MEXICO CITY The White House announced on Tuesday that President Obama intends to remove Cuba from the American governments list of nations that sponsor terrorism, eliminating a major obstacle to the restoration of diplomatic relations after decades of hostilities.
The decision to remove Cuba from the list represents a crucial step in President Obamas effort to turn the page on a Cold War-era dispute.
It came after a much-anticipated meeting between Mr. Obama and President Raúl Castro of Cuba on the sidelines of the Summit of the Americas meeting in Panama over the weekend, the first such formal session between the leaders of the two countries in more than a half-century.

"Obama is waiting to put Israel on the terrorist list, you all know he wants to"
You are sadly probably correct; and since the process seems to be under his administrative control, he could with some rationale about mistreating those poor, terrorist, Palestinians.

He is going to give back Guantanamo Naval base to the Cubans.
So, he is trying to "RUN UP THE SCORE" on Carter as the WORST PRESIDENT! Carter gives away the Panama Canal, and Obama wants to probably give away Gitmo!

try to marginalize both cruz and rubio while doing what he does best. cozy up to criminals, murderers, America haters and despots I doubt that the timing of Cuba announcement or Iran deal by Comrade Barack Che Obama has anything to do with Cruz or Rubio, or any Republican presidential candidate.
Che Obama is in a mad rush to do all these unpopular things NOW so this Carteresque "legacy" becomes fait accompli by the time presidential campaigns are in a full swing and it wouldn't affect the next Democratic candidate — and him/her having to defend or denounce the "policy" or its outcome — when it can be dismissed as "old news" and therefore, with the help of the media, unimportant and as such, "time to move on[.org]" to issues they want to emphasize.

EVERYTHING obama does either:
a) Weakens America/Americans
b) Distances America's allies
c) Strengthens America's enemies
d) Serves Islam
e) Harms Israel
Or some combination of the above.
There are
NO counter examples.

Millions of Americans don’t have a grasp of foreign policy or history, and are none the wiser. Politicians just do what they know they can get away with. That’s a fact for an overwhelming majority of them.

Obama adds the United States to terrorism list. Followed the next day with the obscenely arrogant jacka$$ declaring himself King of the United States.
