Now I just need to find some convenient Cuban family members to visit.

Seriously, how cool is this?

Quote:
President Barack Obama directed his administration Monday to allow unlimited travel and money transfers by Cuban Americans to family in Cuba, and to take other steps to ease U.S. restrictions on the island, a senior administration official told The Associated Press.


Cuba served as a useful symbol for a while, but Castro outfoxed the strategy by surviving way too damn long. It's time to let the symbol go. Communism is dead, y'all.

Next up: legalizing pot.

Crisis averted, then! Those hurricanes would have had a clear shot at Florida.

Have they found an easy and successful way to test and see if drivers are under the influence yet? If not, I'm still against it.

As for Cuba, well, that was long overdue.

Give it 15 years or so and maybe it'll be America's playground again. Ricky Ricardo would be pleased.

That's easy.

Dirty hippie or visible minority? Then he's on pot. Everyone else is free to go.

I'm sure that the dirty Muslim terrorists will find a way to turn this against us somehow.

Doesn't need to. It's not illegal to have smoked pot, just illegal to operate a motor vehicle on the influence. Besides, it's easier to get a OWI tossed then it is DUI just because you're more likely to have paraphernalia on you at the time of the stop. Being legal or not, I'm fairly convinced that it would hold up in court pretty well.

Think akin to having an open beer in your lap when you get pulled over. That roach in the ashtray will seal the deal when the cop uses his nose to smell the marijuana. Just like booze. Reasonable suspicion and all that.

Eh, for the past thirty years or so it's been the Cuban-American community in south Florida that's been screaming that we should never ever ever recognize the evil Castro regime.

Well, it's a good thing I clean up well.

As for Cuba, imo we may as well just annex it now.

What's funny is most of you actually pretend to care for human rights. Of course Clinton did the same thing with China, and we know what humanitarians they are.

Well if the past 50 years are any measure, just ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away.

But backing down certainly sends a message to the rest of the world.

Of course Obama is good at backing down and apologizing for america.

If Obama got rid of all of your country's nukes except for one - just one - it alone would overshadow anything Iran and NK possess right now. As it is, you have like twelve hundred, none of which you will ever use.
