Just Finished Watching Obama On Cuba

[Kathianne]

Honestly, the man cannot get through a sentence without "I, me, mine," over and over again.

There's an air of desperation though, missing a year ago. It seems Obama is trying to throw everything at the wall to see what will stick.

Interesting what may save his rear on this is the involvement of the Pope, giving Obama cover from more motice of his going it alone.

[Kathianne]

Just listened to Marco Rubio press conference in reaction to Obama's actions. Very emotional, 'This president is the worst negotiator in my lifetime.'

'The US gets nothing but a 'new market' where the people have nothing to spend. I suppose if Cuba returns as a vacation destination, there might be improvements?

The only thing I can agree with Obama is that the current policy has been in place for 50 years without any real change. It hasn't broken the Castros.

Rubio did a good job of connecting the fact that a few months ago this administration sanctioned Venezula for human rights violations, it's Cuba behind the Venezualan regime.

You can bring back $100 worth of tobacco and alcohol. (Yes, I do know the weirdest things). ;)

Anyone remember this guy?http://icansayit.com/images/obamchavez.jpg

Even though Obama's buddy is dead. He just opened the door for Cuba to take over Venezuela.

If everyone is merely worried about the price of cuban cigars. You ain't seen nothing yet.

Obama has become the New CHAVEZ. And nobody is stopping him THIS TIME.

THE SMELL OF SULFUR is spreading.

What has happened is Barack Obama has simply shown the world that all the human rights garbage rhetoric of the left is just that, garbage. Human rights don't matter one bit to these people and we need to shove that rhetoric down their throats each and every time a self-righteous socialist idiot pukes it up in a discussion.

What a guy! Will cut a deal with terrorists, communists and any dictator that wants to shaft this nation but refused for almost 6 years to meet to talk with Republicans . In fact, he will happily ram a stick up his ass to race off to let other leaders(communist/socialist), terrorists and other scum shaft the living hell out of us while he insults and attacks our allies with pure glee..
And millions still can not figure out the damn obvious reality that he bats for the enemies of this nation!

I could figure this out if I were ten years old, yet tens of millions haven't a damn clue and reject it immediately if told..
Pathetic.. thank the dumbass dem engineered liberal education system--greatest disaster that has struck this nation in a century. -Tyr

Not if visit Cuba illegally: A photo you forgot to delete from your camera can get you a $10,000 fine. If you don't want a "guided tour", it's necessary to go illegally so you can wander around on your own terms. It's quite convenient for the Castristas that all the legal ways to visit Cuba let's the regime control what that visitor sees.

I asked ordinary Habaneros what they thought of the embargo. One walked me into a convenience store and pointed out a tube of "Carolina Pride" breakfast sausage at an exorbitant price and asked "What Embargo?", telling me even I as an American was being duped by "El Barba's" lies. Another said the more money we deny the dictatorship, the fewer police they have to repress the people. The embargo works. It reduces funding for the dictatorship's repression apparatus.

The more I sit back and think about it the more I become convinced that Barack Obama simply cannot afford to have a communist state be seen as such a complete failure by the American public. He has come out and essentially blamed America for the state of the economy in Cuba instead of placing the blame where it should faill, the communist government run by the Castros. The more I think about it the more firmly I believe that Barack Obama is simply propping up a country that implements his favored form of government.

Cuba is not going to fall. The nature is of Socialism is picking "winners" and "losers". The Stalinist solution when the state can't feed everybody is to pick "losers" and kill them.
