President Barack
Obama made a surprise appearance Friday to announce that his chief spokesman
Jay Carney is leaving his post behind the podium. Obama called Carney one of
his closest advisers and friends at the White House in remarks to the press in the
White House briefing room. "In April, Jay came to me in the Oval Office
and said that he was thinking of moving on, and I was not thrilled, to say the
least," he said. "But Jay has had to wrestle with this decision for
quite some time."

"I will continue to rely on him as a friend and an adviser after he
leaves to spend as much of his summer as he can with his kids before he decides
what's next for him," he added. "Whatever it is, I know he's going to
be outstanding at it."
Carney, who has served as press secretary for over three years, called
holding the job "an honor and a joy for me."Obama announced that
communications deputy Josh Earnest will take over the job as the president's
press secretary. "Today the flak jacket is officially passed to a new generation,"
he said of Earnest.

ERIC SHINSEKI’S LONG GOODBYE
With nearly
every endangered Democrat panicking over the interim Inspector General report
on the Department of Veterans Affairs, the calls for VA Secretary Eric Shinseki
to resign have become deafening. It’s sad and pathetic to watch his long
goodbye play out in Washington as an entirely
political soap opera that has little to do with the outrageous
treatment of veterans on his watch. This is pure election-year politics,
clashing with Barack Obama’s conviction that he can outlast any scandal as long
as he admits no error and fires no one.
The idea
that it took that interim IG report (“interim” is a Latin word that means
“before the election”) to trigger a Democrat stampede is outrageous, and should
bring military vets, and those who love and respect them, to the polls in droves to vote Democrats out
of office in November. Contrary to Obama’s pitiful spin attempts, there
is no question that these awful deeds took place at VA clinics. Reports
about those doctored wait lists have been in the hands of top officials since
last year. Endangered Democrats in purple and red states
only started yelling for Shinseki’s scalp when they performed a political calculation and
realized the public was now fully engaged and furious.
The
Democrats are the party of bureaucratic inertia and bloat; the part of politics
over all; the party of government by, of, and for the government. They
are the creators and defenders of the zero-accountability culture that produced
the VA nightmare, and whose echoes can be seen everywhere from the Department
of Health and Human Services to the politicized Justice Department and IRS.
Nothing’s going to change at the VA, or anywhere else in this corrupt
government, as long as the Democrat Party holds power. They’re proving it
to you, right now, by the way they’re handling Shinseki… and if you need more
proof, just wait until he leaves, and all those Democrats begin screaming in
unison that the scandal is over, his scalp is good enough, let’s not dwell on
the past, anyone who thinks more dramatic action is necessary is just
politicizing the issue, how dare you
ask about Barack Obama’s role in all this…
Michael
Gerson at the Washington
Post thinks the VA scandal is “sticking”
because it represents “the Obama Administration in sum and miniature:
incompetent management of a health system, defended by crude media
manipulation.” He cites as evidence of the latter Obama’s astonishing
attempt to pawn of the scheduled retirement of a VA official as though it were
the sacking someone held responsible for the scandal, and White House
spokesman Jay Carney’s even more astonishing willingness to repeatedly
misrepresent the American Legion’s opinion on how the VA situation was being
handled.
But Team
Obama doesn’t just ineptly manage health care; they’re incompetent at everything,
they politicize everything, and when they get caught, they use the same tactics
to manipulate an extremely supportive media and evade responsibility.
That little scam Obama pulled when he pretended to sack a VA official who
was already retiring – in fact, Obama had already announced his replacement! –
is exactly the
same tactic he used in the early days of the IRS scandal. The same story
plays out with this President and his Party, over and over again.
“The VA
health system is unapologetically socialized medicine, in a way that Obamacare
(for all its faults) is not,” Gerson argues. ”But for the administration,
the scandal is an inconvenient public reminder that the centralization of
government power in health care has inherent dangers.” It’s worse than
that, because ObamaCare was always secretly intended to fail and drive America
into a single-payer socialized horror, and it’s not really a secret anymore;
beginning a few weeks after the October launch disaster, Democrats began openly
talking about how single-payer was the only way to “solve” the problems with
the ObamaCare disaster they foisted on us. If you want to stop our slide
into an endless tragedy where all
of us are stuck with a system as corrupt and inefficient as
the VA, you need to burn Democrats out of office in 2014 and 2016, in historic
numbers. A vote against the Democrats in your district is the only way
you can head off that fate. (Alas, a couple of electoral tidal waves are
also the only way American voters can stiffen the spines of Republicans enough
to get something done.)
