I can't even watch it, cause it'd give me an awkward-overload. 

Obama seems like such a bro. I'd hug him.

No homo. 

...I havent watched it myself because the title itself made me wince in secondhand shame

I actually read an analysis of this that makes a bit more sense to me.  I don't actually think Obama was going in for a hug, that would have been politically awkward and no matter what you think of him, Obama is a pro at politics.  It looks to me like Obama was going in for the handshake plus arm grab move (some people do this, I'm not sure why) and Castro grabbed Obama's arm and raised it up.  The raised fist arm/fist is a common communist symbol.  Obama then purposefully goes to the limp wrist to prevent the a photo-op for Castro.  It all turns out looking really weird, but I'm pretty certain this was never supposed to be a hug.

Nice catch. 

But Cuba holding our ragdoll-limp leader doesn't exactly look too good for us either...
