2014: Ebola, ISIS, Putin, guns, racism, sexism, xenophobia and climate change are still around...but now you can face them with a good Cuban cigar!
2015
“Never could figure out why having relations with China, Russia and Vietnam were O.K. but having relations with Cuba was such a No-No!”Because the trade embargo was never about communism or human rights. It was a protest against Castro nationalizing property owned by wealthy Americans and pro-US Cuban elites.
Hmm, and those other issues fade from the minds when there’s a good “commie plot” underway at the White House. That Cuba became such a distraction, from those other distractions, like Ebola that isn’t a threat is a testament to the “fear factor” in media in 2014. If we could get someone to actually report news that is factual, and the “public” will be open to hearing the truth, and act on it, 2015 could be the start of something big!

He could have before, it just took more planning to obtain them.

The sad thing is it took 50 years to get rid of a ridiculously outdated policy.

Well, no more than 100 at a time, for the present.

Couldn’t they use the $6 billion that was missing from the register after Hillary’s shift ended at the State Department to build an embassy in Havana?