Meanwhile,
we’re sitting through the absurd spectacle of Democrats jumping on the Eric
Shinseki Must Go bandwagon, one at a time, as they get a look at terrifying
internal polls and read stomach-churning news reports. The media is
running breathless reports of Obama’s current mood, the same way old-time soap
operas would conclude with breathless voice-overs asking if Brent had finally
gone so far that Lucinda couldn’t love him any more. Current
update on King
Barack’s mood: “One administration official told NBC News Thursday that
Secretary Shinseki is “on thin ice” in the wake of the latest reports of VA
hospital mismanagement.” How many dead veterans will it take before the
ice cracks under Shinseki, and Obama does what he should have done days ago?
And we get
soapy updates on the latest Democrat to declare him or herself “troubled” by
the interim VA report, and call for Shinseki’s ouster. It’s up to “nearly
a dozen Democratic senators” according to Fox
News:
Sen. Mark
Warner, D-Va., among the latest Democrats to break ranks with the
administration, said the controversy over the secretary has drawn attention
away from the “real issue” of the need to reform the VA.
“Gen.
Shinseki has served our country with distinction,” Warner said in a statement.
“I now believe he should step aside in order to allow our focus and our efforts
to be on making the critically needed changes to fix the VA.”
Sen.
Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., on Thursday also called on Obama to appoint a new
secretary, saying veterans “deserve nothing less than the very best service our
nation has to offer.”
More
broadly, lawmakers want the president to get more deeply engaged in cleaning up
the VA.
The
administration is still awaiting a final IG report as well as the results of a
separate internal review. Shinseki released a statement on Wednesday calling
the latest findings “reprehensible,” but did not offer his resignation.
Yes, after five years of inaction, and two years of refusing to meet
with his VA Secretary, Obama will finally get “deeply engaged in cleaning up
the VA”… once he sees a few more reports, of course. Just to show they’re
extra super-duper “troubled” by his failures, Democrats should insist that
Shinseki leave Washington in one of those dorky Google self-driving cars,
puttering past the Beltway into the bitter darkness of flyover country at 20
miles per hour.
Of course,
not all Democrats
think Shinseki should resign. Check out this inspiring profile in
leadership from Sen. Mark Pryor of Arkansas, who apparently thinks there are
still questions about just how widespread the problems at the VA might be,
courtesy of the Associated
Press:
“In terms
of Shinseki’s resignation, my view on that is not yet,” Pryor told reporters
after a round-table discussion on student loans. “I’m not going to call for
that yet.”
Pryor
called the treatment delays “inexcusable” but said he wants more details about
what Shinseki knew and how widespread the problems are within the VA system.
Pryor said he also wants to know whether similar problems exist at veterans’
facilities in Arkansas.
“I want to
see how widespread this is, I want to see what else is going on there, I want
to get inside the numbers a little bit, not just the big top-line number,”
Pryor said. “This is a very serious problem for the veterans administration,
and I think over time we’re going to have to see a lot of changes there. That
may include changing the secretary and obviously it’s going to include changing
a lot of people in Phoenix.”
Pryor’s
Republican challenger, U.S. Rep. Tom Cotton, has called for Shinseki to step
down and has accused Pryor of being silent on the issue. Pryor’s campaign has
accused Cotton of trying to exploit the treatment delays for political gain.
Cotton’s campaign had criticized Pryor earlier Thursday for not calling for
Shinseki’s resignation.

student loans in Little Rock, Ark., Thursday, May 29, 2014. (AP Photo/Danny
Johnston)
“It’s also
past time for Senator Pryor to join Tom Cotton and members of Congress from
both parties in calling on Secretary Shinseki to resign,” Cotton campaign
manager Justin Brasell said in a statement.
Give Senator
Pryor a few more years to collate data, and he might just be ready to
tentatively venture an opinion that maybe the man who fell asleep at the switch
while clinics across the country were
falsifying treatment data should think about packing it in.
Meanwhile,
the second highest-ranking Democrat in the House, Steny Hoyer, is worried about
how unionized federal employees might be inconvenienced by turbulence at the
VA. No, seriously, he really said that. From the Washington
Examiner:
Hoyer said
that while any wrong-doers within the VA must be held accountable, it’s
imperative that accused employees be given due process and that innocent
federal workers aren’t needlessly punished as a knee-jerk reaction.
