In a 1,500-word "letter" published in state media, the 89-year-old leader of the Cuban revolution and brother of the current president, declared: “We don’t need the empire to give us any presents.”
POTUS' visit and speech given in Cuba has given Fidel Castro new material from which to reassert himself. A platform to address the evil he sees as the "Empire" of democracy.
POTUS' speech is viewed by Cuban refugees not to be a political gain but to be a political slap in the face. They believe that negotiating with Cuba is an insult because the government is not being held accountable for all of the human rights violations it has perpetrated. They want to remind us that they have not had a free Presidential election since Castro came to power. POTUS acknowledged this with a single line from his speech, "you deserve life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness too."

I agree with TSgt Kenneth Ellis, Obama will be dubbed by the blind libs as the "savior of Cuba," yet what does Cuba really get? Maybe a McDonalds? It was a sad manipulation of media, nothing more.

I find it interesting also that His last two visits to Viet Nam and also Cuba were to Communist countries. Seems also that money expended tends to go to other countries that sponsor terrorism or support terrorist against those countries. Guess there doesn't appear to be much interest in helping countries that actually are allied with of friendly to the United States. There seems to be something very wrong with this picture !

I never thought I'd one day thank Fidel Castro, but I must. For all those who have criticized American diplomatic policy towards Cuba, maybe now they'll see that even the Cuban tyrant would prefer the status quo. (I think it helps him retain his grip on that poor society) Why not let him stew in his own mess and we'll revisit Cuba when Cubans are ready to welcome us. Remember, no one can give another freedom. They must take it.
