Fidel Castro blasts Obama's trip to Cuba

In a full page column titled "Brother Obama," published in the Cuban communist-party newspaper Granma, the former Cuban president rejected Obama's visit and words of reconciliation.

"We don't need the empire to give us anything," Castro wrote, referring to the United States, in his acidly critical and rambling column.

"It is time for us to look forward to the future together -- a future of hope," Obama said in a speech that was carried on Cuban state-TV. "And it won't be easy, and there will be setbacks. It will take time. But my time here in Cuba renews my hope and my confidence in what the Cuban people will do. We can make this journey as friends, and as neighbors, and as family -- together."

But apparently Fidel Castro isn't so eager to bury the past.

That section of Obama's speech "risked giving one a heart attack," Castro wrote, before listing a litany of what he said were abuses the United States had perpetuated against Cuba.
