Castro to Obama, right on

President Obama has received high marks from Fidel Castro for his U.N. speech of yesterday. Castro was impressed that by Obama's admission of past errors by the U.S. with respect to climate change issues. "It would only be fair to recognize that no other United States president would have had the courage to say what he said," Castro gushed.



Castro is wrong. Modern Democratic presidents are quite prone to admit errors, real and imagined, committed by their predecessors. What it is that's "courageous" about such statements remains unclear.



Still, with Obama's foreign policy being widely panned, and playing out so poorly in key areas of the world, Obama will perhaps take comfort from the fact that one veteran practitioner, albeit from a backwater, has praised him.
