Obama: We can learn from Cuba on human rights

If you have any doubts that Barack Obama is a hardened leftist--then keep reading.

From the Daily Caller:

Speaking to reporters in Havana Monday, President Barack Obama said that, "hopefully," the United States can learn a thing or two from Cuba’s record on improving basic, human rights.

"Our starting point is that we have two different systems," Obama explained. "What I have said to President Castro, is that we are moving forward and not looking backwards."

"President Castro, I think, has pointed out that it, in his view making sure that everybody is getting a decent education or health care, has basic security in old age, that those things are human rights as well."

"The goal of the human rights dialogue is not for the United States to dictate to Cuba how to govern themselves," the president continued. "Hopefully, we can learn from each other."

Political opponents of the Castro dictatorship are routinely locked up.
