Obama: Isolating Cuba hasn’t worked:

I happen to agree with Mr. O on this issue.

Any and all attempts of the USA to pressure Cuba into changing their policies over the last 50 years have not worked, so there is no sense beat a dead horse!

The cigar smoking father of the Cuban people has been steadfast and survived pretty well under the circumstances.

This change in policy is going to put Cuba back on the map as the Las Vegas of the Caribbean.  Their economy will once again flourish.

Maybe Castro can get rid of some of those 58 Chevies.

Mr. O gets a  today.

This is exactly what the good American people want to see their president do; make some meaningful progress in the right directions.

Being I am of a disbelieving nature, this comment is just for the record; I may be a slightly suspicious of this transformation or change of heart. There can be billions of dollars attached to this deal.
