President Obama and Vice President Biden will not attend the funeral of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro, the White House said Monday.
White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters to “stay tuned” as to which top U.S. officials, if any, would attend the funeral, scheduled for Dec. 4.
Top Republicans have urged Obama not to attend the ceremony for Castro, 90, who died over the weekend.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (R-Ga.) tweeted Saturday that Obama, Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry should “under no circumstance” go to Cuba for Castro’s funeral.
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), a Cuban-American, said that sending a high-level representative to the funeral would only burnish the legacy of a longtime U.S. adversary who carried out human-rights abuses against his own citizens.

Will they send anyone?
Surprising.
Send Hillary and Jill Stein.
No.
America should not be on the side of a dead Communist thug.
It should be on the side of his victims.
Probably had to hold Obama down on that one. But, but....he was my new BFF.....
Send Sean Penn.
And don’t let him come back.
don’t forget Bernie
Obama is worried about his failing legacy....his POTUS terms have already failed miserably!!! I can tell ya folks, one thing, folks, Obama’s legacy dies every day that Clinton/Stein ply their idiot recount schemes!!! Democrat Party is sinking fast and, there are no life vests or life boats on board!!! Poor idiots have nary a clue as to the real world doings!!!
....Will they send anyone....
Van Jones? Maybe he can apply for a job in the regime while there.
That must be killing Obama not to go mourn one of his heroes.
Sean Penn and Danny Glover will rep us as usual.
[Golf game get in the way of mourning a fellow traveler?]
OBAMA and MICHELLE will pay their respects by watching reruns of their CUBAN tour and dancing debut.
The Fraud will probably send a personally recorded mournful eulogy saying all Americans share his sentiments.
A pleasant surprise. If Kerry wants to go, I wouldn’t fuss too much, he’s even more of a lame duck than Obama/Biden.
Jimmy Carter, Keith Ellison, Michael Moore, Cynthia McKinney and Van Jones.
Betcha if shillary had won all three would be down there.
I assumed Bernie was too distraught to make any public appearances.
I wonder...castro didn’t meet with him when he went to cuba....did the castros tell him not to come?
Which has to mean that John Kerry (whoservedinVietNam!)may be going. Or Susan (heservedwithhonor&distinction!)Rice.
Susan is not a bad looking woman, but always looks like she just bit the head off of a live Bat, and is disappointed with the taste.
Where Fidel is concerned.... The guy is a blood thirsty criminal and there is a ton of stuff in the documented, historic record that proves it!!
“O” is a hypocrite and a spineless wimp!
