(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.”

..where did Castro feel we were coming up short and what were his recommendations?

I'm sure old Raoul chastised 0bama saying Americans have too many freedoms.

Why, that’s amazing how Cuba has resolved the problem of income inequality! Now everyone is equal!

Are you agreeing with Trump that it’s “fine” to open up with Communist Cuba?

Obama definitely is not an American, and if the nation survives, it will be a conundrum for historians for the ages; one never fully resolved.

If Trump would “open up Cuba” — I bet one of his conditions would be for Castro to resign and hold truly free elections, and release all political prisoners immediately.

All Eastern European countries switched away from communism by now, Cuba could too, but Obama is encouraging the current regime.

You left out his military and law enforcement orders to stand down, apologize and thank the enemy.

Did Obozo also bow and kiss the other loser’s ring? Or does he only save that for Islamists?

“What’s with Obama’s hand?”

Same as always, just like Michael Obama’s junk.

Horrible man. Horrible. He shouldn’t have ever been let out of Kenya. Or Hawaii. Or Chicago. Or whatever primordial sludge he’s been dragged out of.

Right now some Jewish Rabbi is ranting on Cavuto that Trump is a disgrace to the Office of the Presidency. Never hear nothing about Clinton or Obama from these guys.

What’s down is up and what’s up is down in a crumbling America these days.
