PRESIDENT REVERSES COURSE ON CUBA …
By FITSNEWS || This website has little use for U.S. President Barack Obama. He represents everything that’s wrong with America … and his policies (like those of most of his “Republican” frenemies) continue to inflict lasting damage to our free market, our freedom and our future generations.
And yeah we’re talking to you too, black people …
Anyway … we recently received an email from one of our Democratic readers lamenting the steady diet of anti-Obama articles on this website.
“Why can’t you write something positive about President Obama?” she wrote. “Or at least something neutral.”
Ummm … really?
We would write nice things about Obama … if he ever did things that warranted nice things being written. Which has been the problem for the last six years.
Well, until this week … when Obama decided to diplomatically recognize the island nation of Cuba and get rid of the federal government’s ridiculous travel restrictions, embargoes, etc.
“We will end an outdated approach that for decades has failed to advance our interests and instead we will begin to normalize relations between our two countries,” Obama said.
Wow … because, you know, literally four months ago America was still trying to overthrow Cuba. Sort of.
We applaud Obama’s decision. If America can have normal relations with Saudi Arabia – a country that actively participated in the terror attacks on its own citizens (which our government has covered up) – surely recognizing Cuba is no biggie.

It’s time someone stepped up to the plate and stopped the Batista Cubans in Miami from dictating U.S. Foreign Policy. Marco Rubio’s head is exploding – tough shit!
Well, at least we know that in the case of Marco, brains will NOT be flying all over the room.
And looney Ileana.
I’ll bet things are crazy on Calle Ocho in Miami tonight!
“Marco Rubio’s head is exploding – tough shit!”
How do you say “kaboom” in Spanish and also how do you say “who the fuck cares”?
I thought a few months back Fox News said Putin was planning a big military upgrade in Cuba ? I can’t wait to see it up close.
Wow, Sic. Praising Obama! So U.S. foreign policy interests in Latin America will no longer be held hostage by a tiny minority of Cuban-Americans in Florida? This issue has long had more to do with GOP politics in Florida than the foreign policy of the U.S. We can carry on diplomatic and commercial relations with Cuba just as we do with Putin’s Russia, China, the Saudis, and many other tyrants around the world. The Cold War is over. It’s time for a “grown up” policy toward Cuba.
“Wow, Sic. Praising Obama! ”
Imagine that. FITS supporting the marxists in Cuba. Ron Paul for city council!!!!
My guess is Obama is really just seeking information on the ‘death panels’ in Cuba so they can be implemented in Obamacare.
“It’s time for a “grown up” policy toward Cuba.”
Fits prefers to just stomp his feet and throw temper tantrums – waaaaahh!
Fidel has his foot in the grave and Raul isn’t far behind him. Let this silly embargo crap die before they do, I say.
If only …
“What hath Fidel brought” besides the usual from “progressive” thinking? … Grief? Gulags? Graves?
Decades ago as the US howled about political prisoners and gulags in Cuba, Castro basically said, “You want them? You can have them,” and flushed his toilet through the Mariel boatlift. Funny how “political prisoners” in Cuba became plain old psychotics and career criminals once they hit these shores.
I wonder what the old rogue has up his olive-drab sleeve as a last trick now?
Obama is a ‘closet’ muslim with a marxist world-view. he has never met a terrorist regime or communist he didn’t appease.
If you hate America, Obama loves you. Castro knows Obama is working to destroy this country.
“Obama is a ‘closet’ muslim with a marxist world-view”
Sandi/Pogo/Etc. – you really, really, really need a new schtick. Really.
You’re an “undercover” ISIS terrorist.
lol…careful ‘queer boy’. I am no longer a ‘non entity’. Flip is the ‘real deal’ and I would sure hate to own your house by Christmas. :-)
You have my email address or send me an apology on Facebook.

Choo focking talkin’ about me, mang?
Probably Raul will try those same tricks again …

Didn’t “progressive thinking” bring about the use of toilet paper instead of just using the hand? Which reminds me – please wash up prior to your next post – thanks in advance.
What’s the difference between a blue collar worker and a white collar worker? A blue collar worker washes his hands before he takes a pee … As do I, before posting. These library computers, one never knows where they have been.
Yeh but what about Communism?
Communism? What’s that? Are there any real Communists left?
Only in rightie minds and so long as you ignore GOPs favorite trading partner China.
I would not lift any embargo. But we have to admit that the Castros have never endorse orthodox Communism.
I’m a Dem. I couldn’t care less about you being anti-Obama. Just like when you are anti-Haley, anti-Graham, or anti-mayorhood(Benjamin) this blog has little to no affect on the voter. But, you do call out things that the mainstream media will fail to acknowledge, or acknowledge WAY after you have already done so.
“… this blog has little to no affect on the voter …”
But it does settle the stomach after a full meal … ;>}
“… you do call out things that the mainstream media will fail to acknowledge, or acknowledge WAY after you have already done so. …”
… burp … Feels good!
” . . . this blog has little to no affect on the voter.”
Horseshit! You must not be from around these parts.
Many a time I’ve heard folks muttering and mumbling from adjacent voting booths things along the lines of “Now who was it that Will Folks said I should vote for?” and “Yes – I can ALWAYS vote a straight Republican ticket yet still claim to not BE a Republican ’cause FitsNews tells me so” . . . .
Liar.

