GOP equals AWOL again.

It’s about time. I am certainly no fan of Obama but there are two things I expected him to do and am amazed he hasn’t done. The first was to end the pointless and self-destructive War on Drugs. The second was to end the cruel and pointless embargo on Cuba. This isn’t the 1960’s anymore and the Castros are dying. If we can have normal relations with China, Burma and Vietnam we can certainly have them with Cuba.

Well, ever since the Election, OTrauma has gone full-on Communist.

Woo hoo! The people of Cuber will finally be able to travel to America to get parts for their 1956 Chevys! (Chevies?)!

Oh. Wait. You mean they won't be able to travel freely?

Castro needs the embargo, and he will make the conditions so unreasonable that the US will never agree to them.

At this point, if Obama is for it, I am against it.

He's been consistently anti-American.

And there’s a good chance that our next POTUS will be named Castro.

We may see another outrage like happened the past few times this idea was floated. But I suspect not this time. And I have always wanted to visit Cuba. Why should the US government make me jump through absurd hoops to do it? Who are they to tell me where I can and cannot go?

I have a friend who is an extremely talented amateur photographer. He could be professional if he chose. Earlier this year he and his family visited Cuba using the pretext of an invitation from a Cuban photography society. Apparently you need this sort of pretext to visit the country legally. They had a great time, were able to travel freely and would return in a heartbeat. He really whetted my interest. I’ve traveled to many countries in Latin America and would love to add Cuba to the list.

I bet the democrats don’t let it happen....

Rafael Edward “Ted” Cruz is the junior United States Senator from Texas. Elected in 2012, he is the first Cuban American or Latino to hold the office of US Senator from Texas.

Yeah but it’s the only place you can find a 1959 Edsel still running.

Thank goodness! I was sweating bullets- thought Obammy was going to announce that he was permitting Cuba to annex Florida, Georgia, and Alabama.

I totally agree. Once people in communist countries are exposed to the “rest of the world” it doesn’t take long for the regime to fail or at the very least make major reforms.
