Obama: US "Seeks A New Beginning" With Cuba (VIDEO)

Quote:
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad — Trading their warmest words in a half-century, the United States and Cuba built momentum toward renewed ties on Friday, with President Barack Obama declaring he "seeks a new beginning" _ including direct talks _ with the island's communist regime. As leaders of the Americas gathered for a summit in this Caribbean nation, the head of the Organization of American States even said he'll ask his group to invite Cuba back after 47 years
This in my opinion is long over due! Besides, if I could only get my hands on a box of Havana's that would be great...

South Florida could once again have an economy (other than drugs).

I like this move. 47 years of economic sanction have not brought about their desired effects, so perhaps a little trade liberalization will.

I'd like to get a hold of those cigars. Ice cold beer and a Havana would suit me just fine...

I hear you. I wouldn't mind grabbing myself a Cuban hottie and enjoying some Cuban salsa dancing after enjoying the sun and sand for an afternoon.

Well what does he have to lose really ? Other tactics the US has used haven't worked so I say let him give it a shot.

This might be the one good thing Obama does for his one and only term

Ooooh, sorry. Comebacks don't count unless they're clever. So, sorry my friend, only one term for Mr. Obama.
