background and congress, are there examples he tried to model his career both of cubin background in cuba or in the united states that he looked to try to emulate? >> that's a very good question and before i answer that specifically, i want to tell you a little story. in 2004 on the night of the presidential election, i was the bureau chief for the post in miami at that time and a bunch of reporters had come into town from other papers and everybody filed their stories, and a group of us gathered at my house, and i said we are not going to sit around here. let's go down to little havana. so the sort of focal point of the republican right in the cuban community is this restaurant called oversight. it's a very famous restaurant, and every politician goes over there and it's for everybody hangs out. so on this side of the street that riverside was the world these people waving flags and so we walked through that side of the street and talked to people because we are reporters and that's what we do. so we asked people why? because he's going to get castro. he's going to be tough on him.
