Powerline: The Washington Post editorial board documents the pathetic failure of the Obama administration’s Cuba policy under the bleak headline: “Failure In Cuba.” Whether it is a failure, of course, depends on what you think Obama was trying to achieve.
President Obama’s opening to Cuba seems to be failing to live up to its declared goals. When the end to a half-century of hostility was announced in December 2014, the proclaimed U.S. purpose was to “unleash the potential of 11 million Cubans,” to “engage and empower the Cuban people,” and to “empower the nascent Cuban private sector,” among other things. …
Yet there is scant evidence so far of a sea change in Cuba — perhaps because Mr. Obama continues to offer the Castro regime unilateral concessions requiring nothing in return.
So, it’s not just Iran. It is Obama’s foreign policy. more
Remember the good ol’ days when he was only bowing to despots? And the mayor of Tampa?
You mean a former ward politician from Chicago who served 743 days in the Senate didn’t have the foreign policy skills to negotiate deals on an international level???
Whoda thunk it…?
;P
Obama, “It’s the commie way or no way.” Well or the muslim way.
“Well, actually, my experience in foreign policy is probably more diverse than most others in the field. I’m somebody who has actually lived overseas, somebody who has studied overseas. I majored in international relations.”–Barkah Soetoro
Obama’s only goal is to empower those that seek to destroy America. Period. That’s all he’s interested in. Communists, islamic savages, feral murdering thugs who look like his “son”… doesn’t matter. If you hate America and work to destroy it he’s with you.
So, why is the obvious so obscure to the political class?
Or isn’t it?
The cartoon isn’t the best representation. To be correct obozo would be much closer. . . and on his knees.
It was a great deal for Marxists!
Here is the foreign policy of our Kenyan Communist Moslem-In-Chief:
Simply put, if it’s a Leftist despot or Hate-America Despot, then by all means cave in to them and require no concessions in return.
Geez. So I guess we shouldnt do business with China , Russia, Saudi… oh wait, they have oil , nevermind. Carry on
We shouldn’t. We have our own oil, China makes inferior products and Cuba has nothing we need.
