Well damn, maybe American’s will begin to move to Cuba to escape Communism unless Barry Soetoro decides to make that his new country and establish himself as dictator for life.

He’s abdicating to take the VP spot on the new Obama ticket.

Sorry, Joe.

Naw, I heard he has a top position in Eric Holder's Justice Department!

Dog and Pony show, nothing will happen in Cuba without Fidel’s approval.

He stepped down again? What is this - an annual ritual?

Perhaps, because of our President, Cuba has decided to become a representative republic and adopt Capitalism so that they can continue to be our adversary.

Brilliant post! Bears repeating...

How soon until Obama claims credit?

No doubt, he will say such"change" could only happen because of his admin.

I hope Sarah and other "true" conservative leaders will state that the same socialism the Marxist wants for America, has been in place for 50+ years in Cuba -- a pure socialist hell.

True enough. He wants to go where Communism isn't in decline and recognized its failures.

Click over to babalublog.com and scroll down to get some details.

The Party Congress had been held up for two years as they were hoping Obama and co. would come through for them, lift the embargo, open the tourist sluicegates, and extend aid and loan guarantees. Well, Obama didn’t come through and now the Repubs are back in charge in the House. So that last hope evaporated.

Now Raul and the gang are trying to see how little they can loosen things up to get the economy going. They had to do something, as those million canned government workers would represent a deadly tipping point with no economy to absorb them.

You have no idea how refreshing it is that there are still pogophiles around.

Also...

Goat:
Science has better use! In my country they put dog in dark 80 hours... They see what happens to him.

Pig:
Is good this science! What they see happens to this dog?

Goat:
They see nothing... Is dark...

Pig:
In my country we do it better... Everybody in dark all the time.

Technically, he was before my time. I was only seven or so when he died, but later on in the seventies my Mom recommended his stuff so I ended up buying every Pogo collection I could find. A lot of the political humor went over my head but not the “pig” strips.

No way Jose (Marti)!

We already have one Puerto Rico. We wisely cut Cuba loose in 1902, then again in 1908.

The last thing a free Cuba should want is to be a U.S. vassal. Considering how being a U.S. territory works, they’d be far, far better off on their own.
