Courage
It took a lot of balls for Obama to normalize Cuban relations.
It is a long time coming.
The diehards will probably bloviate and try to undo it but that he did it is enough for now.
I remember when this started. It is a long time problem. The Cubans in Florida are almost all Republicans because that is where their main support came from. To a great extent, they are single issue assholes.
But there are plenty of politicians who pander to them including some Democrats.
There will be fierce winds. Or, maybe, it will go down better than I think it will. God knows a lot of people are tired of it and forget the reasons we got to where we are in the first place.
Fox News was nuts this morning. I thought the fuckers would go dark with the vitriol. A breed apart.
For a long time, Cuba was a Republican pet project then when he turned commie the warmth went down the drain.
That Fidel was a sexy looking bugger wasn't he?
You know, the Canadians got over this long ago. A few Canadian friends go to Cuba for the holiday. It is a wonderful place, Havana. As though time stood still.
I suppose the old cars will disappear though. This could be a real boon for the auto industry. Wait a few days for the business interests to convince their GOoPer friends to cool it.
