It would not surprise me one bit to learn this afternoon that Obama has all the papers already drawn up and he feels that he has the power to do this under executive order.

This is all just formality IMO and has been agreed upon some time ago.

My guess is that the regime in Cuba collapses pretty quickly, I assume the oligarchs who fund Obama want to rush in and sell the Cubans the usual trinkets. The Clown Commie Posse of Cuba I don’t think stands a chance against iPhones

Nice, that Castro feels, that HE can make demands of the US.

Is Cuba blockaded?

Isn’t the correct term a trade embargo?

Well of course, Obama is president. Naturally Castro would expect the US to capitulate.

You’re correct, he can’t give it back legally if Congress objects.

I just read one article that said Raul told Obama to use an Executive Order to do it.

Imagine that!!

Interesting observation. And Obama is right there to rescue the communist regime.

He might do exactly that, and defy the GOPe to do something about it. They will, of course, cave, as they always do.
Remember, that asshat Jimmy Carter, gave the Panama Canal back. Was he ever held accountable for that? No he was not, and neither will the Obungler. I wish things were different, but I think that is really.

Most Navy vets that spent time in GTMO have such hatred for that godforsaken place that we’d love to give it back (then bomb it).
