Maybe Joe Biden is resigning and Castro will take his place.

Cuba’s prisons are probably full, so he’ll announce a second Mariel boatlift to empty them into the U.S.

12:01:30PM THE PRESIDENT delivers a statement on Cuba
The Cabinet Room
Limited Pool Coverage (Pre-set 9:00AM; Final Gather 11:00AM Brady Press Briefing Room)
This comes after news broke about the release of American Alan Gross, who was being imprisoned in Cuba. ABC reports:
Held for five years in Cuba, 65-year-old American contractor Alan Gross has been released from prison and is en route to U.S. soil, ABC News has learned exclusively.
In a landmark humanitarian prisoner exchange to be announced by President Obama shortly at the White House, the agreement was reached following more than a year of secret back channel talks at the highest levels of both governments.
Todays release of Gross, who is said to be in poor physical condition, represents a first step toward normalizing relations with the neighbor just 90-miles off the Florida coast.

Just when Cuba’s oil life-line colony (Ven) is about to tank due to a collapsing market, here comes OBAMA to the rescue.
To: Las Vegas Dave
Lifting sanctions. Obama’s full-on Communism court press has been going since the election.

He's lifting the travel ban FROM Cuber???
Oh. No. Probably not. The Castros would probably frown on that.

Who are you and tour "representatives" to deign to have a place in Obama's Seat of Judgement? Cuba is a wonderful place and the Cuban people are thrilled to make a dollar a day. After all, doesn't it suit Canadian vacationers? And aren't the old cars pretty? Castro is a real hero, above and beyond the petty business of "rights" and "laws" and "representation." Would our Leader would do away with the last vestiges of these old, imperialist-capitalist notions! Hail Obama!

It wouldn’t surprise if he said he’s closing Guantanamo Bay and giving it back to Cuba.
To: optiguy
I am surprised he didn’t do that in 2008.