“I don’t
think that serving veterans is antithetical to making sure that employees of
the federal government have the civil service protections that were adopted as
long ago as the Pendleton [Civil Service Reform] Act in the 19th Century,” said
Hoyer, whose district includes a large number of federal workers.
“Our civil
service system is designed not to be a system where people serve at the will of
those who win elections. It’s a professional civil service [that is]
protected.”
Like I said:
the VA scandal is a Democrat Party scandal. It’s ludicrous to keep Shinseki at
his post, not because he’s a bad guy who should be made to suffer, but because
there is no reason to believe the Secretary who allowed all this to occur is
the right leader to implement reforms. Also, only by holding the top
people accountable can such bureaucratic nightmares be avoided. Why
should any Big Government grandee work up a sweat managing his department, when
he knows he’s got a pretty good chance of surviving any scandal that might
occur… maybe even with increased funding, which is the Democrats’ solution to
everything, including the VA outrage? Shinseki doesn’t have to be tarred
and feathered, but it’s been painfully obvious from Day One that he has to go, so that his
successor – and every other high government official – knows his career is
directly tied to timely and effective performance of his duties. It
should be necessary to explain this to any adult American, let alone an entire
political Party.
Let’s finish up with a little bonus outrage, as Democrat campaign
consultant Bill Burton explains to CNN’s Jake Tapper that replacing Shinseki
would be too much work for poor President Obama, because the Republicans would
make confirmation hearings for his replacement tough. Burton’s not an
elected official… but do you find it unlikely that many inside the Obama White
House, and across the Democrat Party, think like he does?
Update: Secretary Shinseki took another stab at
apologizing for the scandal on Friday, as reported by The
Hill:
“I
apologize as the senior leader of Veterans Affairs,” he said at the National
Coalition for Homeless Veterans 2014
conference Friday morning. ”That breach of integrity is
irresponsible, it is indefensible and unacceptable to me.”
“I also offer that apology to members of Congress who
have supported me, to veteran service organizations who have been my partners
for five years, and to the American people. All of them, all of them
deserve better from the VA.”
Shinseki
is set to meet with President Obama at the White House this morning to give him
“an update” on the situation at the VA, according to the White House.
The
meeting comes amid widespread speculation that Shinseki could be fired by the
president.
Shinseki
accepted some blame on Friday for the problems, saying he had been too trusting
of subordinates.
“I was too
trusting of some, and I accepted as accurate reports that I now know to be
misleading with regard to patient wait times,” he said.
“I can’t
explain the lack of integrity amongst some of the leaders of our health care
facilities. This is something I rarely encountered during 38 years in uniform.
“And so I
will not defend it, because it is indefensible. I can take responsibility for
it, and I do,” he said.
“So given
the facts I now know, I apologize as the senior leader of the Department of
Veterans Affairs. I extend that apology to the people I care most deeply
about, and that’s veterans of this great country, to their families and loved
ones who I have been honored to serve for over five years now — it’s the call
of a lifetime.”
That’s not an apology, it’s a letter of resignation… but he still hasn’t
resigned. This is far from the first time an Obama Administration
official has offered a “defense” that any previous generation would have
expected to hear during an exit interview.
Update: After Obama dragged the nation through
this political farce for weeks, Eric Shinseki finally offered his resignation
late Friday morning.
Update: President Obama’s statement on Shinseki’s
resignation was… rather amazing. I might go into it at greater length in
another post today, but in brief, he just kept talking, and talking, and
talking… until he went completely off the rails, characterizing the VA scandal
as some sort of computer glitch caused by outmoded equipment, rather than the
deliberate deletion of records by corrupt officials. He mourned
Shinseki’s departure until it became clear to even the most dedicated Obama
sycophant that the VA Secretary is only leaving because Obama’s party had a
heart attack over the media coverage; not a drop of presumed presidential
“leadership” remained hanging in the air when the President was done. And
of course, Obama thinks the only real problem with the VA is that it needs more
money. It was more like a psychotic break than a press conference, and my
guess is that it’s going to absolutely enrage veterans,
their families, and every American who cares about them.
Obama and
his Empire of Lies
President obama
announced Friday that embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary, Eric
Shinseki, would resign his position -- effectively becoming the fall guy for a
VA scandal that is quickly turning into a full blown political storm.
Shinseki, in his departure, said "I will not defend it, because it is
indefensible." Let's hope that came from the heart and was not
simple political rhetoric.
