liar. I guess Cuba hasn't been paying attention. "Imperial" is just standard communist demonization.
"at this summit, there was only imperial, arrogant Obama, who does not listen, who imposes his positions and even threatens developing countries."
If Obama really threatened developing countries, I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate him for putting the beggars in their place.
He called the summit "a fallacy, a farce" and said Washington used back-room deals and strong-arm tactics to foist on the world a deal that he labeled "undemocratic" and "suicidal"
Well, we all knew the summit was a fallacy and a farce, but Cuba calling something "undemocratic" is pretty funny. If the Cubans think the "deal" was suicidal, maybe it isn't quite as worthless as it appears.

Fidel Castro, A Left-wing Democrat?

It's pretty hard to tell the difference between the language of long-time communist dictator Fidel Castro, and the average left-wing Democrat. Castro blames Obama's problems on Bush and right-wing racism.
"the extreme right hates him for being African-American and fights what the president does to improve the deteriorated image of that country," Castro wrote.

"I don't have the slightest doubt that the racist right will do everything possible to wear him down, blocking his program to get him out of the game one way or another, at the least political cost," he said.
Leftist Democrats often react with hysterical outrage when called communists, Marxists, or even socialists. Yet they use the same language and the same false accusations of racism as a communist dictator. It must just be coincidental.
