Full diplomatic relations now right?

The Castros were staring at the abyss due to reduced Russian purchases of sugar and lower oil costs. Just at that moment Obama threw them a lifeline.

How some of you can't see this as a supreme victory for the Castros is beyond me.

Shut up and get a life. We get it. You mad.
Go protest about our trade relations with China and Saudi.

Comrade Obama has bailed them out without demanding any consessions before the deal was struck.

You should like Cuba and the Castros. They execute innocent people there with the benefit of due process.

The true irony of this is that JFK was the one who really ramped things up with Castro.

He wouldn't even recognize his own party - 50 years later.

Well, we let Moumar Khadafy pitch a tent in NJ before he spoke at Rutgers. Things went downhill for him after that though.

1. Fidel ain't goin' nowhere. Walking to his bathroom is a chore. Raul might be invited.

2. These people talking about the free market of Cuban cigars don't realize that during the 50 year embargo it enabled the Dominican Republic to produce a cigar industry just as good.

3. The big economic opportunity of normalization is with international hotel chains. The beaches in Cuba could be restored and tourism could be like a giant version of Cancun if the Cuban govt abandoned Marxist central planning.

I hope they come in January to the White House.

They certainly deserve it.

They're probably hanging out and laughing about Benghazi right now.

The Cold War (with the Soviet Union) is over. Cuba isn't a threat anymore so opening trade routes with them isn't going to hurt anything.

They should throw a Marxist shin dig and invite the brothers.

What would your spin be if someone other than Obama had done this? You are the Sean Hannity of the board. Obama could personally cure cancer and you'd find a way to be against it.

Not sure. We need to be very selective about who we have in the white house...amirite?
