Give Cuba back to the Cubans.

How long until there's an MLB team in Havana?

They have more than enough home grown talent that's for sure.

They'd probably win the world series the first year.

How can gaining approval from a body with less than 10% approval have any validity? I think Obama should just text GOP members his EO for the day and let them squirm.

It's about the (BIG) money. 'They' (our fearless leaders) have been hanging on hoping the regime changes, so the massive amount of money about to be made there (mostly real estate almost certainly) would go to someone other than Castro and his cronies.

But it was bound to happen sooner or later. Plus, this minor thing draws attention away from the rest of Obama's horrible overall foreign policy

Are we referring to Benghazi? Or show me a real foreign policy failure.
Even Israel will welcome an Obama visit.

Seems they'll welcome anybody. Sen. Elect Joni Ernst and Dr. Ben Carson are there right now.

Perhaps the enemies of liberty are such only because they judge it by its loud voice. If they knew its charms, the dignity that accompanies it, how much a free man feels like a king, the perpetual inner light that is produced by decorous self-awareness and realization, perhaps there would be no greater friends of freedom than those who are its worst enemies.
