.... a flood of U.S. tourists and business investment that will allow the regime to maintain its totalitarian system indefinitely.
Perhaps this is what Obama meant in 2012 about "more flexibility after the election" : Cuba is a huge drain on the Russian economy, and suddenly Obama gives Putin a helping hand sustaining it's client.
This may be a smoking gun, for people looking for evidence that Obama is a shill for Communism and a tool for Putin.

Good point. Sucking up to Cuba exposes O's desperation....
Ohaha'll do anything to ditch the "All-time Democrat Loser" title Americans bestowed on him at midterms.
Putin better keep his pants on (/snix).
========================================
The "Progressive" Obama said at his recent presser, he's "Not Done Yet," and has already gifted the world with Amnesty, ObamaCare, continuing racial unrest complete with 60's-era looting and burning, with Communist Cuba thrown in the WH garbage pile, for good measure.
HE'S HAVING WET DREAMS AGAIN All of Obama's most execrable activities serve to cherry-pick specific left-Democrat constituencies.....to serve his goal of a permanent Democrat majority.
Too bad midterm voters didn't go along with it.
==========================================
Obama long ago ran out of ideas and is now publicly showing how he is running out of torment options.....and is resorting to his community organizer con man schemes....like extortion.
The Deranged Progressive Mind At Work: Community organizer Obama coerced and sued banks into providing “dignity mortgages” to deadbeats w/ no intentions of paying up----a big part of how struggling taxpayers got soaked in the bailout financial crisis.
Now as president, Obama's siccing the US Justice Dept on banks b/c a buncha dumbos got stuck w/ mortgages they can't possibly pay.
As Investors’ Business Daily concludes: The Obama/Holder bank actions have little, if anything, to do with “justice” or restitution for innocent victims. In its 30-page “statement of facts,” Justice couldn’t provide a single shred of evidence that BofA had committed fraud. Nor could Holder ID a single “victim” by name.
(The effect of the serial Obama/Holder bank heist is that) lenders are bankrolling the same lefty parasites that bled them for the risky loans that burdened American taxpayers. With endless streams of cash, Obama/Holder enables lefties to ramp up their shakedown campaign.....repeating the Obamacycle of dangerous political lending that wrecked the economy.
Obama and Holder are punishing banks over and over again---extorting billions of dollars from the largest banks and giving it away to Obama's lefty political friends---major suck-ups to his favorite liberal causes.
=======================================
Taken by itself, Obama's newest brainchild---Operation Choke Point---puts pressure on banks not to do business w/ entities Progressives hate---like gun shops. It epitomizes imperial governance but when combined with his, and Holder's, aggressive use of civil forfeiture and Internal Revenue Service seizures of assets for no cause, a picture of government run amok emerges.
These govt-sponsored schemes strip ordinary Americans and business owners of their most basic rights simply because Obama doesn’t believe in them, fundamentally transforming the nation into little more than a banana republic in the process.
Choke Point sounds like another train wreck in the continuing saga of The Obama/Holder Extortion Unlimited. Obama told Joe the Plumber he was going to spread the wealth around. Nobody realized it would be going to idiots like Jonathan Gruber, to Obama's lefty community organizers....and into all those secret offshore accounts.
Valerie Jarret is Obama's "Deputy Senior Advisor"---in Chicago gangland parlance that means "Wire Transfer Artist."
