do we still have a Congress or what...
Comrade dictator Obama never met a commie he didn’t like.
How come Rush is not talking about this?
We have diplomatic relations with China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. They are all at least as bad as Cuba.
I wonder when the supplies of cigars start to flow ?
That’s what this is really all about .....

Soon... perhaps North Korea will become our closest ally eclipsing South Korea.
Under this administration who knows?
If our allies are following along here (and they certainly are), imagine what connection to the U. S. they’ll consider in the future.
Our government needs a stadium filled dose of Prazac, to combat the multi-personality it has become.
Capitulation!
Iran is next.
SURE ... let’s open up THAT border TOO!!
Wouldn’t be shocked to find the Crony Capitalist Chamber of Commerce (CCCC?) fingerprints all over this.
Obama said he’s going to send Sec. of Statism John Kerry to talk to them.
If I was a small Caribbean nation and a U.S. president threatened to send John Kerry to talk to me, I would consider it an act of war...
How soon will CUBA cough up the cash to pay back the US investors for all the property Castro confiscated back in 1960?
I have mixed feelings. Cuba’s a hostile mess that has historically agitated against the US all over Latin America. On the other hand, it’s kind of silly for them to be on triple-secret-probation.
My evil Obama fantasy of the day is that this partial normalization isn’t the end game. Could he have cleared out Camp Gitmo as preparation for handing the Guantanamo base over to Castro, who hates it? There’s always another act with this guy.
The United States did not do this. Obama, acting illegally, without any consultation or approval, did this.
There was no change in policy. This is the action of Obama alone. This is the action of a dictator.
The only question is will anyone reverse this illegal action.
I think reestablishing diplomatic ties with Cuba will greatly assist in our current federal government’s goals.
I mean, right now there are nowhere NEAR enough safe conduits by which terrorists can enter the United States. Establishing a capability of simply flying from Havana to Miami on a commercial airliner will be a BIG help.
Well, someone had to do it. Who better than a Democrat who just loves dictators.
Only problem I have is the fact that we now have another country to support with our dwindling tax dollars.
I think an aid pool is in order. Pick a number between 1 billion dollars and 100 billion dollars. Closest to the amount of foreign aid sent to the Castro brothers........ er........... Cuba yep Cuber in 2016 wins
There is an interesting possibility.
Could be the signal to the opponents of the regime to rise up knowing the Castro government would be on the spot, would they violently put down the demonstrations, knowing it could jeopardize normalizing relations with the US, or would they behave.
Time to find out.
Obama makes an ally of another kindred spirit. I'll bet Castro could teach the US a thing or two about humane treatment of prisoners, a topic very important to Barack and the democrats.
FWIW, Cuba receives lots of foreign currency, since all inclusive vacations there are cheap. Canucks, Brits and many other Europeans vacation there, bringing their foreign currency with them. The US is about the only country that maintains an embargo against Cuba. Never been there myself, neither could I afford, nor desire to go there.
