Subject: Obama Goes to Cuba for Spring Break

A nice memory for the girls of his.  I've heard the Scuba Diving is spectacular there. 

So what are your thoughts on him going to this communist country? or is it a Socialist country?

I am all in favor of normalizing relations with Cuba, and I see this this visit as just another step in the right direction, so am 100% in favor of the trip by the POTUS and family.

I think the majority of scholars, etc. would classify Cuba as Socialist with the hope/plan of becoming a full Communist society.

Me too, it's long overdue imo. I've never understood how ignoring them was in our best interest. 

I do have to wonder though, if this isn't a bit of research to get some more/better ideas for Hope & Change? 

I thought it was funny on how they claim that all of their financial problems are because of the naval blockade we have in place.

Ideas on what?  That's like a 3rd world country anymore.

I have a friend who was there a couple of weeks ago, and he said that it's already much more developed than when he was there in the '90's and early 2000's.

Havana used to be famous for having all of these vintage 50's and 60's era American cars, but those are mostly just taxis for tourists now. Most people who drive have newer cars.

There are already a few Canadian and European hotel chains, and I read today that Starwood resorts is the first US-based chain to enter into a deal to open hotels in Havana. I'm sure others will follow.

He said that wi-fi is much more widely available, especially in hotels and other more modern facilities. The last time he was there, it was only cable-based Internet.

One interesting thing was that he said that the hotels are pretty expensive, which was a surprise. Food is still very inexpensive, but the hotel rates have definitely gone up significantly.

USAT took a contingent there for a continental cup race in Feb....and Cubans were present at the Jr. cup race in Sarasota a couple of weeks ago.  It's good for everybody.

While I agree that relations with Cuba need to be normalized and the best way for the Cuban people to get more freedoms, economic and otherwise, is for freer trade with the US, I think Dictator Castro attempted to use President Obama as a puppet as much as possible (literally and figuratively).

The Castro regime will only push for "normalization" so long as it doesn't threaten their stranglehold on power.

Agree, I think it's a good thing.

I don't necessarily know what the best path forward is, but I am fairly confident that continuing to do what we have been doing will do little to relieve the oppression.

I am all for normalizing relations with Cuba. Nothing will ever get resolved if the status quo is maintained.

Four boats from our yacht club sailed to Cuba; they just got back last week. I am looking forward to hearing about the trip, as I have a keen interest in making the trip, as well.
