At a memorial ceremony held in Johannesburg on Tuesday for late South African leader Nelson Mandela, US President Barack Obama made a surprise move on his way to the podium by greeting Cuban President Raul Castro with a long handshake and smile.
Relations between the US and Cuba have been frozen since after Raul's brother Fidel Castro's communist revolution in 1959. The US has maintained sanctions on the communist regime throughout the decades, particularly given Cuba's poor human rights record.
The handshake can be seen here:

Again?
Castro should have had a vibrating buzzer in his hand. That would have been a great picture and gag.
Yeah, but did he tongue-kiss him?
He should retire in Cuba or Iran!
And Bush is booed in SA.....we live in weird times......
We should retire him to Leavenworth. After he is tarred and feathered.
Adolf obozo probably invited Castro for a hot tub dip the next time he’s allowed to be in the US.
2 commies at a commie’s funeral. Commies will be commies.
He also bowed to him
As he bows to every dictator or enemy of the US.
Probably gave him a reach around also.
“Yeah, but did he tongue-kiss him?”
Castro is heterosexual.
He really did bow to him! Not the down low to Prince Saud bow, but a little Japanese-style bow.
Even George HW Bush refused to do that years ago with Fidel.
Now it is the groveler’s turn.
Probably will.
McCain compares it to Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler:
Later, McCain compared the paper boy missing his porch to Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler. And the Redskins’ disappointing season to Chamberlain shaking hands with Hitler.
When the Castros molest my Mom @ the airport, read my daughter’s email and turn on her webcam, bust down my door and shoot my dog, I’ll go back to my old fear and hatred of them. Right now, they don’t matter to us anymore.
