Communist Cuba tells Obama exactly what he will get from his historic visit to Havana: Nothing. Castro's mouthpiece says regime will not 'renounce any of its principles'

Cuba said it would welcome President Barack Obama to Havana later this month, but the Communist government had no intention of changing its policies in exchange for normal relations with the United States.

In a long editorial on Wednesday in Communist Party newspaper Granma and other official media, Cuba demanded Washington cease meddling in its internal affairs and said Obama could do more to change U.S. policy.

The March 20-22 visit from Obama comes 15 months after he and Cuban President Raul Castro agreed to end more than five decades of Cold War-era animosity and try to normalize relations.

As long as Obama is not tasking the keys to Guantanamo with him I’m okay with it.

Hey Raoul, Barack isn’t coming to ask you to change your policies, His way of negotiating is to give you everything you want. Up front.

Besides, he admires your system, and your way of implementing it.

Silly Castro. Did he actually thing Obama was heading to Cuba to persuade them to turn to capitalism? Lololo - he’s coming to take notes to sway more of America to communism, and hand over the Gitmo keys at the same time.

Barack Hussein - spreader of freedom! Ha!

Anyone who thinks that Obama WANTS any sort of “concession” from Cuba is still living in fantasyland.

“Castro’s mouthpiece says regime will not ‘renounce any of its principles”

That’s ok. The rodeo clown will never renounce them either.

Obama is happy to help prop up the Castro regime - he never expected anything out of the deal other than the dubious honor of helping communism survive in Cuba.

Mr. Obama was more obstructionist and hyperbolic in his opposition to President Bush when he was in the Senate and he is far more unwilling to make concessions with the Republican dominated Legislature.

President Obama provides aide and comfort to the enemies of America.

Sorry to say you may not be OK on this one

Recall how Obama unilaterally gave seven disputed Arctic islands in oil rich waters to Russia,,,,

Obama's giveaway: Oil-rich islands to Russia - WND.com www.wnd.com/.../obamas-giveaway-oil-rich-islands-to-ru... WorldNetDaily

Feb 16, 2012 - Obama's State Department is giving away seven strategic, resource-laden Alaskan islands to the Russians. Yes, to the Putin regime

That’s interesting, “Nothing” is exactly what Cuba gave him for normalizing relations too.

Obama has already gotten everything he wants from normalization. He is part of the Castro-worshiping left, and he gets to go down in history as the first U.S. president to kiss the dictators’ posterior.
