Money. Raul wants MONEY from obama. obama wants votes for 2010 and 2012.
I was talking to a couple of economists and they said free trade with cuba would be good for the US. They said Raul was a different person than his brother. But his brother is still in control from the sidelines even if that were true.
Then there are those who say Fidel was misunderstood by the US. I can only say his daughter who came here and wrote a book about his evil dictatorship says the US was correct about him. And the many who took their lives into their own hands to get here and away from Fidel for sure do not agree with that assesment.
Then the other day I hear Raul ranting at the US in the media.
Yeah, several of us here pegged it. Raul got the green light to whip up a wish list to present to Her Heinous, who after all says our policy has been mistaken.
And EVERYTHING Poppa Oooo-Mao-Mao says or does must be seen as his campaign for 2012.
