10. As in: neo liberal economic liberalization.
Liberalize Cuba? HA! Its all babble/code for corporate rule and US domination.

Bring US corporatocracy to Cuba - again. USA will save the day for Cubans - again.

NOT!


Obama (and the other Dem and repug candidate) and many DUers express maintenance of the US Platt Amendment to control Cuba.

I embrace real liberal progressives. Not those who feel that its our duty to change Cuba - especially not those pandering to the anti Cuba terrorist supporters and enemies of Cuba. Not those who ignorantly diminish the exemplary works of the Cuban people by calling their revolution "Castro's revolution".

Cubans in Cuba are quite capable of creating the changes they desire.

Their world class social infrastructure stats bear that out. It is all Cubans working hard together with their government that moves their revolution forward.

Can Americans make claims about their world class social infrastructure? Not any more (if ever).

Let's see the motivation of Mr Obama and this nation in tackling the deteriorating and critical social infrastructure issues in the US first.

How can we possibly show Cuba the way in this regard when they are further along the pathway than we are? We should be opening our doors, our hearts, and minds to learn from them.

Maintaining the blockade and travel sanctions on non Cubans (all the rest of us in the US) is the status quo Mr Obama claims to want to retain. We won't get very far that way.

But, of course, with the US campaign funding methodologies being completely corrupt as they are, the status quo rules (read: keeps the money rolling in to both sides of the issue).


I'm not a single issue voter, but regarding US Cuba/Latin American policies, we again have to choose between the lesser of evils.
