Could be it was Cuba that folded knowing Russia and Venezuela are about to go boom.

This could be the beginning of Marco’s Comeback Kid story
if he doesn’t overplay it. Many Cubans or those with Cuban heritage feel very strongly about not legitimizing Castro’s Communist government in any way.

Of course, Obama won’t take advantage of the leverage that we would hold if that were the case.

The only enemies now are those countries which were our friends. Essentially, if a country is not communist or terrorist, it’s now an enemy of the US.

Rubio assumes there were negotiations, but I understand his point.

Yes. And ex-communist is also an enemy. Current communist, friend.

No on Sugar. We have a large tariff on that for Florida.

Waiting for Cruz’ opinion. Gonna be good. Wouldn’t it be great if he as POTUS crashed the Castros and brought Cuba out of the 1950s? We’d all be buying up their Cubicana, they’d be buying our trucks and appliances and phones!

For those who can stomach Anthony Bourdain (I can because I’m a serious cook) try to watch his Cuba episode. Astounding and infuriating.

It would not surprise me if the Boy Emperor gave Key West to Castro.

I recommend PJ O’Rourke’s chapter on Cuba in “Eat the Rich.”

“Worst” assumes that the “negotiator” actually wants good to befall the side he’s supposedly representing.

Exactly!
The obvious, blatant "in your face" non-parity of this and the Bergdahl incident arguably establish an "aiding and abetting" charge.

And long memories. This compliments of Slick's deputy AG at the time, now OB's AG.

I had a copy of that, bought it at 1/2 Books, found it was autographed later! My daughter has the book now for some reason.

The biggest tragedy of all is that Obama is trying to turn Israel out from the friend category to the enemy category. Go figure: Sanctions on Israel but not on Cuba. Obama is a nightmare.

Two more LONG years before we are rid of him.

Janet Reno just heard the news, sighed, and poured herself another double Bacardi Rum & Coke, while she stares into the aquarium, thinking about once being famous, thinking of careers gone by.
