The conservative blogosphere had a collective melt down after President Barack Obama took a picture in front of a mural of Cuban revolutionary leader Che Guevara on Monday in Havana’s Revolution Plaza.
Conservative websites jumped on the opportunity to criticize the President for posing in front of the infamous image of Guevara, which is based off a picture taken in 1960. Townhall.com called it a “gem of a picture,” while The Washington Examiner wrote that the picture created a “fresh wave of fury.”
The Drudge Report splashed the photo across its homepage with the caption “Mission Accomplished.”
Conservative commentators were also quick to express their shock on Twitter:

Today, in Cuba. To be fair, Obama’s probably been saluting images of the blood-soaked Che Guevara his whole life. pic.twitter.com/5d0nWF8lJJ

Consider the source of the (totally manufactured) outrage! OUTRAGE I TELL YOU!
How DARE HE be President!
What a bunch of pathetic little children the Reich Wing Echo Chamber are.
Go Obama! Keep giving the conservatives heart ATTACKS!
At least he didn’t attend a performance of the Red Detachment of Women…
Fiscal CONs would cut off their $$$$$-grubbing noses to keep making money off Cuba?
