Congressional Black Caucus
The Congressional Black Caucus visited Cuba this week in an effort to convince Congress that they should loosen restrictions on access to and financial aid for the Communist nation. After the propaganda machine was well lubricated on both sides, some interesting quotes emerged: 
“A fourth member of the Caucus said that despite Obama’s electoral victory, the American society continues to be racist.” – Statement by Fidel Castro, April 6, 2009
“[Another lawmaker] added that his government should apologize to Cuba for all these years of hostility and for the blockade policy, because only then will we be in the position to move on together towards the solution of the bilateral differendum.” – Statement by Fidel Castro, April 6, 2009
“I got the sense that [Fidel Castro] really wants President Obama to succeed.” – Congresswoman Barbara Lee (D-CA), April 6, 2009
“He said to us, ‘how can we help President Obama?” – Congresswoman Laura Richardson (D-CA), April 6, 2009
“It was almost like listening to an old friend.” – Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL), April 6, 2009
“[Raul Castro] is one of the most amazing human beings I’ve ever met.” – Congressman Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO), April 6, 2009
Raul Castro is “just the opposite of how he’s being portrayed in the media… I think what really surprised me but also endeared to him was his keen sense of humor, his sense of history and his basic human qualities.” – Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL), April 6, 2009
“Fifty years of foolishness is over. It’s time for the children to sit in the corner and the adults to take over.” – Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL), April 6, 2009 calling Cuban refugees, exiles and supporters of human rights “children.”
“We’ve been led to believe that the Cuban people are not free, and they are repressed by a vicious dictator, and I saw nothing to match what we’ve been told.”- Congressman Bobby Rush (D-IL), April 6, 2009
Bobby Rush, a former Black Panther, treated the visit like old home week and was enamored by meeting with his street thug pals.
“Certainly the Clueless Seven, led by Rep. Barbara Lee of California, didn’t make a fuss about 50 years of the Castro brothers’ rule, the human rights violations or the escalating and disproportionate number of black Cubans held behind bars.” – Miami Herald Opinion, April 7, 2009
Maybe Michael Moore could become the US diplomat to Cuba so he could take advantage of that fine healthcare.
Clueless Leftists busy making Barack Hussein Obama proud. Indeed!

The CBC are by far the most disgusting group in Congress. Their visit to Cuba made me sick. Of course they didn’t see the oppressed…then they wouldn’t be pushing this crap on us. We know the people in Cuba are oppressed and kept very poor. If they weren’t oppressed they wouldn’t be hopping in boats to come to the USA. The CBC seems to overlook these facts as usual!

It simply goes to show you these people are Communists. Why weren’t any Causcasions, Hispanics, Cubans or other groups invited?
The Castro’s played this bunch of fools like a fiddle.
How convenient. These are the “bitter clingers” and they ain’t whities holding bibles in PA. Indeed!

Total IQ about 75. Throw in Maxine Waters and Corrine Brown and total would be 63.
Too much affirmative action for too long! Democrats are getting stupider every election.

You give them too much credit for any semblance of intellectual capacity Guy. Thanks, indeed!

Yes, it’s true that the CBC is made up largely of despicable commies but Republican congressmen like Jeff Flake and others have made their pilgrimages to Havana as well. This is a bipartisan disgrace.

Jeff Flake is one of few Conservatives in the GOP and his mission to Cuba was for lifting trade embargo among other things. This trip occurred in 2005.
Flake is co-sponsoring a travel ban lift in the Freedom to Travel to Cuba Act (H.R. 874). The bill has over 120 cosponsors.
However, Flake has not come out praising Fidel Castro as the Black Causus did and implying that America is bad. Flake publicly raise the issue of a Communist country and is not condoning a Communist regime.
