"Two advisers with ties to the Elian Gonzalez controversy of eight years ago are causing problems for Barack Obama among some Cuban-Americans in Florida, The Miami Herald reported Thursday. Eight Cuban-American exile organizations are urging three lawmakers who backed Hillary Clinton to demand the Obama campaign remove vice presidential search committee member Eric Holder and foreign policy adviser Greg Craig. The paper’s Web site reports that a letter to Sens. Bill Nelson and Robert Menendez as well as Miami Mayor Manny Diaz says the advisers played “prominent” roles in sending Gonzalez back to Cuba after his mother drowned trying to raft to Miami. “Had it not been for the actions of these two men, lending themselves as instruments to Fidel Castro, Elian could today be enjoying the freedom his mother died to provide for him,” the letter said. A six-year-old Gonzalez found himself wrapped in a legal battle upon his arrival to the U.S. after his father requested him returned to Cuba in 2000. Recently Gonzalez, now 14, joined Cuba’s Young Communist Union and pledges support to the Castro government." elections.foxnews.com
