Jimmy Carter: ‘Proud’ of Obama on Cuba

By Kendall Breitman

Former President Jimmy Carter on Thursday praised President Barack Obama’s “political courage” in reestablishing relations with Cuba.

“This is the kind of thing that has been long overdue, and I’m very proud and grateful that President Obama has shown such wisdom and also I think political courage in taking these long overdue steps,” Carter told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Carter, who also tried to mend relations with Cuba as president, said that the Cuban people will be the main beneficiaries of a new relationship - not the country’s rulers - and he added that the move will be “good for both countries.”



“I think this openness of communication will be much better, there will obviously be more trade, commerce, visitation back and forth, which I think will promote democracy,” Carter said.

“The best way to bring democracy and freedom to Cuba…is to have full opportunity for Americans to go there, trade, to invest…I think this will open up the Cuban people to the realization that they need to move towards more freedom and more democracy.”

Carter’s praise for the president comes after Obama announced on Wednesday his plans to reestablish a diplomatic relationship with Cuba after an over 50 year embargo.

Carter praising it makes me have to reconsider.  Both Obama and Carter cannot be correct at the same time. **nononono*

Just one Commie SOB praising another! No big deal!
