"Obama will not attend Castro funeral: White House"
President Barack Obama will not attend Fidel Castro's funeral, the White House said Monday, demurring on the question of who would lead the US delegation. "The president will not be traveling to attend the funeral of Fidel Castro," said White House spokesman Josh Earnest. Obama has sought to thaw tensions with Cuba, but stopped short of meeting Castro during a landmark trip to Havana earlier this year.
^ I mentioned this in an earlier post, but since Obama is actually doing something good I wanted to mention it separately. I was surprised when I learned he wouldn't be attending especially since he has bend over backwards recently to please Cuba when nothing concrete has changed in Cuba - other than more American tourists visiting. This only goes to show you that sometimes people can surprise you, but it is too little too late to have any lasting affect on his legacy - which I'm sure he is very worried about. ^
