Alas, I doubt they'll ever denounce him publicly.

What a bunch of hypocritical fools.

If Obama had raised Nixon from the dead and talked the Castros into making Nixon the supreme ruler of Cuba, they would still be furious. They have cried wolf so many times it is shocking to me that anyone still listens to them.

The headline could equally be GOP Blast Pope on Cuba Policy Change....will we see that truth from the media?

Or "GOP call Pope worst negotiater they have ever seen".
