¨Congress Stands In The Way Of Lifting The U.S. Embargo On Cuba¨
Oh, that’s just swell. And I was so excited when I read the news today.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) also criticized the move. “Relations with the Castro regime should not be revisited, let alone normalized, until the Cuban people enjoy freedom – and not one second sooner,” he said. “If anything, this emboldens all state sponsors of terrorism.”
Cue the list of countries we have normal diplomatic relations with, whose human rights records fall way way south of Cuba’s.

BTW, I’m listening to World View with Jerome McDonald, and they report that there is literally dancing in the streets in Havana.

The pressure from the business community on Congress to lift the embargo makes its end merely a matter of time.

There is not one goddamn thing Obama can do that the Republicans would support.
Republicans… party before country.

Sighs Yet another knee jerk reaction by the hair trigger knees of the GOTP sound machine.
Is there any Obama linked initiative , anything at all that these n00bs have not railed against within one minute of it’s being announced. Their willful ignorance is tiring…
Idiots like Cruz, Rubio, Aqua-Buddha and Boehner always seem to have a news mike handy wherever they might be.

They’ll fold like a wet napkin, but not before further alienating Latinos. Please proceed, Congress-critters.
Actually, its Republicans…money before country. These guys will turn on their own party for a bit of a fat plutocrat’s wallet.

The White House is keeping its expectations low for congressional action.
Pretty sure that is S.O.P. for the admin.

You can bet that Rubio, Menendez and the others who favor taking a hard line on the current Cuban regime will resist to the bitter end though.
I want Menendez and Rubio to go home tonight, and look through their belongings and see how many are made in China. Then I want them to STFU for all eternity on this issue.
