Link-o-rama Barack Obama: The Soft on Tyranny President April 21, 2009
-By Warner Todd Huston
In May of 2008 when Barack Obama was running for president he made a stop in Miami, Florida, a place well known for being a hotbed of anti-Castro, anti-communist sentiment. Miami is a place where many thousands of self-exiled Cubans settled after they fled a life of religious and political oppression and torture at the hands of Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro. While in Miami candidate Obama made some strong and passionate statements about how if he were to be elected president his administration would not bow to Castro's tyranny.
He excoriated Castro’s oppression and sympathized with the Cuban people pledging that as president he'd help bring freedom, liberty, and democracy to Cuba. At the height of his passion, Obama said, "I won't stand for this injustice" and promised that, "together we will stand up for freedom in Cuba."
