Castro praises Obama for easing restrictions

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Tuesday praised the President Barack Obama for lifting U.S. restrictions on travel and sending money to Cuba.

"The measure of easing the restrictions on trips is positive although minimal. Many others are needed," Castro wrote on a Cuban government website.

"We do not have the slightest desire to harm Obama," Castro said. "He doesn't have responsibility for what occurred and I'm sure he won't commit the atrocities of (former President George W.) Bush."
