In general, most lawmakers back this action. They may rant and scream on TV, but behind closed doors, most know this is long overdue.

Liberals like Obama love dictators, whether they are socialist dictators or Communist despots.

If they block Obama on this, it will be because they are racists who are at war against Hispanics, and only oppose Obama because he is black.

Long overdue.

We obviously need to keep the pressure on the Cuban government to move forward. But we've got a lot more power in a "normalized" environment than we do when we pretend they don't exist.

Grow up.

It's 2014. The Cold War is OVER.

When I was in Detroit, I didn't have that issue myself

However, now that I'm back in Tennessee, its a bit of a drive to Windsor to El Paso

I'd rather be able to go down to my local cigar shop and buy a true churchill length Cuban Cohiba.
