In his 17-minute address to the summit, Obama departed from his prepared remarks to mildly rebuke Ortega.

"To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We've all heard these arguments before."

Actually, the president misspoke on the sequence of events in Cuba. The invasion of CIA-trained rebels at the Bay of Pigs in Cuba occurred in April 1961. Obama was born August 4, 1961.


Welcome to reality President Obama!!!

Yeah he must have been thinking of his cop out for his relationship with Bill Ayers bombing the Pentagon. He's got to get his excuses straight.

Earlier:

President Obama endured a 50-minute diatribe from socialist Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega that lashed out at a century of what he called terroristic U.S. aggression in Central America and included a rambling denunciation of the U.S.-imposed isolation of Cuba's Communist government.

Just wondering if Major Garret got this right - perhaps he drank some of the water and was under the weather because, this sounds more like Obama's line that he gave all over Europe and earlier in Mexico and Venezuela - blame America first. The only thing that's missing is the apology that follows.