No sooner did the
news Shinseki had resigned his position at the VA did another resignation hit
the airwaves, this time by the White House spokesperson Jay Carney.
Some say Mike Rowe
has the dirtiest job in America. Lying, day in and day out, is a pretty
messy job too. Unless of course you don't have a conscience, then it's
just a really really cool job.
In the world of politics,
internal bad news and personal apologies generally come on Friday.
It's a tactical play. The vast majority of the American people are
working, then looking forward to the weekend for relief, and not to what's on
the news.
Friday is a slow
news day, people are planning and packing and traveling on
Friday. Saturday and Sunday are all about fun and
family. The pundits and media and politicians all know this, and they use
it to their advantage. They bank on the fact that after a relaxing
weekend, the bad news has fizzled from the small explosion on
Friday to a smoldering page 3 story by Monday. This allows
those taking the heat to see the flames go out before they scorch any real
political territory -- namely the President's back side.
The big question for
me is whether or not White House Press Secretary Jay Carney is stepping down as
the spokesman for President Obama to protect the President, or because he can
no longer stomach being the Joseph Goebbels (Minister of Propaganda in
Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945) of this Administration.
No doubt one of the
toughest jobs in all of politics -- let alone Washington. Lying to the
American press and the American people not on a daily basis, but on an issue by
issue basis, that has to wear a guy down.
Did Jay Carney, a
media insider in his own right, (whose is married to Claire Shipman, a
senior correspondent at ABC News) love the position as grand wizard of the
drive by media? No one can deny it's a powerful and important
position. Who wouldn't want to daily give the marching orders to the foot
soldiers of liberalism, the American press?
On the other hand,
perhaps things are changing and too many are asking tough questions rather than
simply being the good flock and taking the talking points to the streets by
turning them into news stories?
I can only imagine
how stressful a job it must have been. I think Jay has a little sliver of
conscience left, although I imagine the rest is pretty calloused over or rotted
through. But somehow a little prick must have gotten to what little
tenderness was still exposed. With the Obama White House scandal tally
possibly surpassing that of former President Bill Clinton, I think Carney could
take no more and still sleep at night.
Will Josh Earnest be
as good and faithful a servant to the
undermining of America? Will Josh Earnest be more or less forthcoming
with the truths of all these scandals?
President Obama says
the buck stops with him. That he takes full responsibility for all that
goes on within his administration. Let us see what the next few weeks
brings. If the past is any guide to the future, the President won't take
any credit for anything bad and will do everything in his power to manipulate
the press into believing he too, like all the veterans attempting to get VA
services and those who have died, is also a victim.
Game over, Mr.
President. At the end of the day, when we tally up the score, life serves
up very few victims. Our veterans are surely victims of this
administration and will always deserve the best we have to offer them (rather
than wasting millions on soccer stadiums at Gitmo for the enemy jihadist they
were once fighting).
But it does have
scads of volunteers -- who refuse to see the signs or heed the warnings and
walk into the buzz-saw of life, and then rely upon the compassion of others to
pity them as victims. But truth be told. The biggest victim over the past
six years of this Presidency was the truth.
White House spokesman
is no doubt a tough job, you must have a broad understanding of the
administrations vision, current and past policy, as well as domestic and global
issues. But what makes it almost impossible to do over the long haul, is
when you have to do it by lying to the American people day in and day out, then
go home and look at yourself in the mirror.
Telling the truth
should never be a difficult job. It's high time Carney and his forked
tongue hit the road. With the high crimes and misdemeanors this
administration has perpetrated against the American people (and most importantly
their veterans), perhaps it's time Congress grew a spine and cranked up those
impeachment proceedings and sent Barack packing a couple of years early … and
six years too late.

Trump: ‘Clown’
Obama ‘The Biggest Liar I Know’
Teasing his audience, once again, with indications
that he might be the man to succeed the president,
Donald Trump declared to the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans
that “Barack Obama is a clown” and the “biggest liar I know,” drawing strong
applause.
“We have a man in the White House who doesn’t have a
clue,” said the billionaire real estate developer, who toyed with vying for the
2012 Republican Party presidential nomination.
Trump also noted it appears that Obama
does not enjoy being president.
“It seems to me that Obama can’t wait to
get out of the White House so he can go play golf. He doesn’t have the right
instincts to be president. He isn’t tenacious and he isn’t tough,” he said.
Is Trump, then, the man with the instincts
and tenacity needed to succeed in the Oval Office?
