China’s not ok.
How many times do we want to open Pandora’s box?
Cuba is the next diversion from the last diversion.
If Castro had said free and open elections in 2015, and it came to pass...then we’d all be open to this idea. He hasn’t said that.
So, let’s write 2015/2016 as a script.
Some former and retired Democratic Senator will be pushed down to Havana to write the new treaty. It’ll be a quick six-week deal, and the President will sign it by April/May of 2015. It’ll get sent to the Senate for ratification. A vote will occur by October...70-25 against the treaty. Even Democrats will come up against it.
Somewhere by June of 2015, the President will come to visit Havana. There’s already a group working on project (my humble guess) and planning out a visit to some memorial, with a visit to some sugar cane field, and the President attending a Havana baseball game. Live coverage by CNN, NBC and ABC.
Big US money coming into Cuba? Well...there’s a couple of thug-like characters with inside connections to the White House and pretending it’ll all be big profits from the new venture. Where exactly is big profits going to emerge? Sugar? Tobacco? Hotels on the edge of some disaster economic zone? Baseball?
I can think of forty better island places to visit. There are two or three dozen European-invested hotel resorts already there, and a dozen-odd passenger jets that land weekly from Germany, France, and Russia. They stay mostly in protected compound areas which are on nicely landscaped beaches. A Disney ship landing in Havana? Maybe, but what exactly will you be going to see?
It’s like a WWE-wrestling script. Good guys and bad guys are virtually the same....just wrestling for an audience and pretending it’s all theater for people to watch. That’s it.
Just wait until they start letting in all of Cuba’s refuse as refugees and grant them amnesty, too. They’re used to living under a Communist dictatorship.
Obama was instllaed into the presidency by Communist keepers. What else is there to know?
who controls Cuba’s prostitution business, the Castro brothers?
It’s really pretty simple, you know. All this really amounts to is Obama proving that he is still important despite his “lame duck” status. If he can’t do anything constructive, he can still set fire to a few trash cans and watch everyone freak out.
And Boner cried wee wee wee wee all the way home to the House of Representatives.
The answer is nothing
Gave away the store for NOTHING in return.
Obama is probably jealous of the Castro brothers ~ “Those boys sure know how to run a country.”
We are all socialists now...
Now the Cubans can count themselves amongst all of the different groups of Americans that obama personally shat on...
Once upon a time in Hawaii Little Stevie Dunham sat upon Pop’s knee and heard of all the mighty things that Pop would do if he were President of the United States. Little Stevie vowed “If ever I could be President, I’ll do those things!”. Pop smiled and patted Little Stevie on the head. And Little Stevie and Pop returned to admiring each other’s amber stains.
The writer’s method of score-keeping is inaccurate. Obama scored big time with his donors for opening Cuba for their investments. Guaranteed.
Time now for the Cuban opposition to show some balls and start demonstrating. This is the opportunity they’ve been waiting for.
What is the government going to do now? Are they going to jeopardize this deal by clamping down on them?
