Tuesday on MSNBC’s “MTP Daily,” Jose Diaz-Balart, host of “The Rundown,” said since President Barack Obama opened up diplomatic relations, Cuba is violating human rights with political prisoners and described it as a “increase of repression.”
Responding to Raul Castro’s call to end the U.S. embargo on Cuba during his first speech to the U.N. General Assembly on Monday, Diaz-Balart said, “You know, the embargo, if you look at how it was codified into law, it’s pretty basic and simple on how the embargo would be lifted. How all of the blockades that exist between the United States being able to fully have economic relations and support for the Cuban government. It’s pretty simple how that would go away. If there is a call for free and fair elections, if political prisoners are released, if unions are allowed to organize and people can move freely within the country. If those three things happen in Cuba, then the embargo would cease to exist. So it’s almost as if people are speaking in New York on different planets, because it’s pretty simple. You call for democratic elections, you have a release of political prisoners, and have unions and the embargo’s over.”

Where is Jorge Ramos to stalk and stand up to Castro?
Of course. Cuba is a communist dictatorship
That just can’t be - Obama is so inspiring, so reassuring, so reasonable - all he has to do is flash one of his charming smiles and have a heart to heart conversation with even the most brutal of totalitarians and they melt before his logic and decency - surely it’s only a matter of time before the Castro brothers, even though they personally murdered hundreds of those awful “counter-revolutionaries” years back, see the error of their ways and - heck, maybe join the priesthood......
How is that an improvement, just more tyranny.
The Øbama Touch: everything he touches turns to Shiite.
Cuba is about to blow up. Lots of folks aare going to die and millions will flee to the USA. Wait til Fidel dies.
*unexpectedly
Communist dictators know a fellow traveler when they see one. Obama’s phony smile tipped them off to that fact.
