Of course he's going to suck up to Chavez and Castro--they're his role models.

He's probably unhappy that he can't meet Castro in person, yet. Maybe he's got a "Nixon goes to China" scenario in the works where he becomes the first President to visit Cuba (at least since 1959--I don't know if any Presidents ever visited the island between 1898 and 1959).
