While President Obama described the embassy as “not merely symbolic” and a move representing the liberation of the American people from “the past” in a speech this morning, the Cuban government issued a statement refusing to reestablish full diplomatic relations with the United States until America gifted the territory of Guantánamo Bay to Cuba and ceased broadcasting radio and television news reports into the island, which constitute the only way many Cubans have of receiving trustworthy international news.

I agree, but that sure as heck won't be Obama's counter offer.
“CUBA DEMANDS RETURN OF GUANTANAMO, END OF US TV BROADCASTS IN RETURN FOR DIPLOMACY”
Anyone doubt that if Obama has his way he would Gitmo back, so the Russians and Chinese would have a major base 90 miles off our shores? After all these commies all stick together.
Ding Ding Ding
We have a winner!!!
NO.
That and he has some pardons he wants to give.
Go to hell, Raul and Fidel.
You can have Guantanamo, but you have to take the detainees.
(From my wife.)
Nothing is stopping him. I think if you look at all he has done he does what he wants. He ignores court orders, ignores the law and the Constitution. And the Congress does nothing to stop him.
He will give Cuba what they want and Congress will go along with it. By now people should have realized that there is nothing he can’t do.
Oh the repubs will put on a show about opposing him for our benefit and in the end they will give him what he wants. It’s the same ole same ole.
I lived in a house in Havana, First Avenue and 30th Street for four years (93-97). It was a 4BR, 4BA, corner lot, 100 yds from the Gulf of Mexico. The Cuban government took it over from a successful Cuban who fled to Miami during the revolution. They’d been leasing it to foreigners for big bucks ever since. For the time I was there, the USG was paying the Cuban government $3000 per month - all gravy for them. I really loved that house.
I was a kid during the revolution, but was an am radio fanatic, and news from Cuba dominated. There was even a popular song the called The Cuban Marching Song. No one really had a clue! I remember Fidel going to New York, and the rumors that he kept chickens in his hotel room.
Obama has never met a dictator that he didn’t love. We stopped having a two party system when Obama was elected.
Cuba would just turn around and gift Gitmo to Putin for a massive Russian Naval base - 90 miles off our shore.
BUT do not put this past Traitor Barry!
With what we have in the Senate these days, getting 2/3rds approval will be no problem. Mark my words, the closer Obama gets to leaving office, the worse it going to get and there isn’t anyone in congress who will lift a finger to stop him.
” 1000/We are prophets ping”
If there was money in this, we would be having brunch on the French Riviera......
trade Guantanamo for Havana
A man could almost begin believing his own press releases.
I wish FR had a lexus Nexus style search engine because it would make for a hell of a book to show just how many things we saw coming. To actually document it.
The theme being how in the four eyed fornication did so few people see the obvious? The nanosecond Barry started playing kissyface with Cuba this was the natural outcome. Who COULDN’T see that? It’s the perfect way to close the place, piss off the right and free the muslims 100% Dem free.
“See? WE didn’t release them. It’s Cuba. We have no say in their internal affairs.”
Ad the dumbasses all go “We;ll yea...settled science”
HAhaha, why so I did! :-)
Hundreds of millions will now go into Castro’s personal pockets. Iran is also getting everything it wants. GOPe
