Fire up the all inclusives and cruise ship docks!! Cuba is the biggest island in the Caribbean and has a ton of room to grow.

Now to set up an old car import business.
Set up a business to export rugged used cars to Cuba instead. Somebody's going to get really rich doing that.

It wasn't coincidence. Almost every Cuban I know tends to lean towards the right. There are exceptions, of course, but generally that is the case.

Yep, and the democratic senator who was the loudest critic of opening Cuba is now under investigation and has been indicted. The democratic critics have been silenced.

Worked so well with Gen petreus who was outspoken against Obama's middle east action. Silence via persecution.

So how about that Joann Chesimard? Will obama pardon her?

Fine open Cuba but Obama gave away the store. He truly has no ability to negotiate. He is a bull in a china shop except the with the people he is expected to and rolls over in negotiations with our enemies.

This should be interesting. Easier access for terrorists from Iran and the middle east to enter our country and a haven for terrorists that escaped our shores.

The young ones still lean to the right, but i've hit a few blogs and found that Cuban American youth generally side with Obama on this one.

Petraeus was persecuted? LOL...Obama forced him to have an affair? Interesting.

Nevermind Joann Chesimard. That is, unless you're willing to turn over all Cuban criminals that we have in the United States that the Castros would love to have in their custody.

And you aren't willing to do that.

Now to the real meat...Obama "gave away the store?"

What store? That country is called Cuba; this country is called the United States. He didn't "roll over in negotiations with our enemies." Cuba isn't our enemy. They're a sovereign nation, and what they do within Cuba is none of our business. Obama doesn't need to negotiate anything with Cuba except for when do we resume full trade and open embassies.

As for your assertion about terrorists from Iran and the Middle East...that's not even worth addressing.
