Obama to Normalize Relations with Cuba

[Political Junky]

Castro took away everything. Just what Chavez did in Venezuela. Americans who think that this will result in some kind of economic expansion are smoking too much marijuana. Every business, coffee shop and empanada stand is owned by Castro. The bank that obumble thinks will accept American express cards is owned by Castro.
obumble didn't get a single concession.

Ted Cruz's father fought with Castro, against the oppressive Batista regime.
Oddly he now claims he didn't know Castro was a Communist.

He should have waited until Raúl Castro dies who is 83. At least, there was a better chance for substantial change with pressure from the U.S. We waited this long. Why not a few more years or so?

At the time no one knew he was a communist. He concealed his communist intentions to get support for the revolution. He announced that he had become a communist while in college at the urging of Che Guevara.

To those of you who feel this is a mistake I ask: How successful has the embargo been in ridding Cuba of a Communist regime?

Nothing could have changed as long as the Castro's were alive. Everybody was just waiting for them to die pretty much.

And yet Nixon opened China through talks with Mao.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Long overdue. The embargo has been completely useless. If conservatives really want to help the people of Cuba, as they claim, they will support this move and allow Cuba's economy to expand.

 

[Katzndogz]

Cuba's economy won't expand. The Castros might get richer but the Cubans won't see any of it. It's not like a Cuban will open a bed and breakfast to serve the tourists.

I was quite interested in the Cuban revolution at the time and have an accurate memory of what happened.

Well, welcome to the 21st century. The Cold War ended, you know.

Mao wanted a different direction for China. Cuba is more like North Korea.

Yes and obumble surrendered to Raul Castro.

 

[Kondor3]

There was no compelling reason to change our interactions with Cuba, was there?

You are wrong, but this is America, so go for it. Tell us why.

It was a question.

Why am I defending a question?

And, as long as we're at it, why am I wrong, in perceiving it that way, in framing that question?

 

[Kondor3]

The Cuban exile community immigrants are now dying in greater numbers until they are gone.

And their far larger numbers of children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren probably feel about Cuba's communist regime and the Castro family, pretty much the same way that their emigre and exiled predecessors did.

The US didn't know either they supported Castro.

There were so many undocumented aliens coming from Cuba that the border patrol put check points on the bridge to key West to apprehend them. This pretty much threatened to chock off the economy of Key West, so they declared themselves an independent republic, the "Conch Republic". As part of the protest, Mayor Wardlow was proclaimed Prime Minister of the Republic, which immediately declared war against the U.S. (symbolically breaking a loaf of stale Cuban bread over the head of a man dressed in a naval uniform), quickly surrendered after one minute (to the man in the uniform), and applied for one billion dollars in foreign aid. The US finally backed off, and the Cubans pretty much took over the SE Florida peninsula. Under the circumstances, why do we care what these criminals want US policy to be?

Oh, sorry. Since the Cubans came from Castro's country, they were "good". Other Latin Americans coming from other countries are "bad" and must be turned back.

Miami Cubans generally vote GOP, so the far right is trying to make some hay out of their hate.

ACTUALLY the law is if people make it to US soil and have a case to be determined as refugees from a hostile regime they get to stay. In fact that was one of the claims Obama made about those thousands of kids and their parents that engulfed us earlier in the year.

I know. And the Right totally rejected Obama's position on that. But, I don't ever recall a word of protest from anybody when the Cubans entered under the exact same conditions.
