YouTube star GloZell Green had some salty words for Cuban President Raul Castro during a live YouTube interview on Thursday with President Obama.

“The guy puts the ‘dic’ in dictatorship,” she said, prefacing a question about US relations with Cuba.

Obama chose not to take the bait, and gave an answer about his hopes for a gradual shift toward freedom within Cuba.

After asking Obama about same-sex marriage and his legacy, Green offered the President a parting gift in the form of green lipstick for the first children and “your first wife.”

“My first wife?” Obama replied. “Do you know something I don’t?”
