President Obama is being applauded by his pandering members of the left's publicity machine for poking a stick in the eye of the GOP and its likely 2016 Presidential candidates. The economic geniuses at the NYT pretend that there is suddenly a long line-up of American corporations running for their executive jets ardently anxious to unwrap the supposed Christmas present being handed to them and awaiting them in Cuba.
We're excited to sell average Cubans a couple of Chevys? Or perhaps three of four Teslas? How? Cubans are broke. Fifty cars were sold in Cuba during the past 6 months. The Castros and the military hold all the money. The Castro family has been filling its personal bank accounts with plunder since the revolution. At the same time it has used government funds to agitate mobs clamoring for communism in Central and South America, to finance and support existing dictatorships, and to finance terrorism against the United States.
The Castros accumulated so much cash offshore in 50 years that now they'll perhaps spend a few of those hard-earned Dollars, (not the "Cuban Convertible Pesos - CUC," or the lowly "Cuban Pesos - CUP") on a tractor or two, . . . umm, oh hang on, America is already a principal supplier of products to Cuba. So what gives? Easy: Banking and credit. The bankers are looking for direct access to the Castro generals, rather than having to circumnavigate around sanctions through European or Canadian banks. While it is entirely possible that Obama is looking for a pretext to close Guantanamo before he leaves office and turn over the land to Castro, the banks don't much care -- they have their eyes on cash.
Increasing "business" and "financial" ties with these military dictators will make these thugs richer, increase their power, broaden their influence, and accomplish absolutely nothing of substance for the Cuban citizenry. We cannot change their mindsets and their ideologies, and certainly cannot change their relationships to the forceful acquisition of personal wealth.
The apologetic MSM is confused, so it pretends that sanctions did not work and therefore any change will be an improvement. The MSM was as surprised as everyone else to Obama's startling Cuba announcement yesterday. The MSM suggests this may have been a move against Putin's plans to establish a base in Cuba -- of course the fact that Putin and his Russia are now in very serious financial trouble with a rubble crashing worse than the price of oil probably means Putin regrets his recent waving of Cuba's $32 billion debt. Putin has more critical problem than placing a base in Cuba. Are we witnessing a race to see who kisses Castro most effectively?
Obama's teleprompter gibberish spewed more inane idiocies which had nothing to do with his real agenda. The confused international community looking for rationale cannot find any because it doesn't understand who and what Obama is, stimulating the guessing to flow in abundance.
Obama claimed of his Castro deal, "Where we disagree, we will raise those differences directly." Really? When? Why were those differences not raised prior to an agreement? Why was there no qui pro quo? Why NOTHING on freedom, on voting, on elections, on release of confiscated property, etc., etc. The speech was full of embarrassing clichés ensuring that we heard Obama believed in motherhood and apple pie, however, he could not help betray his feelings toward America when he told Castro, "Today I want to be honest with you. . . . let us leave behind the legacy of both colonization and communism . . . " There it is. The single most telling word to waft across the airwaves from his teleprompter, "colonization." He continues to harbor the sentiments which drove his father to become an activist against America. In his mind these are two truths, . . . America spreads colonization, while Cuba is a communist nation. He doesn't grasp that only one of those is almost a fact.

The Kenyan only did this to help the Castro boys and their communism to survive in Cuba.
“Where we disagree, we will raise those differences directly.”
:::::::::::
Sure. And who will disagree with the Commie Bros.? Obama? Hardly.
And what will he do about the differences? Probably break off diplomatic ties and install sanctions.....oh, wait....
Will Havana get a branch of the Choom Gang Museum?
I think he wants a vacation home there. It’s an island. And it’s communist, so he can live like a king. Remember that as a boy in Indonesia, he said he would be the king of Indonesia when he grew up.
This is what I'm talking about too. Suddenly, leftists are salivating at the possibility of corporations doing business in Cuba. I thought corporations were evil?
President Polk should have offered Spain a billion dollars for Cuba, a deal would have been made with the Southern states to send the slaves there, Cuba could have been a territory or even a state, and we wouldn't have all these problems we're having now.
AMERICANS BEWARE!
Pope Francis concocted Obama’s unconditional surrender to Cuba Stalinist regime.
