n the eve of President (Obama’s historic visit) to Cuba, authorities there are ordering dissidents invited to meet with the American leader to stay home instead, a leading human rights activist said Saturday.
Elizardo Sanchez, a Cuban anti-government activist who chronicles political detentions month-to-month, said he and most of those invited planned to defy the government order.
Sanchez, speaking by phone from Havana, said U.S. officials were offering to help the activists get to the meeting with Obama, scheduled for Tuesday.
“Everyone is pretty determined,” he said.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S. Embassy in Havana, the White House or the Cuban government.

I’m not sure why they would want to meet with Obama. He’ll probably just lecture them on how great he is and how great Cuba’s social justice is and how it’s a model for the world.
How do you say “Potemkin” in Spanish Cuban?
Do u thik O REALLY wants to meet these people? Remember Soylgenizen coming to the US and wanting a meeting with Ford/Kissinger during detente?
Raul Castro has no more loyalty to his fellow communist than Fidel had. Barack is being denied a photo op, while Raul still gets what he wanted. It’s embarrassing to watch how often Barack’s game of tiddlywinks loses out to our rivals.
The Cuban commies are going to make Obama jealous by having the power to just shut down their critics like that.
He will come back home all jazzed up to give it another try on us.
How to measure Hussein’s foreign relations acumen? Hmm... picture a dimwit who always falls for the old “Do you have two Tens for a Five?” ploy. That’s probably too generous, but it’s close enough for a general description.
He will give Guantanamo Bay back to Cuba. How hard really can that be? Just order the troops to pack up and move, bring in Cuban military forces to “supervise”. The military will do as they are told, Congress will spit and sputter while all the while the only way to keep it would be war. Obama is this devious and traitorous.
“:^)
It does raise some interesting points to ponder.
Charlie Brown was smarter, a faster learner, and more likeable. [Not to mention that Charlie Brown was not a malicious psychopath who hated everyone alive.]
If they do meet him Obama will probably take a list of names and addresses and turn it over to Castro.
Like, who didn’t see this coming? We KNOW Obama lied(again) when he gave out the info that he would be meeting with them. Dictators of a feather , flock together.
Why talk to the turd anyway? He supports the regime.
Obama as Jane Fonda.
You may be more right than you know. He is probably on a trip to see how real commies run their country. Obummer is about to be term limited, but he routinely ignores the constitution.
A Day in Infamy - Barack Obama’s Cuban Pact

I consider Obama’s renewed relations with the communist island as one of the most despicable political acts I have ever been a witness to. Inherent evil of Barack Obama and his administration For the most part of the Cuban-American community residing in Miami, Florida, the day of Wednesday, December 17th, 2014, will—more likely than not—go down in their history books as a day in infamy, much the same as did December 7th, 1941, for all Americans. The former, when Barack Obama announced the U.S. restoring full relations with Cuba, including the opening of an embassy in the island—a bold move...
“Just saying, Cuba has never had the heft/ability of the USSR or Communist China to inflict pain on the U.S. or any other country.”
I wonder in what planet you have been living. Inflicting pain is the cornerstone of communism, and the main victim has been the Cuban people.
In October 1961 there were nuclear missiles in Cuba and Castro and the Che pushed Nikita Khrushchev to nuke New York and Washington.
In November 1961 the FBI aborted a Castro’s plan as deadly as 9/11 by detonating on Black Friday after Thanksgiving bombs in New York main department stores and the Central Station.
Denotes supine ignorance to affirm that Cuba never had the ability to inflict pain to any country. Rivers of blood left Che Guevara and his Cuban thugs around Africa in Cuba’s failure campaign to impose communism in that continent. Latin America still suffers the scourge of the communist guerrillas trained and financed by Cuba.
It is beyond believe to think that any American mentally sane could support Obama’s rescue of the Cuban terrorist regime that is at the border of total collapse. Venezuela will not be able to continue maintaining Castro’s regime afloat and Obama wants that the American taxpayers assume the “sugar daddy” responsibility, the same role that previously was played by the Soviet Union and later Venezuela pushing both countries to their bankruptcy. It seems to me that Obama is seeking Castro’s help to reach his goal, the bankruptcy of U.S.
Castro is a very generous man, he will pay for the American companies confiscated by the communist regime with the American taxpayers monies that the magnanimous Obama will donate to the regime.
So you are saying that Cuba has or had as much military capability ... on their own ... as USSR or Communist China? And you ask what planet I live on? What decade are you living in? The world has moved on since 1961. Perchance...you could join the rest of us?
Did the Muslim terrorist need USSR or China military capability to put New York in his knees? The must the world change the more it remains the same. Cuba still has 50 miles from Havana a sophisticate Chinese electronic spy base to intercept every U.S. communication and a beach head for cyber warfare against U.S. Russia is reopening another spy base in the outskirts of Havana. Obama have bended to Castro, but the Castros’ hatred for U.S. has not diminished a bite over half a century.
Unquestionable that Cubans deserve to be free. Their fight for freedom has been long and bloody. More Cubans in the quest for freedom were murdered by the regime right after the triumph of the revolution that Germans killed by Hitler in the first 3 years of Nazi Germany. There were more political prisoners in communist Cuba that during Stalin terror period.
Obama have offered that the American taxpayers will finance unconditionally the Cuban regimen. Raul Castro daughter made it clear that Cuba will remain a close repressive Stalinist regime.
If Cubans were allowed to travel freely, U.S. should be ready to receive 11 million Cubans (Mariel II). But Obama has a brilliant mind; he decided to extend U.S. welfare rolls to the 11 million Cubans on the island at American taxpayers’ expense.
Unfortunately, Obama’s largesse will not go to benefit the enslaved Cuban people, but to grease the repressive apparatus and enrich even more, Fidel Castro, with $900 million wealth, he is one the richest chief state in the world while the Cubans live in abject misery.
Obama is not trying to help the Cuban people but to condemn then to eternal damnation under a Stalinist regime.
Cuba has been watching Iran and Obama.
What they learned is that the more Iran treated Obama like a punk the more he gave them.
He likes being slapped around and made to grovel by foreigners,
