Presser from the congressman:

CASTRO DICTATORSHIP RESPONDS TO OBAMA’S GESTURES BY PHYSICALLY ASSAULTING CUBAN BLOGGERS

Diaz-Balart calls on President Obama to denounce the attack on Yoani Sanchez

Miami, FL -- Congressman Lincoln Diaz-Balart (FL-21) issued the following statement today concerning the Cuban dictatorship’s physical assault and detention of Cuban bloggers Yoani Sanchez, Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo and Claudia Cadelo on Friday, November 6, 2009:

“Friday’s violent attack on Yoani Sanchez, as she and her colleagues were on their way to a peaceful demonstration in Havana, was repulsive and condemnable. Through a series of overtures, the Obama Administration has indicated that the United States would seek a “new approach” to the Cuban dictatorship, claiming that President Obama’s gestures would help obtain a positive response from the regime. Friday’s attack on the Cuban bloggers was the dictatorship’s loud-and-clear response to President Obama’s gestures. I call on the President and his State Department to denounce the attack on these brave bloggers and to ask the international community to demonstrate genuine solidarity with the oppressed people of Cuba."

If this administration cared one iota about human rights issues, I might tend to believe that the congressman's words might not fall upon deaf ears. Unfortunately, it's blatantly apparent that the Obama administration - the same one infested with Marxist, socialist, commies, Maoist, and terrorists - and Obama himself care very little about anyone's rights, human, civil or otherwise.
