Nope, not at all at his bon mots (un peu de la langue française pour “Lurch” who keeps reminding us he speaks French):
“Thank you for joining us at this truly historic moment, as we prepare to raise the United States flag here at our embassy in Havana, symbolizing the re-establishment of diplomatic relations after 54 years. This is also the first time that a United States secretary of state has been to Cuba since 1945. This morning, I feel very much at home here, and I’m grateful to those who have come to share in this ceremony who are standing around outside of our facilities. And I feel at home here because this is truly a memorable occasion, a day for pushing aside old barriers and exploring new possibilities.”
What American feels “at home” in a communist country? I’m wondering if he wasn’t just a bit sad that he didn’t have any more medals left to throw over the wall from US sovereign soil (the embassy) to Cuba’s communist soil…
