President Obama and his family will arrive Sunday in Cuba for an historic three-day visit filled with symbolism, but with few expectations that the president’s legacy-building will improve human rights for Cubans under the repressive communist regime of the Castro brothers.
Air Force One will land at Jose Marti International Airport near Havana late Sunday afternoon, making Mr. Obama the first sitting U.S. president to set foot on Cuban soil since Calvin Coolidge in 1928.
After a stop at the U.S. Embassy, the Obamas are to visit the Cathedral in Old Havana to meet Cardinal Jaime Ortega, the archbishop who worked with Pope Francis to help forge the agreement in December 2014 to restore diplomatic relations between the two former Cold War adversaries.
Mr. Obama will meet Monday with Cuban President Raul Castro, but isn’t expected to see his brother Fidel, the 89-year-old communist revolutionary who’s in poor health.
During the trip, Mr. Obama also will hold a private meeting with dissidents, deliver a speech to the Cuban people, pay homage to the Catholic Church for helping to broker the thaw in relations, attend a state dinner in his honor, and watch a baseball game before departing late Tuesday for Argentina.
Traveling with the president on the spring break-like trip are first lady Michelle Obama, their daughters, Malia and Sasha, and Mrs. Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson.

So they have to go to Cuba to take the kids to church...
Next, shopping for Che Guevera posters
Maybe we could cancel his visa while he’s in Cuba?
Maybe the Castros can teach him something.
“Traveling with the president on the spring break-like trip are first lady Michelle Obama, their daughters, Malia and Sasha, and Mrs. Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson.”
So it is another vacation.
It blows me away the whole family is going, even Mooshell’s mother.
The only “human right” Baraq cares about is unrestricted buggery.
I don’t think the Castros are going to be waving palm branches.
Social justice warrior tourism!
don’t you love the stench of victory over Yanqui imperialism ?
Michelle’s mother lives with them.in the White House. I wonder why.
If “human rights” is on the agenda, it can only mean that Obama will confess the US’s horrible human rights record and agree to Castro’s plan for improving our record.
And they're bringing hundreds of "journalists" to help the Obama's fill their memories scrapbook with photos of the world loving the great Obama. Nauseating.
I don’t doubt those thoughts are in 0bama’s anti-American pea brain.
Funny Castro has kill more black people then the KKK but he a hero
Glad to see the Cuban chica was using personal protective equipment....
Welcome to Cuba, Mr. Obama! We've thrown some more dissidents in jail just for you.
