Because Nixon did China, and Obama did Cuba. They hate it because it is Obama. That, and Cuba has a Cold War connotation with America that China never could really match for some reason, even though the right-wing "We lost China (i.e. meaning the Democrats) propaganda was really entrenched.
If it was a GOP president doing this Rubio would be cart-wheeling and doing high-fives with Jeb Bush.