Now we can get cigars and the car collectors will have a great time buying all the old cars in Cuba.
Does this mean that the mob can build some new casinos in Cuba?
Yes! Will the Cubanos reciprocate? Will they allow visits and/or investments from the Native Tribes?
(The Spanish influenced Cubans have a lot of owning up to do … Considering that the Spanish invasion of the 16th century killed 100 Million North American Natives. [See “1491” by Charles Mann – http://www.amazon.com/1491-nueva-historia-Americas-Spanish/dp/1609805151/ )
“1491” and “1493”…very interesting books highly recommended by TBG.
Does this mean that we have to return Guantanamo to Cuba, along with the detainees? Perhaps the Castros will offer those detainees full citizenship. Lots of possibilities to think about.
We have a perpetual lease, but the commies only cashed one check, by mistake.
Forgot about that, especially the cashed check. It was part of my Navy indoctrination into intelligence on communist regimes.
“… indoctrination into intelligence on communist regimes …”?
Your jocularity is showing.
Perhaps I could have phrased that differently, but it was late in the evening, and I was so impressed that someone else knew about the book, and I was becoming v..e..r..y, v..e..r..y.. tired.
Mmmmmm … I did not know you were writing anything … But good on ya.
BTW: I learned a lot about writing projects from Neil Stephenson … He writes for two hours, solid and steady, every day, rain or shine, treating it just like a regular job = ten 1,000 page novels in less than ten years.
A former sweetheart of mine gave me the book by Stephen King
‘s book on writing. He did about the same thing. Me – whenever a thought hits me. I’ve even saved interesting posts from various commentators for future reference. If I don’t complete a lot of what I intended to do I’ll be the busiest guy in the sanitarium in my old age.
I have been waiting since the day after the 2009 Inauguration for this to happen.
The embargo won’t be lifted by the Congress – I curse Bill Clinton for not vetoing the Helms-Burton Act which codified – but, BY GOD, we will not have our nation’s foreign policy dictated by a handful of descendants of supporters of a fascist/Mafioso Cuban dictator bound and determined to extract revenge on the people who overthrew him one day longer. Praise Be! If we can have relations with China and Russia, not having them with Cuba is beyond absurd.
Now, if we can just end the same situation concerning Israel. Americans need to decide American foreign policy not ‘Americans’ whose primary loyalty is elsewhere.
ISIS couldn’t have said it better, you fucking moron.
“ISIS couldn’t have said it better, you fucking moron.”
See post above about getting a new schtick.
When it goes limp like that, it’s pretty much all over.
ISIS couldn’t have said it better, you fucking moron.
Nope, don’t think you could’ve said it better.
I can hardly wait to buy a few Cohibas at the local tobacco shop and say loudly, “Thanks a lot, Obama!”
We’ll see just how free the people of Cuba become.
If any of you want to visit, go for it, just watch your six..
Yes, ultimately this will spell the death kneel for the Castro Brother’s version of communism. Give it some time …
Those coming wild eyed poli-wog wannabes will be totally out of their depth when they try explain their brand of social “just us” and economic “management” to the already too savvy masses …
“Bring it … bring the heat …”, Sailor … ;>}
Obama could not organize a one car funeral.
Unless it was for Dick Cheney.
I think we should bury him in the desert in a 53 chevy, grill down.
Cadillac Ranch w/ Cheney behind the wheel of the lead car, a tribute mausoleum.
perfect.
Well, if a world record black bass is caught in Cuba, will B.A.S.S. recognize it?
This is the underlying question.
Cuba! What a county. It takes care of its poor. Where else would a bellhop in a tourist hotel make more than a doctor? Now that’s equality.
If only they could go back to the days of the casinos when a woman could make a good living hooking.
Is there anyone left in Cuba? I thought they were all living in the US now.
Their jails emptied out into ours.
Are you crazy. They have nuclear weapons that can reach America. They have huge manufacturing plants that are sucking away American jobs. They export to us way more than we export to them. They have a fixed exchange rate, and are buying our debt like crazy. And we’re going to open an embassy there…… oh wait – that’s China. Sorry. Forget about it.
Don’t forget – they hit us on 9/11!

Is he a wife beater too?
Godzilla would whip Barry’s ass. He doesn’t dare.
Gun violence, deregulation of banks, outsourcing, war on drugs, censorship, unreasonable search and seizure, religious bigotry, Southern poverty, lack of education, bailout legislation, torture, war, pollution…
Yep. We all know that the Cuba policy was created by the Kennedy familia in response to the mafia being run out of there. Interesting thing, Castro first turned to the US for assistance, was snubbed, and then turned to the communists. WE were actually the first choice to help rebuild Cuba, and we blew it because of Kennedy spite. Imagine if there had been no Cuban Missile Crisis….
