In a small conference room at the 7th Summit of the Americas held in Panama City, Panama, President Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro met for an hour on Saturday, the first time in over 50 years that the heads of both nations have met. Obama claimed that it was an “historic meeting” and that it was “possible for us to turn the page and develop a new relationship between our two countries.” After all, he said, “I’m not interested in having battles that frankly started before I was born,” which is amusing considering that at a White House prayer breakfast in February he bashed Christians for slavery and the Crusades.
They also shook hands, over which the media swooned:
Raul Castro, finding the event to be a great time to curry favor with Obama, called him an “honest man,” an epithet that some Americans found somewhat less than accurate.
@CombatJourno @billpostmus Reassuring to know O is held in more esteem by Commies than most of American people.

But while Obama was not interested in old battles, Castro trotted out the old America-as-imperialist-aggressor canard. In a speech at the Summit that was supposed to last 6 minutes but lasted 50, Castro described America as a “hegemonic force that plundered territories throughout the Americas,” and accused the US of a series of historic outrages against Cuba. But he apologized to Obama, “because he doesn’t have anything to do with all of that,” so it’s all good.
Eh, once a Communist revolutionary, always a Communist revolutionary.
