His older brother just punched him in the mouth instead.
So much for another "historical" deal with yet another third rate power where we got absolutely nothing. We agree to clear the path for billions of dollars of investment into their crumbling infrastructure, not to mention open the way for them to make billions more in tourism spending without getting a thing in return and Fidel still spits in our (his) face. Is it a little clearer why Obama was the first POTUS to set foot in Cuba in decades? Other Presidents could have gone to Cuba if they had wanted to, but wisely chose not to without getting at least some kind of concession from Castro before sucking Cuban dick and doing it in public for all to see.
Next January can't come fast enough. Even Hillary wouldn't have blown it this badly.
Which are all fair points. (Less fair: Castro's claims that "racial discrimination was swept away by the Revolution" when most outsiders agree that racism is still a big problem on the island.)
But the column also points to the main reason Obama didn't meet with Fidel on the trip: Castro's beefs, however rooted in fact, are all touchstones of the Cold War freeze that Obama is trying to chip away at. Obama didn't organize the Bay of Pigs. He never secretly funded Bosch or Carriles. He would end the embargo tomorrow if Congress would let him.
Luckily, based on the reception Obama received — plus the ecstatic crowds that flocked to other Western visitors the Rolling Stones and the Tampa Bay Rays — Fidel's bitching seems about as likely to get a reaction as any other old man yelling at clouds

The President being a black man, messes you up so much. You just can't bring yourself to be honest and look at the whole picture. Just like your leader Trump. Lol
