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.

Maybe everyone can Piss in the Urn.
Hypocrites.
You can bet your bottom dollar Obama would be first in line to this if he wasn’t terrified of what Trump would say .
Obama has been well and truly stumped by The Trump
Zero can send his Ambassador to Cuba Jeffrey DeLaurentis.
Is this the first good decision Obama has made since he was first elected?
Will Sean Penn go?
Surprises me, too. I thought Barry and Uncle Joe would be leading the parade!
““O” is a hypocrite and a spineless wimp!”
I think you have something, I considered similar after that extra long Trump meeting where later Obama caved on TPP among other things later. Maybe he fears finding himself all alone in the real world once his party becomes dust along with his legacy.
I call it the Trump effect. It means real positive change for America.
No, don't you remember how Castro laughed at Obama's visit?
Jay-Z and Bey.

And drop trow urinate on his grave.
