Article’s last sentence cut off in error.
....Following his death, President Obama praised the leader as someone who was “dedicated to the education of his people and to greater engagement with the world” and heralded the “closeness and strength of the partnership between our two countries.”
The funeral of a tyrant, lest we forget. WORSE than apartheid for women, lest we forget.
I expect Obama will clear his calendar and travel to Cuba for Castro’s (any day now) funeral.
Barack and Michelle can give Jimmy and Rosalynn a ride to give their respects to the bloody commie dictator.

Yes. This is the right call. It would be interesting to know how they went from wrong (sending Crazy Joe) to right.
Well the good news here is he will be closer to the front.
Too bad the Hajj is over. Obama could have gotten that out of the way on his side trip, too.
Incredible. The Indians have been preparing for this visit like crazy - I was reading that they had hired hundreds of workers literally to clean the streets by hand in preparation for Obama’s visit.
What a kick in the teeth.
No football this weekend!
