ONE thing this clown has done RIGHT.., but some may argue THAT.

We'll give him osama also even though it was the work of the CIA that found him. Not much else in six years.
SuperLib
Nice.

Great job. It's about time.
This will benefit both normal Cubans and Americans.

54% of Cuban Americans think Obama is out of his mind for doing this. The man made a deal with the Castro brothers and got nothing in return. Will they give their people complete unrestricted freedom to leave when they want, NO. Will they pay NOW their people in USD or Euro instead of worthless Pesos? NO. Will the Cuban government send back some violent murderes that Cuba has been horboring for over the last 30 years? NO! Give up everything vans receive nothing in return.
Only 662 days left until the madness of Obama is truly behind us.

So? The vast majority of Americans and an even higher percentage of those around the world know it's the right thing to do. FINALLY.
Cubans already can travel abroad. It's been that way for several years now.
This has little to do with the Castros or Obama and everything to do with ending a cold war that should have ended decades ago.

The American people are not Cubans and most DO NOT understand Cuban politics or its history. They find it good, why? To go and soak up the sun at the beach and to drink Mojitos? No, the majority of Cuban Americans don't approve.
The few that have political connections or affluent families abroad, the small minority.
No, it has EVERYTHING to do with Obama and his selfish hunger to secure his legacy.

All Americans get priority over just Cuban-Americans

This is not about Americans, this is entirely about the Castro brothers and their brutal strangle hold on that country.

Back in December when the deal was announced, this was your only comment in the thread:
Did you recently read a book about Cuban history or something?
bass4funk
Yes, I said that, nothing wrong with that statement. I do hope to go there one day, but NOT as long as the Castro brothers are present and the current political and social climate still stands in Cuba! I would never give my money to those thugs.
But anyway, nice try.
Pandabelle
This is completely untrue. I suggest you learn about it further before commenting further.
bass4funk
No, it's very true.
