Why didn't President Obama meet Cuban dissident Dr. Biscet?

By Silvio Canto, Jr.

Back in 2007, then-president Bush presented the Medal of Freedom in absentia to the Cuban human rights and democracy activist Oscar Elias Biscet. This week, he was able to place the award  on Biscet’s shoulders. Good for President Bush! Where was President Obama? Why didn't President Obama give a minute of his time to Dr. Oscar Elias Biscet? For the record, Dr. Biscet is a human rights leader.   Dr. Oscar Elías  Only this year, five years after his release from prison, was he allowed to travel to the United States. Dr. Biscet is precisely the kind of human rights leader.......

President Obama, and any other U.S. president, should be embracing. Perhaps President Obama does not want to upset Raúl Castro. Or maybe Dr. Biscet is politically incorrect: a Cuban black who opposes abortion and the opening to Cuba without demanding something from Castro. Where is President Obama? He is talking to a lot of people, but not to a black Cuban human rights leader.........More
