Odumbo wants to end Cuban trade embargo (and who knows what else along immigration lines). Is this to better secure the Hispanic vote? Skeptics wanna know.
No, it's because Odumbo wants to be known as more than a valet. Even though it's questionable if he'd have the necessary qualifications for that.
One of the most reasonable, long awaited for, most sensible, most justified, most intelligent decisions of his Presidency. There is never a bad time to bring an end to an idiotic policy.
Rubio is scared he may be sent back to Cuba. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marco Rubio Fires Back On Cuba: Obama Is The 'Worst Negotiator' In My Lifetime WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama will get no money for his Cuba policy, no ambassador will be confirmed and the embargo will never be lifted, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) vowed in a blistering press conference on Wednesday. In a historic move earlier in the day, Obama announced that the United States will begin talks with Cuba to normalize full diplomatic relations, marking the most significant shift in U.S. policy towards Cuba in 50 years. The president's remarks followed the release on Wednesday morning of American Alan Gross, who had been held in a Cuban prison for five years. Gross' release was negotiated in exchange for the freeing of three Cubans who had been jailed in the U.S. for spying. "This entire policy shift announced today is based on an illusion, based on a lie,” Rubio, who is the son of Cuban immigrants, told reporters on Capitol Hill. "The White House has conceded everything and gained little." "I’m committed to doing everything I can to unravel as many of these changes as possible," he added.
That's funny. Thank you for making me laugh. We don't agree on Obama, but I do appreciate the humor. In my thinking, Obama has been very much a mixed bag. Very few bad decisions, but a lot of ineptness. I think his decision on Cuba is one of the best moves of his presidency. It will take the Congress to remove the embargo, and by next session the Republicans will be in charge. I think they'll throw Rubio under the bus, and join the democrats in lifting the embargo. Too much money to be made and the Chamber of Commerce likes normalizing relations with Cuba. Like most Republicans, Rubio is smart, but an intellectual lightweight.
