Style over Substance in the search for a legacy

[Tom]

Formal relations with Cuba.
What does this mean for the people involved:

Cuban government - will make millions or billions of $$$ by skimming off the to of all US dollars that will come to Cuba - USA nw fully supports their human rights violations, that just last week, we called them out on

Obama - a legacy for the simple minded who will this is a great achievement

US Citizens - no upside, no reimbursements for the billions stolen from them by the outlaw Castro brothers

Cuban people - no benefit - they still wil in poverty under a murderous dictatorial government, living off whatever Raul will throw them, no matter how much US money comes in

US Big Business - BINGO! Cash cow handed over them by Obama, whom they have bought and paid for.

Style of over substance - Obama has not one ounce of compassion for the people in Cuba. He gave away the store on this one got nothing for the people of either country.

Once again, the big-business party, the dems, step on the working man.

Will the carpet baggers repeat what happened in Greece when they come in to help Cuba? Will the US be leading the way?

Still searching for a legacy deal with Iran too, as yet another deadline passed without results yesterday.

But Obama says he will walk away without a deal if Iran doesn't agree to his demands.

President Obama threatened to "walk away" from a nuclear deal with Iran if it fails to keep tabs on the country's compliance, as the negotiations were extended past their original Tuesday deadline amid sharp disagreements.




"My hope is they can achieve an agreement," Obama said.

But he added that, "I've said from the start, I will walk away from the negotiations if in fact it's a bad deal."

This after an administration spokesman said this week that Iran agreement to full inspections was not a precondition to a deal. I don't know which he wants more, Iran or Cuba.

He announced today that diplomatic relations with Cuba will be resumed, and each country will open an embassy. Good luck on Senate confirmation of a US Ambassador to Cuba.

They owned over half of what was stolen. Most of the rest was owned by Bastia supporters who had stolen it themselves.

More than just casinos lost out - but you knew that.

But the lion’s share of the confiscated property—originally valued at $1.8 billion, which at 6 percent simple interest translates to nearly $7 billion today—was sugar factories, mines, oil refineries, and other business operations belonging to American corporations, among them the Coca-Cola Co., Exxon, and the First National Bank of Boston. A 2009 article in the Inter-American Law Review described Castro’s nationalization of US assets as the “largest uncompensated taking of American property by a foreign government in history.”

But hey, are we going to let that stand in the way of a good legacy?
After, what's 7 billion when Obama has already spent 20 trillion on one.
