Cuban Blockade Dilemma Part II

I've been reading Castro Insights (reflexiones) during this past weekend and he acknowledged, in more than one ocassion, the work ethic of Barack Obama. He even compared BO meetings with Latin American Presidents with Bush meetings. He stated that Bush went to sleep early every day but Obama stayed late meeting not only with the big Latin American states but also with the smaller states representing groups. Why Castro words resound so much? I don't understand.
