I am deeply concerned that this New Openness with Cuba is being done with the full knowledge and coordination and approval of Russia.

The old word for it would be a TROIKA, or a triumvirate. Do not forget, we’re talking about Barack Obama here, ‘not your Grandfather’s American President’ at all.

Maybe the Cuban Americans will now rethink their support for Commie-crats.

In this case it was a communist regime that was slowly crumbling and likely wouldn’t last past the death of Raul Castro. Now they can get an infusion of cash to keep communism alive.

Correct Cripple!

Communism is a parasite and needs the Market as it's host.

They Need Hard Currency, that is why in Communist Poland they created something called a Pewex Store.

Which was designed to get the governments hands on Western Cash.

It was repeated in East Germany, Hungary, before long all the Easter Bloc Nations had them.

They essentially created, what Communism promised to destroy, a supply and demand market.

I would claim that Carter was a better negotiator than Obama so we should go back farther. What was the name of that Indian who sold Manhattan to Peter Minuet for about $23 worth of beads? No, he was a great negotiator because Manhattan belonged to a different tribe. Maybe we don’t have to go back that far. How about Obama is the worst negotiator since Neville Chamberlain? But then Neville gave away territory that wasn’t his, too.

I am not an expert on these matters, but could Russia be wanting a military presence in Cuba and that is largely behind the renewed love affair? Cuba is much closer to the U.S. than Russia. Anyway, it may very well explain Obama’s move, though liberals have always loved communist Cuba.

There is an ill wind blowing around the world. I can’t help but feel that something very bad is about to happen. Too many countries are being led by ill-tempered children types.

Not to mention all the potential great baseball player prospects. This could be bad for prospects from the Dominican Republic.

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.

Apparently she's gone into show biz.

Obama’s foreign policy comes straight out of a university campus peacenick teach-in from the 70’s or 80’s.

ANOTHER BETRAYAL

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.

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.
