Obama continues to demonstrate strong support among those deeply opposed to American foreign policy goals:
He also is full of opinions, and on Monday he gave Senator Barack Obama an endorsement of sorts, calling him “the most progressive candidate to the U.S. presidency” while also berating him for his plan to continue the trade embargo against Cuba. “Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries an enormous favor,” Mr. Castro said. “I have therefore no reservations about criticizing him.”
It’s nice that Castro demonstrates enough of a sensitivity to American popular opinion that he makes a show of criticizing Obama. Still the damage is done: another brutal enemy of America believes that Obama would make a better president than John McCain. At some point, Obama must address the fact that he’s accumulating strong support from those who wish America no good. What’s his best argument? I bet he argues that it’s all just a distraction from the real issues. HT: Say Anything
