Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh sent out a stark message to listeners during his recent broadcast, referring to the president’s recent announcement about normalizing relations with Cuba and calling the move “chump change” to what’s coming.

“I have warned all of you people,” he said, Politico reported. “I have warned you that these two years of the Obama administration are going to actually be what he would have done if he’d had total control and did not have to worry about the Constitution for the first two years.”

Mr. Obama’s push to open trade with Cuba and invite in diplomatic relations is upsetting many in the conservative camp who say the the Castro regime is still committing massive human rights violations. Many also accuse the president of overreaching his rightful executive role in granting Cuba the amicable outreach.

“This is just the beginning,” Mr. Limbaugh said. “This is just a teaser, appetizer, for what is on tap the next two years. Everything Obama thinks this country’s guilty of and needs to apologize for, he’s going to take care of.”
