    Barack Obama is certainly not embarrassed. That would require a sense of responsibility and he has none. He cannot feel embarrassment or shame. Liberals reject those bourgeois emotions.

    Hillary will be no different than Obama. Trump has little chance in a general election and the GOP is falling apart.

    Cruz ? That guy would be even worse than Hillary which is not an easy bar to cross.

    Deluded from the false sailor dream and from the killing of old fathers, Kastro although is trying to find light within this hero, this grammar men of Obama.

    America isn't important enough for the Cubans, let alone Obama. Can you think why they might view you with cynicism?

    How did his predecessor manage, remind us? He was too numb from the neck up to feel anything, frankly. What an idiot you managed to elect! Twice!!:roflol:

    Must be important enough for them to consider the money they need.....why would anyone trust those they deliberately refused to do business with, then take steps to at least do that much. It appears cynicism wasn't good enough excuse to walk away.

    Obama made Castro look small.. Of course the aging Castro is furious and impotent.. This move is long overdue and will help the Cuban people..

    Little communist Cuba is absolutely NO threat to the US.

    Castro achieved the crowning victory of his long campaign against the USG as the POTUS came his Cuba to cry "Uncle!". Fidel publicly shunned Obama. It was a stunning victory and validation for Castro. Obama, and the USG were humiliated and diminished. Is that supposed to be a bad thing Margot? ;-)

    Believe it or not America isn't the only nation doing business with Cuba.

    Neither were any of the tiny Latin American nations America was so terrified of, but the Yanks stuck their snouts in anyway.

    We drove Cuba into the arms of the Soviets.. See the Colorado Sugar Beet Lobby.

    There was that, yes, plus many Americans seem completely unaware that the missile crisis came about as the result of the USSR's response to America siting her nuclear missiles in Eastern Europe and Italy; pointed directly at Russia, which they correctly read as a deliberate act of provocation. Sheer stupidity on the part of America.

    It was a shameless display by Obama...a surrender of the high ground not seen by any president before. The nation will be a better place when he's gone.

    Yeah, maybe we can get a president like the last Republican who will start a "mistaken" war.

    It was certainly an epic win for Fidel and a loss for the USG. Fidel did not even have to pretend like he had any respect for Obama. The WH staff and the DOS really let him down.

    How was it an "epic win" for Fidel? He sounds like the irrelevant babbling old fool he is.

    Exactly, it's been almost eight years since we have seen any. Maybe after another year we will get to see it again.

    Obama has managed to avoid sending the troops into another ME war.

    I don't know what you people get so upset about. Yes it's fail on Obama but it will be forgotten in 2-3 weeks. It's not like it means anything.
    It's more fail on you with those meaningless wars.

    LOL! A "babbling old fool" who has out lived all his serious enemies and triumphed after over half a century of concerted US efforts to remove him. Fidel will be remembered as one of histories great winners,

    Evil often succeeds.

    Yeah, that 55 year old embargo policy didn't work to well, did it?

    Turkey wasn't it?

    I think all the kerfuffle during the Cuban Missile crisis was the Soviets wanting the USA to remove its nukes from Turkey. The US had nuclear weapons in Turkey, the USSR in Cuba. Balance of power in my mind.
