More hope and change…

“This demonstration is to reject Barack Obama’s militaristic policies,” said a protest organizer.

Update: From Babalu Blog, “President Obama made some statements regarding Cuba during a speech in Chile yesterday…

[J]ust as we defend democracy and human rights within our borders, let’s recommit to defending them across our hemisphere. Every nation will follow its own path, and no nation should ever impose its will on another. But surely we can agree that democracy is about more than majority rule; that simply holding power does not give a leader the right to suppress the rights of others; and that leaders must maintain power through consent, not coercion.

Let’s never waver in our support for the right of people to determine their own future, and that includes the people of Cuba.

Read the whole thing at Babalu Blog.

And let’s hold Obama to his word that “holding power does not give a leader the right to suppress the rights of others…” the next time he does something like…oh…signing an executive order that is in violation of our U.S. Constitution…

Update 2: More from GatewayPundit, Obama Smears Bush While Discussing Libya in Chile.

To which we reply, mais bien sûr! After all, Obama is his name; Blame Bush is his game!
