'No change' from Obama, says Cuba

Cuba has accused US President Barack Obama of not doing enough to end the US trade embargo against the island despite his promise to improve ties.

>

In the first official Cuban reaction, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said the embargo was obsolete and unacceptable, and should be lifted.

>

On Monday, President Obama extended the US trade embargo on Cuba for another year, saying it was in the US national interest.

"Cuba has accused US President Barack Obama of not doing enough to end the US trade embargo against the island despite his promise to improve ties."

Cuba has? Hello. Anybody home? So has every nation in the world (excluding a couple of US lackey nations, like Guam and Israel) for a couple of decades now.

America's shoes seem to be stuck in cement.