Behind Obama’s unconditional surrender to the Castro’s brothers, is the plot to make the American taxpayers liable for whatever the American companies sell to Cuba. The end of the embargo is their goal. "Because of something called the Export-Import Bank there's no risk whatsoever in exporting to bankrupt, murderous and kleptocratic regimes- worse there' no incentive for the kleptocrats to clean up their act, as would happen under a genuine free-market. Also the World, financed 80% by the American taxpayers will open their vaults to be freely looted by the Castro brothers."
Castro helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union, Obama before leaving want to complete the destruction of United States.
In the commercial and political relations of the Cuban regime and the U.S. there are several priorities to be concerned with.
1st. Cuba has defaulted in all his international financial deals and Castro encourages other Third World nations to follow his example. Why are we going to sell to someone without the expectation to ever be pay. The American taxpayers should be aware that they are the targets of the scam by which the multinationals sell to Castro whatever he needs and we, the taxpayers, end footing the bill. Castro for 42 years has been with commercial ties with over 150 nations. Now when he has exhausted the patience of nations fool enough to have given him credit, Castro’s puppets in the media, the congress in cahoots with some greedy commercial circles are trying that the American taxpayers shoulder the heavy burden of subsidizing his regime to the tune of 9 billion dollars.
2nd. The American companies cannot made business legally with Cuba without violating several American laws.
A.- Trading with the Enemy Act.
B.- U.S. Commercial Embargo Against Cuba.
C.- Helms- Burton Law.
D.- Involvement in bribes in commercial dealings with another nation. :
E.- Involvement in slave labor of foreign workers in connivance with the local authorities.
3rd. Cuba is, and has been a terrorist state for 54 years, and counts with advanced chemical, biological and cyber warfare capabilities aimed against our country. The cooperation between the Cuban regime with Iraq and Iran in the chemical and biological research is well known. A few months before the September 11 attack Castro affirmed at the University of Tehran that their cooperation would put the U.S. down to its knees. Castro once tried to nuke our cities and he has the means and the will to fulfill his dream of destroying our country. If we are involved in a worldwide war against terrorism, Cuba at 90 miles from our coasts should be a prime target in that war; so, those involved in appeasement policies towards Castro and in the promotion of the lifting of the commercial embargo against Cuba are in fact aiding and abetting our worst enemy.
The British intelligence recently made public the relationship between Castro and the terrorist guerrillas of Colombia, IRA, and Chilean terrorists. The socialist administration in Chile has expressed their deepest concern to Castro. The Cuban dictator, as usual, disregarded Chile's official inquiry into the matter and denied that any of those Chilean terrorists had ever been in Cuba, although there are phone calls that were intercepted between them while in Cuba and their relatives in Chile.
We have to wonder why Obama unconditionally surrendered to the Cuban Communist thugs endangering the security of the U.S.?
Could be. He’ll rake in so much from POTUS pardon bribes on the way out in Jan ‘17 that he’ll be pretty well off.
President Fumblebutt. He was asking for a translator who spoke Cuban.
Cuba's lakes were stocked with Florida large mouth bass before Castro. They're considered an invasive species now, and from all accounts are freakishly huge and unaccustomed to being fished.
Then, just like the idiot Carter did...he's going to give the base to Cuba...lock, stock and barrel.
Might even do it while he's I Hawaii.
He could not care less about, the other issues, but as Germany's Hitler in the 1930s, he gave something to most everyone. obama wants the "immigrants", specifically the muslims that will be funneled in from muslim countries through Cuba.
Obama lies....shocker!
Here’s a list of changes Cuba a reed to make:
Not just a vacation home. A place where he can’t be extradited after he leaves office.
agreed
“Where we disagree, we will raise those differences directly.” “
odd and revealing choice of words. I can’t think of one thing that normal Americans would have in agreement with the Castro brothers. Obama admits that he agrees with the communists on many things since the term “where we disagree” indicates an exception.
“Ninety miles away, partnership with a friendly government — ninety miles. It’s nothing. Just one small step, looking for a man that wants to be President of the United States — and having the cash to make it possible. MICHAEL, we’re bigger than U.S. Steel. “
