That should just be the prop up that Castro's regime needed to stand for the next 20 years!

Thank you, Obama!

Maybe 0dumbo needs a place close by to "evacuate" to when the truth about his COLB finally comes out.

Ironically, Cuba may soon be a place where there are MORE rights & liberties than in America.

Well, we already have unlimited money transfers to China and Cuba is no more totalitarian than China.

:::::::::
The truth about it was out a long time ago. The problem is finding anyone in the judiciary of this country, including the SCOTUS that will stand up for the Constitution and its law.

So Obama closes Guantanamo, but opens Cuba...

Moral idiocy.

One very twisted and dangerous child. This country has never been in such peril at any time, since the American Revolution.

Maybe now we can get really cheap 1950’s cars imported here? I hear there are some lulu’s on the island....it’ll help GM get a better reputation to see those old pieces of “American” iron rolling along.....

Well I was hoping for some cheap good Cuban cigars -— but now Obama is taxing those out of the market. Probably all we will end up with is a flow of Cuban refugees that will be taken care of like other illegals and turned into DemoRat voters....

I don't know; one of the best ways to topple a communist/totalitarian regime is to engage them. Once the people see the standard of living differences, they'll topple their own gov’t (we have examples from the cold war). Cuba is no longer a real threat, as could have been argued in the past, and isolationism hasn't changed them nor is it likely to do so in the future.

But their allies are.

Do you really want a friend who is the best friend of several serial killers?

Yes but with the Cult-of-Obama, Acorn, etc. the question is are we becoming Cuba faster than we can influence them to become more like us???

Please cite and example of this happening.

Liberals have claimed this for decades, but all it does is prop up communist dictatorships, because thats what they like. The same argument was made in the 90's with China and Iraw (oil for palace progam) and nothing happened.

Conversely, if they want to change a government, like South Africa for example in the 80's, then they are all for sanctions.

The Cuban people should kick the whole Castro family out of the country, make them live with their “friends.”
