Conservatives would like the same outcome, but actually get a payoff for the normalization of relations in terms of movement towards democracy and human rights instead of just a prisoner swap.
This is appeasement. Ending it this way more or less wasted everything we did before it.

The main reason for the regime's policy change towards Cuba is so Obama can hire the Cuban health officials to fill departments with jobs that Americans can not or will not do the work.

Of course that's the truth. So when people wave the flag with their bullshit and so called "principles"....its a real laugher. Something that should of happened 30 years ago.....if you are allowed to move Wal Mart to China what's some puke island 90 miles away matter? Threat to us? What a joke that is. Gee, why do some hate us? We never talk out of both sides of our mouths. No hypocrisy in the good old USA. And of course China will buy the bonds......now they got us by the balls. But people keep backing democrats and republicans. They've been running things so well, sticking to our founding principles and all...just read it around here and listen to Fox and Frauds or MSNBC...they'll tell you how its everyone else's fault and make you feel warm and safe. Did you hear? There's a war on Christmas too.....  You can't even make up stuff this stupid. But people eat it up.

Trading three assassins/spies for one hapless fool doesn't cut with me. Defending such a stupid move by saying we can now buy Cuban cigars shows an intellectual ineptness by our 'journalists' in the news media.

Just 3 months ago, Obama affirmed Cuba's enemy status, and extended the embargo for one year. Now this?  What a phreakin joke we have for a President.

Not to mention the fact that Cuba was caught sending arms to North Korea, earlier this year. Which, according to the U.N., violates the embargo on North Korea.

Obama Bailout of a Dictator
Quote:
Carter couldn’t save Castro, but Obama did. This was not a prisoner exchange. This was a Communist bailout.
Obama boasted that he would increase the flow of money to Cuba from businesses, from bank accounts and from trade. When he said, “We’re significantly increasing the amount of money that can be sent to Cuba”, that was his real mission statement.
The Castro regime is on its last legs. Its sponsors in Moscow and Caracas are going bankrupt due to failing energy prices. The last hope of the Butcher of Havana was a bailout from Washington D.C.
And that’s exactly what Obama gave him.
Obama has protected the Castros from regime change as if Communist dictators are an endangered species.

The only reason Cuba is on that list is because Cuba opposes the U.S.-led "war on terror". Otherwise...Cuba wouldn't be on the same list with Iran, Sudan and Syria. We invaded Iraq and Afghanistan while citing terrorism concerns; why haven't THOSE countries ever been on the list?
