Cuba
Obama is moving to normalize relations with Cuba. Good.

After 50 years of sanctions in Cuba and North Korea what has been accomplished besides starving the people. Nothing.

The only reason you care about this is because the majority of US Cubans are Republicans. Here's what's going to happen when this political bullshit with Cuba is over. The Cubans with enough money will head back to Cuba so fast you won't see them for the dust. If I were a Cuban American, I would as well. I'd be the fuck out of this country as soon as I could get everything in order.

BTW - putting the Cubans and the North Koreans in the same basket is bullshit. Cuba is of absolutely no danger to this country. North Korea is a different story. North Korea is a danger to everybody who isn't North Korean, and probably a danger to most North Koreans as well.

Grand scale?

Normalization with Cuba is a very minor thing.

Who are you to tell someone else what motivates/informs their thinking? BTW, the most vocal opponents to Obama's Cuba initiative are Republicans.

I support normalized relations with Cuba too. Please tell me, Ike, why it is that I think this way.

Ike, how much money would it take to get you out of this country. I will help a little.

Only stipulations is that when you realize just how fucking stupid you are, you can't come back.

Hellyeah!

Free universal healthcare on a par with any first world county.

Free higher education.

Awesome salt water fishing.

No goddamned racism.

I'd go Hemingway in a minute for that!

The young Cuban Americans will support the president, but the old guard will rally against it.

Remove the sanctions and the Castros will lose their cover.
