President Obama Arrives In Cuba For Historic Visit

[Lakhota]

The visit is the first by a U.S. president in 88 years.

HAVANA (Reuters) - President Barack Obama embarked on Sunday on a historic trip to Cuba where a Communist government that vilified the United States for decades prepared a red-carpet welcome.

Lifting off from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, Obama headed for Havana where the sight of Air Force One, America’s iconic presidential jet, touching down on Cuban soil would have been unimaginable not long ago.

The three-day trip, the first by a U.S. president in 88 years, is the culmination of a diplomatic opening announced by Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro in December 2014, ending a Cold War-era estrangement that began when the Cuban revolution ousted a pro-American government in 1959.

Obama, who abandoned a longtime U.S. policy of trying to isolate Cuba, now wants to make his shift irreversible. But major obstacles remain to full normalization of ties, and Obama’s critics at home say the visit is premature.

This good for business, for cultural exchange, and to put an end to mccarthyism.

And an end to a failed policy that should have been abandoned decades ago.

The right’s idiotic meme that Obama’s ‘always wrong’ – it’s as ridiculous as it is incorrect.

Yup...racists love to do that to cover their hatred

Hint: Calling out a racist is not the Race Card

Such logical fallacy about Obama can do no wrong. In liberal eyes he's a saint.
