do you think that prisoners are reflective of any country’s health care system?

The Embargo has to go through Congress, but I guess the US Chamber of Commerce is wetting their pants to get it lifted with no strings attached.

“You seem bitter. Get over it. It really is not a big deal.”

You are the person who needs to “Get over it.” The fact is the U.S. Congress enacted laws which made it illegal to do what Obama is now doing. This is one more unconstitutional act which serves to usurp the powers of the Congress and the power of U.S. Citizens to prohibit such acts. It makes no difference what the subject matter is or who the POTUS is in this case, these actions are illegal and the exercise of dictatorial power protected by illicit support by a dubious Senate majority and a corrupt Democrat appointed judiciary.

lol. Why? I am winning on this useless issue. In fact, I can’t wait to travel to Cuba. I have heard it is gorgeous. I believe that the ships will stop their on cruises as soon as they can. Kinda sick of going to The Bahamas and Aruba. Cuba will be a welcomed change.

“Normal” What the hell are you talking about? Ever been to Cuba? Know anybody who worked with the opposition in country? The Hollywood view of Cuba— the ideal 50’s martini bar light a joint crowd— like Jamaica, mon!

Vietnam has only come over to us because China is ripping off their mineral rights. China, their ancient enemy. China continues their hegemony, and btw is not 90 miles from the US in the first place. God give the Japanese the fortitude to dial them back—soon, and the Phillipines. Spare us the iphone ripoff tyrants in Beijing, the prison factories, the human rights nightmare, the owners of North Korea.

The #1 drug dealers in the Carribean ARE the Castro brothers. Lots of literature/sources on this, to include the show trial of a very popular general in Cuba, for ... drug dealing (which he was not doing- he was becoming more popular than the Castros or Alarcon) Stalinist totalitarian police state run by the Castros, and believe me, by their many descendents/gangsters in power— MANY generations worth now in the political apparatus of a police state- corrupt and dedicated marxists. The ONLY way to stop this shiite is a revolt against the entire island plantation prison.

Yeah, I get the drug legalization crapola- that would make everything better, sure nuff. You miss a great deal of the big picture— world wide big picture. Cause of course, we need the Cuban medical people “helping” the US fight Ebola in Sierra Leone. Right. Got it. They are so advanced (per Michael Moore, LOL).

The next step is Gitmo. That be OK, also? And freeing the terrorists (like the 3 intel agents let go today who murdered 5 American citizens). It is NOT about time. It is time for the Ceaucescu’s of Cuba to go— especially Alarcon.

Try talking with real Cuban expats. Jimmy Carter all over again only now the stoner choomer Present_dent of the World— the genius, sure. And dope, lot’s of dope (which is why they call it dope— it creates obamaumaos and ton ton macoutes). That way Kerry can windsurf at Varadero, maybe buy up an estate or two and hang out with Hemingways. Deo Vindice.

Just don’t come back...we don’t need irresponsible scofflaws who refuse to respect the rule of law and the sacrifices of the people who have protected and defended the Constitution you so arrogantly disregard.

More liberal rhetoric? Prophesying smooth things? As one poster said on here, whatever Obama is for is what we must be against, or else we become as much of a rubber stamp as Boehner, McConnell and the rest of the GOP-e.

JFK’s ineptitude was not the start of this, besides. Eisenhower cutting off help to Batista (the devil we knew, if indeed he was that bad) against Guevara and Castro by 1958 practically put a USSR satellite not far from our doorstep. Now with Putin and Iran further solidifying their alliances with the still-terrorist Castro regime, things are no different from 50 years ago and will be worse what with how weak the USA is now.

Is there a terrorist org or human rights violator that Barack Obama doesn’t want to empower, sanction, or aid and abet?

I was born in Cuba

Perhaps you will understand my observation that Cubans who arrived in the US since the 80s and 90s are not considered the excellent workers that we got in the 60s. Having experienced working for a Communist regime that "pretends to pay us while we pretend to work"—newly-arrived Cubans want to party during working hours! :-(

Oh dear God. Do you not remember typing the sentence that I will never visit a Latin American Country? It wasn’t that long ago that you personally typed it.

And I said “Sadly you are missing out”

Ok now that we are all caught up remembering what you typed, you can add to the conversation.

I just don’t care I guess. It seems silly to me to keep Americans from enjoying a great country while everyone else gets to enjoy it. Oh well to be honest if we get to travel great. If we don’t, big deal. I absolutely don’t care what direction it goes. It is not important to me at all.

What? It is going to add to my freedom.....I actually GET TO GO TO CUBA FREELY. I think you are taking this personally for some ungodly reason. I can’t imagine how you react to real important issues.

You're the one that thinks I'm missing out on something. I asked for clarification. Can you give me any? What, exactly, am I missing out on?

Merely traveling adds to one’s freedom? Even Adolf had a tourism bureau, remember (Kraft durch Freude), which the first Volkswagens were named after.

And under a terrorist regime, you aren’t really free even if they let you travel there and go home. They know that the USA’s going the same way as they are.
