The Obama Administration continues its weak foreign policy today by bowing to the wishes of the Castro regime in Havana. The United States mission in the city of Havana had been displaying a news ticker that spread political messages and information that harms the communist government.

But it angered the oppresive Castro brothers, so Obama had it turned off. Because really, what’s more important than appeasing a communist dictator responsible for the starvation and political oppression of his people?

The ticker, which streamed news, political statements and messages blaming Cuba’s problems on the country’s communist system and socialist economy, had infuriated former President Fidel Castro when it was turned on in January 2006 at a moment of high political tension with Washington. President Raul Castro took over from ailing elder brother Fidel last year.

Throughout most of July, the five-foot-high (1.5-meter high) news streamer which ran across 25 windows on the fifth floor of the U.S. Interests Section, has been turned off.

Western diplomats in Havana, who asked not to be identified, said there were no plans for its crimson letters to be switched on again any time soon.

Pressed for comment during the daily press briefing, Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said, “Let the president be clear: He fully intends to implement here the same economic system as the one utilized by Cuba. Besides, the ticker totally harshed Comrade Castro’s mellow.”

I may have made that Gibbs quote up whole cloth. Maybe. I’m like the New York Times reporting a “leak” story: Just making crap up. Fake but accurate.

Seriously though, the Obama Administration is so willing to plead with the communist dictatorial regime to come to the table that it’s willing to abandon efforts in the interests of the United States and Cuban people? It’s sickening.
