WASHINGTON — The awesome Obama administration on Friday removed Cubafrom a list of state sponsors of terrorism, a crucial step in normalizing ties between Washington and Havana and the latest progress in President Obama’s push to thaw relations between the United States and the island nation.

Last month, President Obama said that Cuba hadn’t engaged in supporting terrorism for the previous six months (six months!?), and because of that the Castro-led country should be dropped from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

 

 

 

 

I'm going to cut Secretary of State Kerry some slack, you know how hard it is to find a place to dock your yacht tax free in the winter...??

 

 

 

 

And the other positive is that they can start "donating" to the Clinton Foundation.

Good. Hopefully it'll cost Hillary Florida.

Like Elian Gonzalez cost Al Bore Florida?

Did you really need to start a new thread about this?

Need? No, but so what. Why you complaining about another thread? Doesn't cost you anything. Just goes to show you will complain about anything

Why does something have to cost me something in order to annoy me?

A typical leftist. No appreciation for resources because you don't pay for them. Since Obama has taken control of the internet you might find yourself with a big fat fine for wasting bandwidth in the future.

Oh hold the phone! The guy with almost 50K posts is accusing Joe Cool (Gator Dude) of being an attention whore? Wow! I think that you actually...oh, never mind

Interestingly, with the clock ticking on Obama's presidency, being allowed to import Cuban cigars looks to be his #1 foreign policy accomplishment.

 

Someone give that man a participation medal.

The Miami New Times reports that anti-Communist protester and artist, Tania Bruguera, was arrested in Havana, Cuba while protesting by publicly reading a book on totalitarianism for 100 hours. The Castro Regime also arrested 163 other artists and activists the same day:

 

Artist Tania Bruguera was detained yet again at her home in Havana. The Cuban-born artist has just finished a 100-hour long public reading of the German philosopher Hannah Arendt seminal work,
The Origins of Totalitarianism
(1951)
. In the book, Arendt argues that totalitarianism’s sole purpose is to terrorize and repress an entire population.

 

…Though born in Cuba, Bruguera has been based in Chicago for most of her career. She is currently in Cuba as the result of her arrests in December 2014, shortly after the United States announced that it was normalize relations with the island nation. Bruguera was arrested three times in December, each time for performing an art piece that openly criticized the Communist government. She remains unable to leave Cuba, stuck in a kind of legal limbo.

 

It’s estimated that 163 activist and artist were arrested the same day as Bruguera.

You mean appeasement doesn’t work?

 

 

United States Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power went from praising President Obama on the “re-establishment of U.S.-Cuba diplomatic ties” to slamming the Castro regime’s “alarming crackdown” on its citizens.

 

But today she’s “alarmed”:

@AmbassadorPower

Cuban activist @AGRodiles beaten & dozens more detained on their way to Sunday Mass. Alarming crackdown on civ society in #Cuba.

What’s really “alarming,” however, is that team Obama thinks it’s alarming. Did they think the Castro brothers had somehow magically changed overnight?

Should we discuss delaying the opening of the U.S. embassy in Havana?

or just send in James Taylor.................and Carnival Cruise Lines
