CUBA - PRESIDENT OBAMA - OPEN TRAVEL TO CUBA - NOW, TODAY....January, 2014
President Obama shock the World !!! Open travel, tourism, economic development to Cuba - Unilaterally today - Now...
Boycotting Cuba hasn't worked for over 50 years, Fidel Castro, the last of the larger than life world leaders from the Cold War, in enfebbled, his brother, Raul, is now in charge and elderly. President Obama was criticized for shaking his hand at the United Nations, but he did what he has preached - engagement, not War... the US must take the first step, like Nixon did in China, Open Cuba to the US economy, let the US markets / business reform Cuba, free its people from Castro(s)- let the Cuban community reunite with families that have been divided.
It could be one of President Obama's signature events in his legacy, and it would be
good for all, even the Republican / Tea Party members would eventually see the wisdom of such an effort, as US businesses rush in - where they should have been, all these years.
President Obama - Just Do It.
2ND POST:
For over 50 years - the USA has boycotted Cuba, with a misguided policy that a boycott would bring down Fidel Castro and his regime.
Well after 50 years, by any measure this policy has been a failure - Fidel and Raul Castro remain in power and the Cuban people suffer - frozen in time.
President Obama has taken small steps - but he must declare an unilateral end to the boycott of Cuba - and Open Cuba to all Americans who wish to travel and/or reunite with family and friends. No restrictions - let American bring their dollars and voices of freedom - let the Cuban people begin to feel the freedom - even if Fidel and Raoul benefit, in the short run.
A program on CNBC (Escape from Havana:An American Story)about 14,000 children secretly flown out of Cuba in the 1960's and their stories is a compelling story of survival and of the failure of US policy.
These children now seniors - some feel Cuba must be open and that American policy, that they once supported, is wrong - and the USA must open trade and travel to Cuba.
1ST POST:
Memo to President Bush,
Cuban President Fidel Castro has resigned his position today, now Raoul Castro is in charge, officially.
It is a psychological event, a time for change, transition time - even though Raoul has been in charge, this is an opening, an opportunity to take advantage of...
President Bush - Open Cuba to travel by US citizens, open it to economic aid, to all Americans - SHOCK THE WORLD, as President Nixon did with China. Don't let this opportunity slip through the cracks of ideaology.
Now is the time to OPEN Cuba to the world.