Clearly, he believes he’s qualified, as
evidenced by his closing remarks, but he seems content with his current
situation.
“I like my job,” Trump told the Republican activists.
“I’m making lots of money, and I’m not looking for a new job. I’m a very
conservative person and I love the tea party.”

Obama SNAPS when
Reporter Dares to Ask a Question
President
obama is often referred to by his fawning media as one “cool customer.” At a
recent press event, he must have forgotten how “cool” he was supposed to be –
because he
snapped when asked a simple (but important) question by a reporter
covering the event.
“I’m sorry, we’re doing a science fair- c’mon,
c’mon!”
President
Obama lost his cool with Alexis Simendinger, a reporter with Real Clear
Politics, when she asked him about reports of the US sending people in to help
train the rebels in Syria. He responded to her question with a glare and then
saying “I’m sorry, we’re doing a science
fair- c’mon, c’mon,” before he stomped off like some kind of
petulant child.
The Obama
administration continues to be the
least transparent administration EVER. The President answers questions from
the press about as often as we see Halley’s Comet. When he does choose to grace
the press with his presence – the questions
are choreographed and the
president has had time to prepare a politically acceptable response.
Sadly,
our watchdog media does nothing to fix the problem. They simply continue to bow
to the White House as if responding to the very call of God Himself. The media
have become idol worshippers.

Obama announces
Shinseki resignation FoxNews.com
President
Obama announced Friday that embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki
will resign, bowing to pressure from members of both parties amid a rapidly
growing scandal over veterans' health care.
"A
few minutes ago, Secretary Shinseki offered me his own resignation. With
considerable regret, I accepted," Obama said, after meeting with Shinseki
at the White House.
ORIGINAL
STORY ...
President
Obama plans to deliver a statement at the White House after meeting with
embattled Veterans Affairs Secretary Eric Shinseki.
The
president is expected to speak at 11:15 a.m. ET.
The
statement comes after a private meeting where the two were having what the
president described as a "serious conversation" about whether
Shinseki can stay in the job. Obama, in an interview, said he planned to ask
Shinseki whether he was "prepared and has the capacity" to fix
sweeping problems in the VA's nationwide health care system.
The
president has faced mounting calls from members of both parties to remove
Shinseki. Shinseki suffered another blow on Friday when Rep. Tammy Duckworth,
D-Ill., a former top VA official, called for her former boss'
resignation.
Earlier
Friday morning, Shinseki publicly apologized for the failures in the VA system,
while stopping short of offering his resignation. However, responding to an
interim inspector general report which found "systemic" problems with
clinics lying about patient wait times, Shinseki announced he would oust senior
leaders at the Phoenix VA, where allegations of improper scheduling practices
first surfaced.
Shinseki,
speaking to advocates for homeless veterans, said he initially believed the
problems were "limited and isolated."
"I
no longer believe that. It is systemic," Shinseki said. "I will not
defend it, because it is indefensible."
The
secretary's tone shifted dramatically compared with his testimony before a
congressional committee earlier this month, when he continued to defend the VA
system. On Friday, citing the IG report, he lamented a "totally
unacceptable lack of integrity" at numerous VA facilities -- where reviews
have found workers were manipulating wait times to make their internal figures
look good.
Shinseki
said the "lack of integrity" is something he has "rarely
encountered." He announced several steps to address the situation, short
of resignation, including directing that patient wait times no longer be used
as a measure of success in employee evaluations.
Obama's
comments about his "serious conversation" came in an interview airing
Friday on the television talk show "Live! With Kelly and Michael." A
clip from the interview was aired Friday on ABC's Good Morning America.
AMENPER: Como
Echarle la Culpa a Otro
Me intriga como el
ser humano siempre quiere descargar sus culpas en otros y excusar sus
limitaciones en los demás. Lo vemos con los que no toman en
consideración el tiempo que necesitan para llegar una cita, y nos molestan
tocando el claxon porque no reaccionamos a una fracción de un segundo en
avanzar cuando cambia el semáforo.
Alguien dijo que
la política es el arte de
buscar problemas, encontrarlos, hacer un diagnostico falso y aplicar después
los remedios equivocados y echarle la culpa a otros del resultado.
Creo
que esto define a la administración de Obama. Nos dicen ahora
asombrados que el director de salud de los veteranos está despidiendo a tantas
personas para excusar su responsabilidad.
Bueno
pero esto lo aprendió del máximo dignatario, el piensa que si lo puede hacer
Obama ¿por qué no lo puede hacer él?
