Diplomacy: The White House says Cuba's Raul Castro may soon visit. If he does, it'll be an ugly blot on President Obama's record. Since when does the U.S. welcome brutal military dictators into the people's house?
Speaking to flabbergasted reporters, President Obama's spokesman Josh Earnest said Thursday that the White House "wouldn't rule out a visit from President Castro," just after explaining that Obama wanted to travel to Cuba.
That would be the diplomatic trade-off for an administration visit to the island, which would undoubtedly be a repeat of Obama pop-star pal Beyonce's pleasure trip last year in a miasma of 1950s Chevys, Daiquiris and Buena Vista Social Club sounds.
We've seen it all before — the left's romanticization of Castro's communist regime as vacation playland. But sorry, it's too high a price. The hard, ugly fact remains that Cuba remains one of the world's most repressive totalitarian dictatorships.
Regularly ranked at the bottom in democratic freedom and human rights surveys, more than 10% of the population has fled the island, while another 10% has literally been murdered by a regime whose military Raul Castro has led since 1959.

Yes, but I’m thinking of 17 glorious days without seeing/hearing his mug or mouth on TV (one can only hope)!
Maybe all his fundraising is to buy land in Cuba for post Castro.
There’s much to said for that!
Thanx. RIP...
I’d hate to see him get offed while golfing with Mr. Castro.
