Yup, just when you thought the Latin summit couldn't get any more embarrassing for the US, Obama pulls the hat trick out of his ass.
To move forward, we cannot let ourselves be prisoners of past disagreements. I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old. Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. And we've heard all these arguments before, these debates that would have us make a false choice between rigid, state-run economies or unbridled and unregulated capitalism; between blame for right-wing paramilitaries or left-wing insurgents; between sticking to inflexible policies with regard to Cuba or denying the full human rights that are owed to the Cuban people.
I didn't come here to debate the past -- I came here to deal with the future. I believe, as some of our previous speakers have stated, that we must learn from history, but we can't be trapped by it."

What a self centered asshole. Some America-hating leader from a thirld world shithole insults the country and Obama is "grateful" that Ortega didn't blame him? How noble of you Mr. Obama. Its A-OK for anyone to lambast the US just as long as they don't cross that line and insult you personally. Most people would feel insulted if their country is insulted, but I guess maybe deep down Obama feels absolutely nothing for the US. I don't know how else to explain his complete detachment from his own country.
