Castro-loving lefty buddies'

Appearing on the Fox Business Network's Cavuto on Business, political
commentator and former game-show host Ben Stein dismissed the economic
implications of normalizing relations with Cuba, calling it a "payoff"
from President Obama to his "old lefty buddies."
Asked by host Neil Cavuto what the US stands to gain by normalizing
relations with the embargoed island nation, Stein responded by saying it
was just Obama making good on a promise to his "buddies" from back in
his "community organizer days."
"This is a payoff to Obama's old lefty buddies, who've always loved
Castro," Stein replied. "The whole thing has no economic significance to
us. It's just a way of saying to his old lefty buddies, from long long
ago community organizer days, 'See I kept my promise to you, I'm going
to be easy on Castro, make friends with Cuba, you can count on me. I'm
still in there with the venceremos brigade.' "
Stein went on to call renewing relations with Cuba after 54 years,
"unbelievable."
Fox Business Network correspondent Charlie Gasparino joined in by
spreading the attack to the New York City Council and Congress, while
calling the current mayor: "Comrade Bill de Blasio."
"If you listen to certain members of the New York City Council, or maybe
even our wonderful mayor, Comrade Bill de Blasio, and even members of
Congress," he claimed. "There's a whole contingent of lefties that think
Cuba is good because they provide socialized medicine, and a few other
perks, for comp in chicken exchange totalitarianism, and they want us to
appease anything they do."
