Cuban President Raul Castro recently stated he did not have to capitulate any of the “ideas” his regime has fought for, when he struck the deal with President Obama about normalizing relations between the two countries.

“We shouldn’t expect that in order for relations to improve with the United States, Cuba is renouncing the ideas for which we have fought for more than a century and for which our people have spilled so much blood and run such great risks.”-Raul Castro

If this is the case, do we believe President Obama take on the deal, or do we believe his like-minded counterpart, Raul Castro, considering he and his brother’s long history of lying to the world?

White House spokesman Eric Schultz told the Miami Herald that the Castro regime did release Cuban prisoners that they “specifically requested,” and that the President was “flexible” when he negotiated with Castro.

“I think its fair to report that there was significant progress here (regarding) the political prisoners – they released a large (number of prisoners) that we specifically requested…The president has always been flexible on specifics (regarding) negotiations and clear there would be some give and take.”-Eric Schultz

So, what guarantees did Obama secure about prisoner release? What proof did Castro offer him that the political prisoners were actually released?

“I will maintain the embargo. It provides us with the leverage to present the regime with a clear choice: If you take significant steps toward democracy, beginning with the freeing of all political prisoners, we will take steps to begin normalizing relations.”-President Barack Obama

Now let’s go back to what Obama’s spokesman Eric Schultz said. Schultz said that Castro “released a large” number of prisoners that the administration “specifically requested.”

Is a “large” amount of release political prisoners the same as all political prisoners being released from prison? I think not.

So who do we believe, Obama or Castro?

“Then, once again, President Obama — breaking his own word, breaking his own pledge — has decided to do something absolutely without precedent, and that is to give an anti-American terrorist dictatorship exactly what they have been asking for.”-Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL)
