mr. castro was there. so if he hadn't taken his hand this would have sent a message much louder. >> lousy staff work. >> no it isn't. it is fine. this president has shaken hands of the chinese leaders who are communists too, the vietnamese leader, and the embargo. >> john this is lousy staff work for this reason. white house staffers should know exactly who is sitting in what chair. that is why i tend to agree with mort. this must be deliberate or those guys were clueless in saying look there is a fellow named castro sitting here as you go by. >> all the all gists, -- all those who gave a eulogy. >> there is more to the story. in bali, there was a w t.o., trade talks in bali and cuba softened its opposition to it that obama wanted i don't this was a mistake though. if he wants to deal with castro, fine, they want diplomats, behind the scenes dealing, fine. but to step up there and do that was a mistake. >>> allen growth a u.s. development worker has been in jail in cuba for four years and the u.s. governme

mr. castro, let's not begrudge the leader of the free world for doing a hand shake -- >> with a murderer -- >> for shaking the soviet union's president's hand, or hugo chavez, the truth of the matter is you look at the actions followed by the words. what did the president say in a thinly veiled barb? he said too many times there are leaders that embrace the solidarity of mandela's struggle for freedom, yet they don't tolerate dissent from their own people. nothing more could be interpreted as a cold sting from the verbal slap, as much ado about the hand shake. >> first of all, our president is shaking hands with a dictator who jailed and tortured many more political prisoners, than the south african regime that jailed nelson mandela. and he was shaking hands. and it seemed he was slightly bowing in front of a dictator who is currently keeping an american as a hostage and a political prisoner, there are just so many elements to this that you can't possibly make it up. >> this, to me is not the biggest offense of the president. but i will tell you this, armand, when i see the president giv

mr. castro and the perceptions of it. the white house is quick to come out and say, no, this was not a setup. this was not preplanned. is that how it seemed? >> it's hard to say, joie. as i watched, if he had avoided shaking raul castro's hands it would have seemed small-minded and offensive to the spirit of the man they were there to honor and his spirit of forgiveness and reconciliation. i don't think he had much of a chance but to shake his hand. if he snubbed him, we'd talk about that, and the i think the reaction to that would have been even worse. my question really is for the white house folks. where were the advance white house people in planning? they certainly could have figured out some way of president obama getting to his seat and not having to walk right past raul castro, so that raised questions. on the other hand the president in his speech had a clear criticism of leaders like raul castro who ended up going there to celebrate nelson mandela but then repressed their own people at home. >> so we saw some of

mr. castro appreciated it. >> to liken the president to neville chamberlayne, did you think in retrospect it was over the top? >> i'm sure it was an exaggeration, candy, if you want me to plead guilty here on cnn, guilty. >> are you going to vote for the compromise budget bill? and whether yes or no, do you ultimately think it will pass the senate? >> i hope it will pass the senate. i don't do anything, not anything, but we must not shut down the government again, we can't do that to the people of this country in my state. second of all, carl levin, chairman of the senate armed services committee has pledged to us that we will review this provision concerning military retirement and because this givings them relief from the harsh effects of sequestration that they are supporting this legislation. i wish that provision wasn't in there, but to shut down the government again is an unacceptable act to inflict on the american people. >> just to nail this down, assuming that this budget package stays the same, you will vote for it? >> yes. >> okay. >> senator john mccain, we did a tour around t

mr. castro, saying there are too many that claim solidarity with mandela but don't tolerate dissent for theircular. >> president obama as you said, he took time to directly address his counterparts and urge them to better follow mandela's example. let's listen. >> there are too many people who happily embrace madiba's legacy of racial reconciliation but passionately resist even modest reforms that would challenge chronic poverty and growing inequality. there are too many leaders who claim solidarity with madiba's struggle for freedom, but do not tolerate dissent from their own people. and there are too many of us, too many of us on the sidelines comfortable in complacency or cynicism, when our voices must be heard. >> he could have been talking about any country in the world but it seems like he was talking about the united states. am i wrong? >> i don't think he was speaking exclusively about the united states but that was the heart of the speech. i mean, when he rebuked that implicit rebuke to the cas stros and mugabes, the dictators that often claim solidarity with mandela, that was to a n

dictator hugo chavez and then this morning our commander-in-chief decided to shake hands with raul castro. mr. bob beckel, he sure seems cozy with the komi's. >> i can't believe you started with that. a guy shakes hands with all of the guys there, and you're making that news. that is bull. >> well i'm not making news. it happens to be news. >> for right wingers. >> it was all over the news. there are other people who are making commentary about this. but look, when you are going down a line of dignitaries and you see a communist leader four guys down, don't you say i'm going to say hello or catch over -- os -- or pass over that. >> do you think he's going to catch communeism by shacking hands. >> what do you think about that. >> on the world stage, with vladimir putin, the president shakes his hand. i don't think the president, he didn't seek out this opportunity. i think it was there. now i remember in 2005 when president bush went to argentina for an a-pec meeting and the secret service did everything they could for getting to the camera shot because they knew hugo chavez wanted to use it,

guys have empargo on 50 million people, and then -- why -- i remember sometimes you reach out to castro, -- mr. mandela said in effect, well, i am, because they reached out to me when knives jail before you did. creating this one big world of freedom and justice. we can learn something about his values. >> your friend, martin luther king jr. had such an impact on the world as well. >> what was the connection between these two leaders. one connection, they are both fighting the systems. and both prevailed in the political sense. but also because dr. king was in jail for a short period of time, and out of that came the voting rights act, which redefined america's -- 18-year-olds couldn't vote, you couldn't vote on college campuses, you could not vote bilingually, when all of that got involved it changed american politics. that coalition led to the sanctions against south africa, so that the work was in parallel, but the american -- our freedom fist gave us the inside tract on freeing south africa, and they are quite aware of our kinship. >> because the civil rights movement had move far ahead wh

mr. mandela's memorial today held in a huge soccer stadium who had been built in johannsberg. one of the others was raul castro, brother of fidel castro and lately the president of cuba. president obama's hand shake with raul castro at this memorial service today does not seem to have been intended to have any diplomatic consequence other than being polite at a funeral. but it nevertheless caused a significant portion of the belt way and the american political right to get very, very excited today and not in a good way. senator john mccain went to far as to say today that the hand shake with raul castro today was just like hitler. yes, that hitler, seriously, that's what he said. here at home tonight, the big news out of washington was the rather unexpected announced from republican congressman paul ryan and democratic senator patty murray that the two of them have come to an agreement. it's a bipartisan budget deal. if their deal does pass the house and does pass the senate by the end of this week, their plan would undo some of the pain of the sequester and make sure we don't have another government shutdown
