President Obama Arrives In Cuba For Historic Visit

[deltex1]

The visit is the first by a U.S. president in 88 years.

HAVANA (Reuters) - President Barack Obama embarked on Sunday on a historic trip to Cuba where a Communist government that vilified the United States for decades prepared a red-carpet welcome.

Lifting off from Andrews Air Force Base outside Washington, Obama headed for Havana where the sight of Air Force One, America’s iconic presidential jet, touching down on Cuban soil would have been unimaginable not long ago.

The three-day trip, the first by a U.S. president in 88 years, is the culmination of a diplomatic opening announced by Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro in December 2014, ending a Cold War-era estrangement that began when the Cuban revolution ousted a pro-American government in 1959.

Obama, who abandoned a longtime U.S. policy of trying to isolate Cuba, now wants to make his shift irreversible. But major obstacles remain to full normalization of ties, and Obama’s critics at home say the visit is premature.

Disgusting and deplorable; just like every time I see Air Force One landing on Socialist or Communist territory.

Yeah, nuking is much more fun than diplomacy.

Don't even have to nuke that shit hole. Simply fully blockade the island and see how long they survive under FULL Isolation. StRt making these other Socialist nations pay for their own security and defense.

I agree! And seeing all the old cars would be a real treat. It takes a lot of ingenuity to keep all those old cars on the road. Cubans obviously have talent.

Great to see the Obama family...

A diplomatic breakthrough

You mean a automatic black breakthrough. Obama is the new OJ Simpson of presidents, blacks think he could do no wrong. Trailer trash whites love him.

As our racists chime in

Have you seen where Blacks rank in Cuba? Think about that the next time you see a Black wearing a Che shirt.

A good market for Cuban ancient car memorabilia exists in the US.

This visit completely disarms the anti-Obama Cubans in Miami. Their kids and grand kids will say, "It is over, gramps. Can we go to Cuba next year?"

Another great day for American-Cuban relations. Thank you, President Obama!
