Now will Castro return him?
Although I understand Kennedy instituted the 'abnormal' relations with Cuba via much the same means.
What do we need a congress for if we already have a dictator?
“We’re not focused today on calling on Congress to take any particular action, we’re focused on communicating this new direction for U.S. policy.”
The Tyrant speaks and it is done...
What the heck for? Give them the LIBYA treatment. If it was good enough for Qadaffi, then it’s good enough for Castro.
Is there any consistency in Democrat foreign policy? Oh, yeah, suitcases full of money. Makes you proud to be an American.
The idiot in the White House hates our closest friend nations, dumping all over Canada, Australia, Japan, Israel, etc. etc., and just loves to cater to our enemy nations. Can’t get rid of him quick enough to get back to sanity. Enough said.
The action however, creates many difficulties. How about all the Cuban refugees and American citizens who's lands had been stolen from them by Castro? How about all the cigar brands that will now have to compete against the same trademark from Cuba? How will that work? Personally I have found Cuban cigars to be even more over rated than they are over priced; but my experience with them has been very limited.
Once again El-Presidente is opening up a whole new can of sticky situations. But then again that is his specialty; creating chaos. He has been taking (please excuse the spelling) Clowerd-Pivon to new heights.
Here’s one more illegal act by the 0....
Unbelievable.
“Ye gods, it doth amaze me
A man of such a feeble temper should
So get the start of the majestic world
And bear the palm alone.”

“We will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed to advance our interests..”
How is the American Cuban policy “outdated” and the policy will fail if Obama abandons the policy.
Holy Smokes! What’s next? Sounds like he won’t be happy until he totally ruins this country. I guess he’s still butt hurt about November.
Now will Castro return him?
ALYNSKIS RULES FOR RADICALS, overwhelm the system into collapse, it’s nice to know the GOP is on board with this also

I’ve always thought it was stupid to deal with China but not Cuba. But something has to be wrong because it was done in secret. Why didn’t he include that as part of his platform?
What’s in it for us to normalize relations with Cuba.
Without forcing any changes there, I don’t see a damn thing to be gained from it.
Jeez... you mean I can buy Cuban cigars legally soon? No thanks, Obama you can have your relation with the Castro’s..
As the President is the head diplomat of the United States, I don't think that this falls outside his legitimate purview.
2) A review, by the State Department, of Cuba's designation as a state sponsor of terrorism.
The list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, as per State.gov:
| Country | Designation Date |
| Cuba | March 1, 1982 |
| Iran | January 19, 1984 |
| Sudan | August 12, 1993 |
| Syria | December 29, 1979 |
3) Relaxing of regulations to facilitate the flow of travel, commerce, and information between the United States and Cuba.
If that's contingent on #2, I have no problem with it.
Like Sulla did for Rome, Hussain is paving the road to dictatorship for U.S..
I’m not familiar with the process that initiated the embargo against Cuba.
Was Congress involved?
Was a bill passed / signed?
Was it an executive action by the President at the time?
Is there a process for doing away with the embargo that Obama is circumventing by this action he’s taking?
