(CNSNews.com) – In a joint press conference with Cuban dictator Raul Castro in Havana, Cuba, on Monday, President Barack Obama said he welcomes Castro’s criticism of the U.S.

“I actually welcome President Castro commenting on some of the areas where he feels that we’re falling short, because I think we should not be immune or afraid of criticism or discussion as well,” Obama said.

Obama was responding to a reporter’s question about whether the Communist country has Cuban political prisoners and why Castro won’t release them.

Obama said the two “had a very frank conversation around issues of democracy and human rights.”

"50 years is enough , " Trump said in an interview with the Daily Caller published Tuesday, referring to Obama's decision to re-establish U.S. ties with Cuba.

"I think it's fine. I think it's fine, but we should have made a better deal," Trump added. " The concept of opening with Cuba is fine."

“Obama Says He Welcomes Castro’s Criticism of the United States”

I’ll bet he does. Obama is too lazy to do anything on his own.

Another example of why we need Donald Trump!!

Trump really is the antithesis to Obama! He has already performed an immense service to the Conservative cause.

Obama shares with Raul Castro a common hatred of the USA.

When he ran out of suggestions for “improvements”, Jugears put the teleprompter up for him and fed him clues.

We should let other mass murders tell us what they think too. Isn’t this sort of discrimination against Jeffrey Dahmer and the Unabomber?

I can’t wait until Obama goes on an Apology Tour to meet with Kim Jong Eun.

If we’re going to be honest and frank and transparent, please Obama, where did Castro feel we were coming up short and what were his recommendations?

Castro can go to hell. He's a lousy communist and his people are his slaves. Obama is just plain ignorant.

Obama is just a lousy communist himself.

The congress should move to impeach. If they don’t have the stones for that then a condemnation should be issued.

Barry doesn’t mind help belittling the USA.

He probably opened Cuba relations so he could go to Cuba, didn’t want to be outdone by Jay Z & Bouncy.

I’m sure he does. A lot of foreigners hate America.

Even while holding jobs in America. (cough)

“”I think it’s fine. I think it’s fine, but we should have made a better deal,” Trump added”

Exactly — Cuba gets what they want, the US gets nothing under Obama’s “deal”.
