I’m all in favor of letting Americans travel wherever in the world we want to go. I don’t like the government telling me how to live my life.

Doing so now only props up the murderous Castro regime while it was (and hopefully still is - though no thanks to Obama’s move) in its last throws. Democrats really are sick.

“I guess they didn’t talk to any Cubans from South Florida who fled their country.”

Maybe they did. A large part of the Cuban community was none too happy with the change in travel requirements implemented by President Bush in 2004. It created more hardships for their families in Cuba and among other things, cut visits back from once a year to once every three years.

It goes from appeasing anti-Western Islamic dictatorships to brutal communist régimes. Instead of developing methods to oust Castro and his commies, he is securing these anti-American lice in power.
