President Barack Obama displayed "political courage" when he changed over 50 years of U.S. policy by announcing a renewal of diplomatic relations with Cuba, former President Jimmy Carter told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."
Critics of Obama's announcement have said the move only served the Cuban government, but Carter said there was "no doubt" that the "beneficiaries of this primarily will be the Cuban people."
"I'm very proud and grateful that President Obama has shown such good wisdom, and, also, I'd say, political courage in taking this long overdue step," Carter said Thursday.

If Jimmah is still spouting his madness 35 years after leaving office, can you imagine how much longer Obama will do the same after 2016? I’m glad I’m old :-)

“O” has this smug and delusional view of himself as the leader of some kind of global mass movement- it’s not very well articulated and is completely saturated with the most jejune and emotional ideas.
“The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world.” Eric Hoffer

But political courage is quite different from moral clarity or policy wisdom.

Florida is no longer a swing state. Democrats will not come close in 2016. Cuban Americans will vent their rage at the democrats for this act.
