Obama Cuba Speech Lies

By Douglas V. Gibbs

According to "Breitbart," Obama's lies during his Cuba Speech were in the double digits.  In their article they point out, and explain, ten of them.  Here's the list in short order:

1. No mention of the Cuban missile crisis.

2. Suggesting that the president can establish a U.S. embassy on his own.

3. No mention of Cuba’s role in repressing democracy abroad.

4. Suggesting that Cuba does not support terrorism.

5. False claim that the U.S. is to blame for lack of information in Cuba.

6. False promise to consult Congress on Cuba, when his administration broke that promise.

7. False claim that Cuba agreed to release political prisoners as part of a deal with the U.S.

8. False commitment to principle of changing policies that do not work.

9. Conflating the collapse of the Castro regime with the collapse of Cuba.

10. Falsely identifying the U.S. as a colonial power.
