And there's a greater than zero chance, one of them could be in the White House.

Bottom line of the article: It could go either way.
Clown Prince nobama continues his brilliant foreign policy of loving our enemies and damning our friends. What a clown.
And there's a greater than zero chance, one of them could be in the White House.
Problem is that it’s really difficult to justify our historical policy towards Cuba when we were perfectly willing to have normal relations with China, USSR, etc.
Hate to sound like a dummy, but who are the two guys in the photo?
As long as the Castros live, we should do no business with Cuba.
Obama and Raúl Castro thank pope for breakthrough in US-Cuba relations.
Pope Francis, before visiting The Holy Land boasted to be himself the “Che” of the Palestinian people.
A Marxist leaning Pope blessed the Marxist American president embrace of Castro's genocide communist regime condemning the Cuban enslaved people to eternal damnation. On the deal Castro liberated an American illegally imprisoned in Cuba in exchange for the freedom of three Cuban spies serving prison terms in U.S. and the normalization of relations with a country that occupied for decades a top position in the list of the State Department ‘s terrorist countries.
The Cuban regime tried to obliterate New York and Washington with a nuclear attack during the October Missile Crisis of 1962. “In November 1962, the Castro brothers’ and Che Guevara’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The Holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.” (Humberto Fontova)
Castro has been a strong ally of Islamic terrorism. Cuba continues to serve as a base for coordination and mutual support among transnational terrorist organizations. At Tehran University he stated to the thunderous applause of students and faculty, "The imperialist king will finally fall,” (AFP, May 10, 2001). Immediately afterward the Iranian Press Service proudly proclaimed that "Iran and Cuba reached the conclusion that together they can tear down the United States.” (IPS, May 10, 2001).
According to World renown and highly respected American investigative journalist and author, Claire Sterling, : “All of the world’s emerging terrorist bands in the 1970’s were indebted to the Cubans and their Russian patrons for that honeycomb of camps around Havana. None could have started without rudimentary training, and those who didn’t train in Cuba were trained by others who did.” (“The Terror Network, The Secret War on International Terrorism.”)
As reported by Sterling, “Castro was training the advance guards of the coming European fright decade – Palestinians, Italians, Germans, French, Spanish Basques – and forming guerrilla nuclei in practically every Western hemisphere state south of the American border. As far back as 1962, Castro’s camps were taking in 1,500 Latin American guerrillas a year. . ‘Any revolutionary movement anywhere in the world can count on Cuba’s unconditional support,’ declared Castro at the 1966 Tricontinental Conference in Havana”. It was then and there that the international terrorism network was consolidated under Castro’s leadership.”
It is suicidal turning a blind eye to Castro, a deadly enemy at 90 miles south of Key West that does not hide his hatred for U.S.
After the restoration of diplomatic relations comes the end of the embargo.
To complete Obama’s betrayal of the American people, with the normalization of relations comes the opening to Cuba of the American and International bank credits that will sustain the Cuban regimen passing to the American taxpayers the same heavy burden that helped to bankrupt the Soviet Union.
When The FBI Tracked Terror-Suspects—Literally!

BOTH are ‘Greater than Zero’.............
Who benefits?
The Communist Party of Cuba’s elite, and the revolutionary movements they sponsor in Latin America.
The drop in oil prices is hitting Venezuela harder than almost anywhere else, and they have been subsidizing the Cuban regime. The Cuban communist regime needed an emergency bailout to avoid collapsing like the Soviet Union.
Since Raul took over, they have been restructuring to be like China - about a dozen generals are taking ownership of the State industries, so they will be the billionaire oligarch politburo members after the Castros die.
There will be no human rights or democracy, and the regime will be resourced to spread dictatorship in Latin America, and operate their spy rings in the USA.
Julian and Joaquin Castro, Julian is the former mayor of San Antonio, and current HUD Secretary, and there’s a good chance he’ll run for POTUS in 2016.
He will be the defender of benghazi’s VP candidate
Possibly. Can you explain why, when we were perfectly happy to do business with Stalin and Mao?
I think they’re film producers and if memory serves me right they’re kind of down on conservatives.
It will go one way, it will allow the commies to give benefits to the masses and stay in power longer
The Crippled King is Legacy Building
Obama looking to bolster his credentials with communists and ultra-lefties.
How long before he announces a a few hundred million dollar$ in foreign aid for Cuba?
(or will it be billion$?)
And another billion dollar$ or so for Venezuela?
Given the state of the island’s automobiles perhaps Obama can institute Part 2 of “Cash for Clunkers”.
Does any country other than the US still observe sanctions against Cuba? Normalized relations with the rest of the world doesn’t seem to have had any transforming value in Cuba, so it will be interesting to see what happens when the great and powerful Oz to the North lets Cuba back onto the playground. In the practical world, normalization may be so insignificant it may be indistinguishable from times before normalization, except for the cigar industry.
Maybe Obama is planing to throw a Latin Spring, since Arab Spring worked out so well. We can sic the idiot Kerry on them.
Cuba Libre?....mentira!
