As the fate of the Guantanamo Bay detention facility for terrorism suspects dangles in the wind awaiting President Obama's decision, the Pentagon has made it clear that the controversial U.S. Navy base, seaport and airstrip in Cuba - the only strategic U.S. military installation in the Caribbean - will continue to function in full operation, as will its McDonald's, Taco Bell and Starbucks.
Libertarian National Committee Chairman William Redpath charged: "President Obama has accomplished at least one thing with GM's bankruptcy: a transfer of tremendous wealth from GM's lenders & U.S. taxpayers to the United Auto Workers union that supported his election."
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.