Obama
es como el mal medico que cuando se equivoca le echa tierra al asunto. Nada es
su culpa, nada sabía, es el presidente más ignorante que ha existido según sus
propias afirmaciones.
Echarle
la culpa a otro puede parecer inteligente, pero la culpabilidad siempre sale a
flote tarde o temprano.
Los
recipientes de las culpa de los problemas y variados son muchos, el primero y
más usado fue George W. Bush, con el tiempo todavía lo usa, pero ahora los
favoritos son Fox News, los ricos y el congreso Republicano.
Pero
hay muchos más que podemos mencionar, algunos como El Tea
Party, "mala suerte con la web del Obamacare" Incentivos fiscales,
Primavera árabe, terremoto de Japón, Globalización, tecnologías de
Automatización, crisis económicas de Europa, cambio climático, uso
de cajeros automáticos, los quioscos automáticos para tickets en el aeropuerto,
especuladores de petróleo, subestimación de la crisis
económica???? Que la empresa privada no apoye sus proyectos
ecológicos como la energía solar, los molinos de viento y combustible de algas
marinas. Y mi favorito que los Estadounidenses se están volviendo
blandos y perezosos. Parece que el mide a todos por su persona.
Entonces,
¿qué nos queda? ¿Cuales son las excusas que quedan? Alineamientos planetarios?
¿Las profecías equivocadas de los Babalaos? ¿O la falsedad de la profecía Maya
del fin del mundo en el 2012?
Creo
que en los dos años que nos quedan, quizás veamos nuevas y originales estas
excusas a las nuevas crisis que se le ocurran a la mente fértil del
Descargador en Jefe.

"DHS
secretary asks to study Obama administration immigration releases
WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Jeh
Johnson is asking for an internal review of the Obama administration's release
of tens of thousands of immigrants in the country illegally who were
convicted of crimes and facing deportation. He's telling lawmakers he wants a
deeper understanding of the issue.
Federal data published this month showed that the
Homeland Security Department released 36,007 convicted
criminal immigrants last year who are facing deportation, including
those accounting for 193 homicide and 426 sexual assault convictions. The immigrants nearly
all still face deportation and are required to check in
withimmigration authorities while their deportation cases are pending
News of the releases, which came amid an ongoing
review of the Obama administration's deportation policies, incensed Republican
lawmakers who contend that President Barack Obama has not properly
enforcedimmigration laws. The House Judiciary Committee chairman, Rep. Bob
Goodlatte, R-Va., said the releases "needlessly endanger Americans'
lives."
In testimony sent to Congress ahead of a hearing by
the committee Thursday, Johnson said he was "committed to enforcing
our immigration laws in a manner that best promotes and ensures
national security, public safety and border security." He said he has
asked for a "deeper understanding" of the releases, and he pledged to
continue to work with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to
ensure public safety.
Johnson said many of the releases were directed by
an immigration judge or were prompted by other legal requirements.
His written testimony did not provide additional details.
The White House said this week it asked Johnson to
delay completing his review of deportation policies until the end of the
summer. It was a move aimed at salvaging hope for Congress to act on
an immigration bill before November's midterm elections."

Nestor Dan: UN MILLON DE MUERTOS Y LOS
PAPAS LOS BENDICEN
Hoy
por la mañana al leer los obituarios del Times Picayune, diario de New Orleans,
vi los obituarios de 3 cubanos:
1)
Jorge Aguilera
2)
José L. "Cheo" Silva
3)
Juan L. "Johnny" Washington
De
los 3 al único que creo haber conocido es al Dr. Juan Washington. A Johnny lo
conocí en La Habana en el año 1957 cuando fue el medico pediatra de mi hijo
Carlos y al año siguiente de mi hija María del Carmen. Después lo volví a ver
en el año 1961 cuando ambos coincidimos en elegir a New Orleans como nuestra
residencia de exiliados. Hoy me acabo de enterar de su fallecimiento a los 86
años de edad.
En
estos 50 años de Dictadura Castro-Comunista, día a día, han muerto en el exilio
mas de UN MILLON de Cubanos sin contar los miles que han sido asesinados
por la Tiranía de los hermanos Fidel y Raúl Castro.
En
ningún país del hemisferio occidental ha existido otro gobierno qye causara
tanto daño a su país. Económicamente la Tiranía de los hermanos Fidel y Raúl Castro
ha destrozado a nuestra República. Moralmente han prostituido al Pueblo Cubano.
