Obama Pens Response to Dissident Cuban Blogger

Cuban Blogger Yoani Sanchez has been in the headlines the lot lately. First she jumped into the spotlight as the winner of Columbia Journalism School's prestigious Maria Moors Cabot Prize for Outstanding Reporting upon Latin America as well as the Caribbean, as well as her work upon her Generacion Y blog was recognized "for her courage, talent as well as good achievement."

But since Sanchez is the Cuban who speaks critically of the Cuban regime, it wasn't as well most of the surprise which the Cuban government denied her visa to go to New York to accept the prize.

Last week she was upon her way to the anti-violence impetus when she was incarcerated as well as knocked about by Cuban confidence forces.

Now her popularity as well as approval as the force for change in Cuba has gotten President Obama's attention. Sanchez posted the set of 7 questions regarding Cuban-US relations upon her blog as well as asked which both Obama as well as Cuban boss Raul Castro respond. Obama grabbed the beginning as well as this morning Sanchez posted his responses.

Whether Raul will follow fit remains TBD.
