Cuba needs bucks and they need it bad.It's hard to foment revolution and inspire communism all over Africa, Central and South America when you have no money to give to your terrorists on their ops.

Venezula has helped the Cubans in the past both with cash and gas.

The Hugo wannabes are sucking lots of air these days. Too dumb to produce the volume they should of crude oil and struggling with fifty buck per barl prices they are between a rock and a hard place.

The Castro bros. need to find a new sugar daddy and what better sugar than Uncle Sam.

Zero is perfetly willing to let the US support Cuba in every way possible. After all he is a card carrying commie and is right on with revolution anywhere and everywhere,just look at what he has done here.

So along with continuing to refine Venezuelan crude instead of Canadian crude and killing off Keystone the regime here is in full blown support of all their Communist brothers. Let ether be no mistake about it.

I agree with you. Cuba is in economic trouble and the Castros are on their way out, i.e., they are old and decrepit. Obama is tossing them a life preserver. It is no accident that Rangel was down there just days after Obama's announcement.

Some are opining that the reason Obama acted now is to lessen the growing Russian military relationship with Cuba. I doubt national security is of any concern to Obama. Castro has always been a hero to the left in this country. They will do anything to save him and his legacy. "Che" Guevara is still an icon to Obama and his ilk.
