‘...perhaps because Mr. Obama continues to offer the Castro regime unilateral concessions requiring nothing in return.’
Sounds a little like Iran.
And every place else, for that matter.
obama’s foreign policy works about as well as his domestic policy.
That is, not at all.
But, hey, we did get to send him and his family on some really, really expensive vacations, so we’ve still got that.
“Mr. Obama continues to offer the Castro regime unilateral concessions requiring nothing in return.”
You all watch! Obola will give Guantanamo back to Cuba before he leaves office, just like Carter did with the Panama Canal. Right now, he’s emptying out the prison of Muzzies to help his “brother Muslims” while he makes the place ready to give up.
So why does Trump back Obama’s failed Cuba policy?

Obama's concessory initiative has nothing to do with the Cuban people or democracy.
Its real purpose is twofold: To discountenance 50 years of U.S. foreign policy and its advocates and demoralize their followers (us), on the one hand, and on the other, to destroy George Bush's favorite pickling-jar for jihadi dead-enders who are beyond all human reach, by dispossessing the United States of a nonterritorial place to hold such jihadis beyond the reach of Communist lawyers and high-priced defense-bar pleaders of the ilk of F. Lee Bailey, Johnnie Cochrane, Lanny Davis, Plato Cacheris, and Robert "Uncle Bob" Bennett.
The idea that there was anything but malice and serious, impeachable mischief behind Obama's actions is pathetically ingenuous and unworthy of people who've had 100 years to learn the nature of the social disease that has been rasping the guts out of European civilization and American society, and which now is entrenched in the White House.
“Autocrats everywhere must be watching with envy Castro’s good fortune.”
Only if they’re Marxist or Muslim autocrats. He destroyed a number of semi-secular ME autocracies and is very much to opposed to any that seem to be more on a capitalist order (one of the things he hated about Mubarak, who was trying to move his country in the direction of secularism and a freer economy).
Obama did nothing but breathe new life into monkey-glands Castro, who it seems will never die - but his regime was, and it was being forced to moderate a bit, until Obama came along and revived it.
Surprised this is in the WaPo.
The Castro regime will do amazing things when Obama gives them Gitmo.
Since when has the Compost been advocating democracy?
