Fidel Castro and the Morally Obtuse

From President Barack Obama:

At this time of Fidel Castro’s passing, we extend a hand of friendship to the Cuban people. . . . . History will record and judge the enormous impact of this singular figure on the people and world around him.

From the Manhattan Contrarian:

Pathetic. Sorry, but it’s not OK to leave it up to “history” to judge the crimes of this monster. Barack Obama won’t do it, because he is a man of the international Left, and ultimately a supporter of the program of Castro.

From President-elect Donald Trump:

Fidel Castro’s legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.

From the Manhattan Contrarian:

Wow! Do we finally have a President who will stand up to the nonsense that afflicts the world? So far I’m liking what I’m seeing from this guy.