No
quiero referirme a nuestros hermanos (?) hispanoamericanos que ven como con su
inercia e indiferencia ven con temor como el estiércol proveniente de Cuba se
va extendiendo por sus propios países.
Lo
que si me hace vibrar de cólera es ver a los Papas visitando nuestra Isla para
darle la bendición a los Tiranos bañados con la sangre de tantos buenos
Cubanos. Hay algunas personas que dicen que hay que perdonar. Lo que a mí me
enseñaron los buenos sacerdotes Jesuitas en al antiguo Colegio de Belén en Cuba
era que para que una persona fuera perdonada de sus pecados esa persona tenía
que mostrar espíritu de arrepentimiento y propósito de enmienda.
Los
Tiranos Cubanos, Fidel y Raúl Castro no han demostrado tener espíritu de arrepentimiento
ni propósito de enmienda. Siguen asesinando, oprimiendo y destruyendo al
Pueblo de Cuba. Le pido a Dios Nuestro Señor que perdone a estos Papas cuando
ellos se arrepientan de lo que han hecho;
Cuando
esos Papas se arrepientan entonces el valiente sacerdote Cubano Ismael Testé
podrá descansar en paz. Cuando los niños Cubanos no sean adoctrinados a ser
como el asesino Argentino Ernesto Che Guevara, entonces las visitas Papales
serán bienvenidas en una Cuba Libre, Independiente y Soberana y el mas de UN
MILLON de muertos en el Exilio podrán descansar en Paz.

Rolando Cardenas y Nestor Dan: Cuba Antes que la PANDILLA CASTRISTA se apoderara de ella.Según la ONU, la OMS y la OIT
Desde los primeros días del triunfo
revolucionario de 1959, en Cuba, tras la huida del dictador Fulgencio Batista,
se inició un progresivo control gubernamental de los medios informativos, hecho
que estuvo acompañado de una campaña propagandística sin precedente en la
historia de la isla.
Alentada no sólo por los medios oficiales de
prensa internos sino también porRadio Habana Cuba, emisora estatal que
transmite para el extranjero en decenas de idiomas, y la agencia oficial Prensa Latina, la campaña hizo
un énfasis especial en la miseria que supuestamente vivía la isla antes de la
era revolucionaria, y el control económico que ejercía sobre ella Estados
Unidos.
Ante los ojos de quienes no tenían a mano
cifras concretas, Cuba había sido prácticamente un burdel manejado por
Washington.
Por supuesto, Cuba no era un país
desarrollado, ni las riquezas se distribuían necesariamente de manera
equitativa -tampoco se han distribuido así durante el período
marxista-leninista-, pero en 1958 sólo el 14% del capital total invertido en la
isla era norteamericano. El 62% de los bienes de la industria azucarera, el
principal renglón de la economía nacional, era propiedad de cubanos en ese
mismo año.
En 1953, Cuba ocupaba el número 22 en el mundo
en médicos por habitantes, con 128.6 por cada 100 mil. Su tasa de mortalidad
era de 5.8 -tercer lugar en el mundo-, mientras que la de Estados Unidos era de
9.5 y la de Canadá de 7.6. A fines de los 50, la isla tenía la tasa de
mortalidad infantil más baja de América Latina con 3.76, seguida por Argentina
con 6.11, Venezuela 6.56 y Uruguay 7.30, según datos de la Organización Mundial
de la Salud.
Cuba ocupaba el lugar número 33 entre 112
naciones del mundo en cuanto a nivel de lectura diaria, con 101 ejemplares de
periódicos por cada mil habitantes, lo cual también contradice el argumento de
que el país estaba formado por un gran número de analfabetos.
Tan sólo en materia de artículos suntuarios,
Cuba poseía en 1959 un radio por cada cinco habitantes, un televisor por cada
28, un teléfono por cada 38 y un automóvil por cada 40 habitantes, según el Anuario Estadístico de Naciones Unidas.
