                           CHE GUEVARA POSTER

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, a picture is worth a thousand words. 
This poster shows President Obama with the Che Guevara image behind 
him, coming soon to a T-shirt near you.
  Che was a sadistic murderer and killer who executed Cubans during his 
reign of terror. Che, along with Fidel and Raul Castro, is responsible 
for the suffering, misery, and oppression of the people of Cuba.
  But it seems that some people just don't care. Yesterday President 
Obama said in an interview that he would be happy to meet with Fidel 
Castro, and President Obama believes that Raul Castro ``truly wants 
change in Cuba.''
  Really? What is stopping Castro from holding free and fair elections? 
Let's start with that little change.
  This continued effort to legitimize this regime and its atrocities is 
appalling. It is appalling for those people who love freedom. It is 
appalling for those who have been political prisoners in Castro's 
gulags. It is appalling for those families who have lost their loved 
ones because of this communist regime.
  Today is a sad day, indeed, and this poster says it all. Smile in 
front of Che Guevara. Get the T-shirt now.
