U.S. is the isolated country, Barbara Lee claims on Cuba @ 12:13 pm by Michael O'Brien

U.S. — not Cuba — is the isolated party in longstanding feud between the two nations, said Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), one of the lawmakers who traveled to Cuba this week.

"We have to remember, every country in Latin America, 15 countries, have normal relations with Cuba — most of the E.U.," Lee said Wednesday morning on CNN. "We're the country which is isolated."

Lee said U.S. citizens should have a "right" to travel to Cuba, and said the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) who met with the country's communist leaders would press their cause soon with President Obama.

"We will communicate this to our president prior to the Summit of the Americas, which will be held in Trinidad, April 17," Lee asserted.

The several members of the CBC to have traveled to Cuba met with former dictator Fidel Castro and current President Raul Castro.

Lee said U.S. citizens should have a "right" to travel to Cuba,

Of course she didn't mention the fact that Cuban citizens don't have the right to travel anywhere.

These traitors to the cause of freedom never met a Marxist dictator they didn’t like. They should be called the Communist Black Caucus.

she might think about all those people who risked their lives to come here to escape Cuba.

does she now think they want to go back and visit families knowing they would probably be killed.

and as for the black caucus, is there a white one or am I being disenfranchised

If Hitler was in power today the CBC would be explaining to us how nice he is for giving all the Jews free train rides.

I thought that there was a trade embargo where US citizens couldn't sell their products to Cuba. Barbara Lee's only product is BS, and she sure is selling it there now.

Most other nations are led by elites which believe that Castro’s Cuba is MORALLY superior to American-style society with its blatantly competitive ethos. They admire Castro because they secretly despise themselves, yet wish to be admired by their peers for their sensitive intelligence and sophisticated world-view.

I live in hope that the USA will never capitulate to these “Lesser breeds without the Law”, as Kipling described them.
