To hear Ben Rhodes, the mastermind of President Obama's opening to the Cuban goon regime, tell it, Americans are just pining to go to Cuba. Nothing must top feeling like Beyonce dancing away the night on the Malecon in quaint old Havana.

The facts on the ground tell a different story.

As Rhodes touts trips to Cuba's communist military dictatorship as somehow somehing in the line of 'freedom' in his new 'narrative, airline carriers are fleeing the island hellhole, for one and tourists are bailing out. According to Marketwatch:

WHAT? Well maybe that's good news for certain "entertainers" who made empty promises to depart the US when we WON. They could move to the workers paradise and live like the kings and queens they think they are. No too many tourists to bother them. Quick flight back to the US for some serious movie making. ;-)

I’m sure the “stars” could come to an equitable agreement with raul so they’re not bothered by the riff raff. ;-)

Democrats don’t want their snowflakes and open mouthed idiots going to Cuba.

Why?

Why aren’t they pushing the glory of ‘free medical care’ in Cuba - - like they did for years?

Because even stupid vile leftists would be able to see the truth when faced with the reality of the hellhole...

Ain't it curious that Obuttboy and his Wookie haven't vacationed there since he historically repealed travel restrictions?

No doubt life outside the Tourist Potemkin Village is a tropical paradise, where even Michael Moore would find sufficient to eat.

I would put a visit to Cuba in the same category as a vacation in North Korea, Syria, Iran, or San Francisco.

I suspect very few Political Conservatives will want to go to Cuba.

Why would a Conservative want to go through the hassle of getting a $160 Visa to visit a third world hellhole?

There are many Caribbean Islands that do not impose a visa and have better food and water and accommodations than Cuba.

Of course, the Leftists believe that Cuba is cool and if the Leftists had any money, Cuba would be overrun with Lefty visitors from the USA.

Strange. Before Castro and Ché, it was THE tropical vacation destination.

I wonder what changed?...

I have read that it is very expensive for tourists and the service sucks.
Not quite up to the standards of say the Hilton Garden Inn.