De hecho, inclusive los más importantes
escritores y artistas cubanos, reconocidos internacionalmente, habían hecho ya
lo más importante de su obra antes de la llegada de Castro al poder. Entre
éstos, sin importar su posición política, estaban José Lezama Lima,
probablemente el hombre de letras más relevante de Cuba del siglo XX; el poeta
y dramaturgo Virgilio Piñera, que revolucionó el teatro cubano con el estreno
deElectra Garrigó en 1948,
dos años antes de que el franco-rumano Eugenio Ionesco, padre del teatro del
absurdo, estrenara en ParísLa soprano calva; los pintores Amelia Peláez,
René Portocarrero, Wilfredo Lam y otros tantos; el novelista Alejo Carpentier,
autor de El siglo de las luces;
el poeta Nicolás Guillén; la bailarina Alicia Alonso; y, por supuesto, un
número extraordinario de compositores e intérpretes de la música popular como
Ernesto Lecuona, Amadeo Roldán, Alejandro García Caturla, el Trío Matamoros,
Sindo Garay, Eliseo Grenet, Hubert de Blank, Benny Moré, Dámaso Pérez Prado y
muchos más.
He aquí algunos datos relacionados con la
salud pública, el sector laboral y la educación:
Salud Pública:
Salud Pública:
En 1958, Cuba tenía una población de 6,
630.921 habitantes. En esa época, había en la isla 35 mil camas de hospitales,
un promedio de una cama por cada 190 habitantes, cifra que excedía la meta de
los países desarrollados de esa época de 200 personas por cama de hospital. En
1960, Estados Unidos tenía una cama de hospital por cada 109 habitantes.
También ese año, la nación tenía un promedio
de un médico por cada 980 habitantes, superada en América Latina sólo por
Argentina con uno por cada 760 y Uruguay con uno por cada 860. Tenía un
destista por cada 2.978.
Estos datos se encuentran en el Anuario Estadístico de la ONU de su época.
Relaciones
Laborales:
En 1958, un trabajador industrial cubano
ganaba un salario promedio de 6 dólares diarios por jornada de ocho horas,
mientras que un trabajador agrícola, en el mismo período, ganaba 3 dólares.
Cuba ocupaba el lugar número 8 en el mundo en
el pago de salarios a trabajadores industriales, superada sólo por los
siguientes países:
1.- Estados Unidos ($16.80)
2.- Canadá ($11.73)
3.- Suecia ($8.10)
4.- Suiza ($8.00)
5.- Nueva Zelanda ($6.72)
6.- Dinamarca ($6.46)
7.- Noruega ($6.10)
En el renglón de los salarios a trabajadores
agrícolas, Cuba ocupaba el lugar número 7 en el mundo, superada sólo por los
siguientes países:
1.- Canadá ($7.18)
2.- Nueva Zelanda ($6.72)
3.- Australia ($6.61)
4.- Estados Unidos ($6.80)
5.- Suecia ($5.47)
6.- Noruega ($4.38)
Estos datos fueron divulgados por la
Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) en Ginebra, Suiza, en 1960.
En 1958, Cuba contaba con una fuerza laboral
de 2,204.000 trabajadores. La tasa de desempleo de esa fecha era del 7.07%, la
más baja de América Latina, según datos del Ministerio del Trabajo de Cuba.
Educación:
Ese mismo año, Cuba tenía tres universidades
financiadas por el gobierno y otras tres de carácter privado. La matrícula de
las universidades bajo el control del gobierno era de 20 mil estudiantes.
Había 900 escuelas privadas oficialmente
reconocidas, incluyendo las tres universidades privadas, con una matrícula total
que superaba los 100 mil estudiantes.
El sistema de educación pública contaba con
25 mil maestros, y el de la educación privada con 3.500.
A mediados de la década del 50, había 1.206
escuelas rurales en Cuba, así como un sistema de bibliotecas móviles con un
total de 179.738 volúmenes.
También en 1958, Cuba tenía 114 instituciones
de educación superior, por debajo del nivel universitario -institutos, escuelas
politécnicas y escuelas profesionales- financiadas por el gobierno. Sólo en
1957, estas instituciones capacitaron a 38.428 estudiantes.
Había en la isla en 1958, una tasa de
analfabetismo del 18 por ciento.
Estos datos se hallan en los archivos del
Ministerio de Educación de Cuba.
Era el país de América Latina con el mayor
presupuesto dedicado a la educación, en 1958, con el 23% del total, seguido por
Costa Rica, 20%, y Guatemala y Chile con 16%, según América en Cifras, de la Unión
Panamericana.
Entre finales de la década de los 40 y 1958,
el valor de la moneda nacional cubana, el peso, era equivalente al dólar.
En la mayoría de los renglones en que Cuba no
ocupaba el primer lugar en América Latina, en cuanto a calidad de vida, era
superada únicamente por Argentina y Uruguay, según el Anuario Estadístico de Naciones Unidas.
