Post points out that Obama is not simply too busy to deal with Latin America in general, noting that he heaped praise on Chile and met with Hugo Ch?vez. The Post says,

Obama quickly wrote a brief statement in support of this year's honorees after the Post inquired, commending
"all the brave men and women who are standing up for the right of the Cuban people to freely determine their country's future."
For a president who is already being criticized for his failure to speak out on behalf of Iranian freedom, Obama does not need anyone else to point out that he isn't exactly a champion of democracy.
