No, he's a nice man but a poor leader.
He had lots of really nice things to say about Chavez and Castro when they died, for instance. Even if you're left wing, you need to acknowledge they did some pretty awful things to their people as leaders.
- icebraining 8y agoHe had lots of really nice things to say about Chavez and Castro when they died, for instance. Lots of really nice things? What he said about Castro: "We remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country."
- humanrebar 8y agoIt's an odd thing to be fond of visiting with a man with the justified infamy of Castro. He is responsible for human rights violations, escalation of the cold war in the Western Hemisphere, crippling the Cuban economy and any number of other things. But I guess he loved his country. Except for the people he exiled to the U.S. I guess.
- icebraining 8y ago"He is responsible for human rights violations, escalation of the cold war in the Western Hemisphere, crippling the Cuban economy" Those would indeed be funny accusations for an ex-POTUS to make.
- humanrebar 8y agoWell, he could have not cozied up to dictators and avoided the whole issue.
