Cuba rolls out red carpet for historic Obama trip despite embargo

Disgusting a sitting US President would visit a communist dictatorship. Just another ridiculous episode for Barry O. However, he will feel right at home among his fellow travelers.

I've been in Cuban waters on business but was chased out by a Osa II missle boat. Damn thing kept on us even in International waters until that is when two armed U.S. Navy helicopters showed up on scene. Thing tucked tail and ran. I have video of that somewhere should see if I can digitize it.

Anyway I for one would love to head to Havana as a welcomed tourist this time. Heck, Id even buy 'Barry O' a beer!

I was in Cuba two years ago. Canadians have been vacationing there for years. Nice place, nice people. I was in Jamaica last year same time as Obama was. I think he's following me around.

American's have always been allowed to travel and vacation in Cuba. Its just that it was made to be such pain in the butt to make travel arrangments, most never bothered. We frequently ran across U.S. travelers on boats coming back from Cuba which was not against any U.S. law. What was against the law was if they had any merchandise purchased in Cuba aboard. Then we dropped the hammer on'em pretty hard.

And yes, they are nice people. I even met one of Cuba's boxing champs. He was on an inner tube trying to make it to the U.S. Towering powerful man when I first looked upon him I thought oh crap. But he just smiled and gave me a hug he was so happy to be picked up by us.

You mean like Reagan?

Richard Nixon meets with Red Chinas Communist Leader Mao Zedong in Beijing, February 21, 1972. Americans rejoice! All hail diplomacey and Richard Nixon.

Ronald Reagan meets the source of all evil in the world. USSR's Communist Leader Mikail Gorbachev, October 11, 1986. Americans rejoice! All hail diplomacey and Ronald Reagan.

Barrack Obama meets the last of the old guard, Cuba's Communist Leader Raul Castro, March 21, 2016. Seen today by a few as a stupid, silly, jesture by a closet mooslim who has been bent on destroying the constitution, murica, mom and apple pie.

But FDR was one of them damn libruls. Everyone knows that they're just the same as those commies, anyway. You'd never see Saint Raygun paling around with any commies!

Yep, all the way back to Tehran in 1943 and they met again at Yalta in 1945.

Reagan also visited Red China in the spring of 1984:

It is no secret that President Obama wants to close the Guantanamo naval base, which is on his bucket list.
This is his big chance to destroy any trust we had in this lame duck president.

I hope he has a hole in his bucket

Washington has had a permanent lease on the territory since 1903, over vehement protests from Havana, which wants the 120 square kilometers (45 square miles) back.
