You flatter yourself. Outwitting you is neither a challenge nor an accomplishment. Considering how many spurious assertions of yours I've blown up, I see why you'd like me to ignore you.

Exactly. You lift sanctions, befriend the Cuban people, the Communist government weakens. Cuba is a beautiful island, her people full of potential. We should have been reaching out to them long ago, not slamming the door in their faces.

Done right, Cuba could be raking in untold millions of tourist dollars. Win/win for almost everybody.

Question I have (aka I am wondering) as to why now? Release of Alan Gross? Probably not just that. There is something far reaching here. For all I know, Mr. Obama may be trying to get under Putin 's skin. Also wonder what the GOP reaction will be.
It's the right thing to do. (Call it legacy-building if you want.)

And now is a lower-risk time to do it, politically. Mid-terms over, max time available until next election.
