Senate Dem: Cuba trade rewards 'brutal behavior'
thehill.com ^ | 12/17/14 | Peter Sullivan

"There is no equivalence between an international aid worker and convicted spies who were found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage against our nation."

~~~SNIP~~

Menendez said the swap "sets an extremely dangerous precedent."

"It invites dictatorial and rogue regimes to use Americans serving overseas as bargaining chips. I fear that today’s actions will put at risk the thousands of Americans that work overseas to support civil society, advocate for access to information, provide humanitarian services, and promote democratic reforms."

Obama is clearly envious that Castro has been able to torture and kill his political opponents. No one should be surprised that the vile Obama is now openly embracing the barbaric communists he has long admired.

Why not? Close Guantanamo, give it to Cuba, and they could open a giant health services village.

What's going on? Isn't the US Senate supposed to have to approve treaties?

Well in the spirit of Bipartisanship,coming together,reaching across the aisle,we are melding the parties together.
As Rush has announced there will be a fusion ticket in 2016,the Perfect ticket,Hillary running against any Obama affiliation,Jeb Bush running against any affiliation with the Tea party,wallah!
The only thing missing is the new party title,How about the National Socialist party,better known as the Nazi party!

ANOTHER BETRAYAL

OBAMA EMBRACE THE CUBAN GENOCIDE REGIME
A Marxist leaning Pope blessed the Marxist American president embrace of Castro’s genocide communist regime condemning the Cuban enslaved people to eternal damnation. On the deal Castro liberated an American illegally imprisoned in Cuba in exchange for the freedom of three Cuban spies serving prison terms in U.S. and the normalization of relations with a country that occupied for decades a top position in the list of the State Department ‘s terrorist countries. The Cuban regime tried to obliterate New York and Washington with a nuclear attack during the October Missile Crisis of 1962. In November 1962, the Castro brothers’ and Che Guevara’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The Holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.

To complete Obama’s betrayal of the American people, with the normalization of relations comes the opening to Cuba of the American and International bank credits that will sustain the Cuban regimen passing to the American taxpayers the same heavy burden that helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union.
