TV Crews Outnumber Protestors at Versailles As Obama and Castro Normalize Relations


TV Crews Outnumber Protestors at Versailles As Obama and Castro Normalize Relations

As President Obama preps for a noon announcement about a new era of U.S. and Cuba relations, TV crews from around the nation did the predictable: They descended on Versailles Cafe, long the hotbed of anti-Castro protests in Miami.
So far, at least, they haven't had much to broadcast home. As of 11:30, just a handful of sign-waving protestors are surrounded by dozens of TV crews and reporters.

The only real action to film so far came from a lone trio waving anti-Obama signs and chanting "Coward, coward, coward, Obama, coward!" Periodically, the chants stopped so they could give a Spanish-language interview to a TV crew.
