Meet Alan Gross & His Lawyer, Huge Castro-Lovers

by JASmius



Notice the picture in Scott Gilbert's office at upper right.  Look familiar?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and likely for as many years as he squats in the Oval Office: with Barack Obama, anything he says or does, there is always another shoe to drop:

Alan Gross, the U.S. contractor released Wednesday after five years of captivity in Cuba, was greeted with a, well, surprising art choice while preparing to make a statement on U.S. soil this afternoon.

Visible in the background of a widely circulated photograph of Gross, his lawyer Scott Gilbert and spokesperson Jill Zuckman: An image of Che Guevara, the divisive revolutionary figure.

Zuckman told The Post via e-mail that the photograph was taken at the Gilbert LLP law firm.

The print, from a distance, appears to be the same image that’s often emblazoned on T-shirts, posters and other memorabilia. That iconic image is based on a photograph by Alberto “Korda” Diaz Gutierrez; we have more on the history of the image here.

Guevara was a leader in the Castro brothers’ revolution to overthrow the Batista dictatorship in Cuba and replace it with a communist government.

I don't think it's much of an exaggeration to say that what Bowe Bergdahl was to the Taliban, Alan Gross was to the Castro brothers: Obamunists whose capture by American enemies (but Obama allies) provided The One with both excuse and cover to free enemy spies and illegal combatants that he always wanted to turn loose anyway, give him a "welcome home" photo op with the tearfully grateful families (I wonder if Mrs. Gross will be sporting a beret?), and stake a claim to another "diplomatic breakthrough" to backfill his Nobel "Peace" Prize with another act of flagrant appeasement that can only lead to catastrophic war.

As I posed yesterday: What will be O's reaction when it is discovered that the Russians and/or ChiComms have constructed military bases in Cuba?  Somehow I doubt that a second Cuban Missile Crisis will be in the offing, unless you define it as MRBMs raining down on American cities - or a single nuclear missile frying the U.S. electrical grid.
