The President of the United States of America makes a “historic” visit to Cuba and the president of that country won't even meet him at the airport.
Does anyone know of this ever happening before? Or to another head of state visiting another nation?
Compare that to Pope Francis' visit. Every major Cuban dignitary there to greet him with streets jam packed with people.
For Obama? Rain and empty streets.

Is it important that he be met at the airport? Do you not think they can find their way around without Raul to show them? No one else knows the way?
Waiting for the photos of Obama bowing down to Paul and kissing Paul's 'ring'.

How often does President Obama meet an arriving dignitary at the airport?
With Cuba, you guys are really grasping at straws if this is the best anti-Obama storyline you can bring up
.
Gotta love the rightwing media in their attempt to downplay the historic Cuba vist
Look everyone...Castro did not meet the plane
Go on the interwebs tomorrow and voice your outrage
Pics, or it didn't happen..Gotta love the rightwing media in their attempt to downplay the historic Cuba vist

it is historic, the US lost another ideological battle to a third world country. Cuba does nothing and Obama genuflects.

How often does the POTUS fly to Cuba? Yes, a welcoming ceremony at the airport would be appropriate. But since it is Obama trying to seal his legacy and the Cubans have done nothing they don't need to respect el Wimpo.

The Castro Brothers are in their 80's so no, I don't think that it would be wise to send either one out in the rain.
I don't like them, but I would not want to condemn them to possibly catching pneumonia either.
Jeez......
The GOP didn't throw a hissy fit when Nixon visited communist China...How often does President Obama meet an arriving dignitary at the airport?

There was a welcoming ceremony in the rain
Why stage an important diplomatic breakthrough under such conditions? There will be plenty of Obama/Castro photo-ops today
Give you conservatives plenty of opportunities to steam
When did the world ever work on your terms?The Castro Brothers are in their 80's so no, I don't think that it would be wise to send either one out in the rain.

Jeez......
Rain does not make you sick.
Rain is why there are umbrellas
All airports have hangers
Such a historic event you would think they could risk a little rain, and they would if it meant something to them.
You evidently know nothing about underhanded foot in the door diplomacy..Iran is crying that the US is not living up to ending sanctions...I wonder why Barry is not kneeling and bobbing the Iranians?In such encounters, symbolism is everything. Barry is making all of the concessions; the Castro's are conceding NOTHING. No political reform, no reduction in prepression, NOTHING.
This is what Donald Trump is talking about when he says he knows how to make good deals. You do not give up anything for NOTHING. There are times when you have to walk away from the table without a deal.
Barry has made this same mistake time and time again: make concessions in the vain hope that sometime later, the other side will make a concession. It's like expecting a used car dealer to sweeten the deal after you have paid for the car. It just ain't happening.
