Does Odumbass have the authority to unilaterally remove sanctions?

No, but he'll just grant a universal waiver and refuse to enforce them.

Of course, when we get the next president, he can then do that with Obamacare, right??

Havana could probably support a team, the politics of it aside.

For now, maybe AAA? The International League can be international again.

He’s going to announce he will open discussions with Cuba about normalization of U.S. Cuba relations. As per an article in WSJ this morning. And why not, it’ll be just two Marxist thugs getting together.

Clown Prince nobama is such a foreign policy genius! Befriend our enemies; insult and degrade our friends. Great policy. Shouldn’t he be in prison or exiled?

Hugo has met the devil, and, he is not George Bush, must be turning over in his grave. Or, at least Maduro can get some good toilet paper, with Obummer’s face on it.

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.” (Humberto Fontova)

Castro has been a strong ally of Islamic terrorism. Cuba continues to serve as a base for coordination and mutual support among transnational terrorist organizations. At Tehran University he stated to the thunderous applause of students and faculty, "The imperialist king will finally fall,” (AFP, May 10, 2001). Immediately afterward the Iranian Press Service proudly proclaimed that "Iran and Cuba reached the conclusion that together they can tear down the United States.” (IPS, May 10, 2001).

It is suicidal turning a blind eye to Castro, a deadly enemy at 90 miles south of Key West that does not hide his hatred for U.S.

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.

How come these people are outraged about enhanced interrogation, but not about the torture of political opponents that is routine in Cuba?

The Cuban economy is moribund. It depends almost entirely on subsidies from Russia and Venezuela.

Those two countries’ economies are in freefall with the declining oil prices.

This might have been the perfect moment, or at least approaching the perfect moment, for regime change in Cuba. Instead, here comes Comrade Obama to save the day for the brutal Castro brothers (his idols?)
