HAVANA, Cuba – While Cuban dictator Fidel Castro is clearly a questionable source, his claim that President Barack Obama ripped the United States while praising Cuba is worth exploring.

In a propaganda piece published on Counterpunch.org, Castro explains the strong education links between Cuba and Venezuela, and in particular, that country’s dictator, Hugo Chavez.  Castro takes credit for Cuban doctors training Venezuelan doctors in classrooms “properly equipped by the Venezuelan government.”  Then Castro went on to make an astonishing claim.  He writes:

“President Obama knows this only too well and has talked about it with some of his visitors. He candidly told one of them: ‘The problem is that the United States sends soldiers while Cuba, however, sends doctors.’”

Really? That’s what our commander-in-chief said to visitors, presumably at the White House?

Is it any wonder our standing in the world continues to diminish?

Again, while the source is Fidel Castro, this claim ought to be investigated to determine if there is any validity to it.  After all, President Obama was recently caught on a hot mic telling Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he would have more “flexibility” after the election to negotiate arms treaties that would presumably be to the Russian leader’s liking.

We’ve already found numerous examples of American public school teachers telling our students that the U.S. and its economic system are to blame for the world’s troubles. It’s even more disheartening to read that our president may be telling visitors similar things.

America is the greatest country in the history of the world.  We hope our president has a strong understanding of that indisputable fact.
