HAVANA — President Raúl Castro declared victory for the Cuban Revolution on Saturday in a wide-ranging speech, thanking President Obama for “a new chapter,” while also reaffirming that restored relations with the United States did not mean the end of Communist rule in Cuba.

This was complete capitulation on Obama’s part.

Why would it. This murderer stands to make even more of a fortune off of it.

Apologies for double post. Feel free to request Mod to remove mine.

Collaboration, really. Nobody would be happier to help affirm Cuba’s communist rule than Obama.

OBAMA DICTATORS BEST FRIEND

[huldah1776]

was there a request from the communists in the administration for anything else?

Mr. Castro, wearing a traditional white shirt called a guayabera and only occasionally gesturing for emphasis, referred repeatedly to Mr. Obama, praising him personally while also emphasizing that with the process of real diplomacy just beginning, “the only way to advance is with mutual respect.”

Real diplomacy? Mutual respect with a GD thug dictator? I assume that means Castro and Obama will 'work out a deal' where the filthy little monster gets American money and a few more apologies.
