I CAN'T WAIT – AT 1:49 P.M. ET: They're letting Obama out of the White House again. From The Hill:
NEW YORK -- President Obama will hold a bilateral meeting on Tuesday with President Raul Castro of Cuba, White House officials announced on Sunday.
The meeting, which comes in the midst of the United Nations General Assembly, will be the second time the two leaders have met since the U.S. restored diplomatic relations with the communist nation last year. Obama and Castro also sat down at the Summit of the Americas meeting earlier this year in Panama. The two men also chatted on the phone earlier this month.
Castro will be in New York to attend U.N. General Assembly, marking his first appearance at the assembly.
The White House also announced Sunday that Obama would also be meeting with President Nursultan Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan.
COMMENT: Someone restrain the president, please! He may be tempted to give away more to Castro, just to get a photo of the two smiling. Or, he may apologize for our rudeness during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Or for the Spanish-American War. Or for Lucy's divorce from Desi.
Obama should, in fact, start making demands on the Brothers Castro for the release of political prisoners. No chance.
