Cubans here and in Cuba are traumatized by big daddy (Castro). If you want to make a man important keep mentioning him at every moment.(perfect example above).By referencing Castro we give this man importance that we all know he doesnt deserve. The man above keeps getting re-elected on flaky,corny slogans like "Castro Bad, and Cuba libre".we want someone who is helping out distric not talking about decades old politics of Cuba. What a loser.Cut the crap.lets move past cuba and worry about USA.
Truth and nothing but the truth in this video...Hope someone would listen:Prisoners are tortured, sick prisoners are deprived of medical attention, prisoners are ill fed, prisoners are condemned by "kangaroo" courts ... As long as the military dictatorship that governs Cuba continues to incarcerate -friend and foe- for political reasons, it is inexcusable to soften our decades long isolation of that regime.
It amazes me to read some of the comments viewed here. The ignorance is atrocious and denies the facts: Cuba IS a deadly dictatorship, Cubans will NOT be helped by granting the Castros credit so they can purchase more good for their goons and sycophants, the Embargo does NOT deny entry to food and medicines, only to certain equipment and machinery that will enhance Castro's power.
People, please quit being such imbeciles and stop crying out against the Embargo and the Republican Party.
This is very amusing. A very angry man. Who is laundering money for these states? Your country. I am not a Communist, but you are responsible for Castro being successul. Trying to F over Cuba for a hundred years or more. Sadness.
The Diaz-Balart family knows personally what most Americans have no clue of. They lived what most others can only study when it comes to Castro and the modern history of Cuba. The elder Diaz-Balart unmasked Castro as a fraud years before anyone else caught on. On the topic of Cuba and Castro, any definition of "open minded" should include due consideration of the knowledge this family can share with the rest of the world.
Why can't we have someone like you Mr Diaz-Balart run for president and represent Republican values instead of that idiot McCain who refused to attack Obama on any issue and handed over the elections to him. Our only hope is to have enough politicians like you to save this country from internal destruction.
Republicans are so desperate! This is no good, we need the original republican party, the party of Ron Paul, This guy has no clue, like most of the Bush's republican party. Their culture of fear, born out of ignorance is astonishing..
the eight years of the former administration destroyed our standing in the americas - the president is taking the right course in re-engaging the mostly democratic countries in the americas - we cannot afford to follow our old foreign policies
Are you crazy? There are reasons we don't do business w/ certain nations. Do a little bit of history research before making those assinine comments. The United States is going to Hell in a handbasket, because we have too many voters that have no comprehension of history. Ever hear of the Bay of Pigs? That was a little more than 8 years ago.
Nobody likes Castro? How about Charlie Rangel, Robert Redford, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Naomi Campbell, Chevy Chase, Harry Belafonte, Spike Lee, Sidney Pollack, Oliver Stone, Woody Harrelson, Danny Glover, Ed Asner, Shirley MacLaine, Alanis Morissette, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Costner and members of the Congressional Black Caucus. What do these people have in common besides their love and admiration of a brutal dictator? Hmm, thinking...thinking...
Obama is a narrow-minded bigot and a tyrant-wannabe. He travels around the globe, bashes America and Americans, gets cozy with murderous tyrants, and is open to prosecuting his predecessor? What happened to a "peaceful transfer of power?" I can't wait until HE and his crew get deposed and tried in court in a few short years from now. . .
So Afghanistan under the Taliban wasn't *really* Afghanistan but Central Asian Country Under the Thumb of a Repressive Totalitarian Religious Dictatorship?
Or is it different when Obama does it? Then we should expect absurd contortions of nomenclature that no other president has ever been expected to make?
During all the Cold War, presidents had no problem referring to the "Soviet Union". What's the difference here, save for the stupidity demonstrated by Obama's critics?
Nobody likes Castro, but the embargo is the reason he is still in power (he uses it as the reason why their economy is a shambles), so the new strategy will change that and ease out the old guard faster. So why does the congressman continue? Well, some in Miami profit from the embargo, and many want only a violent end to the dictatorship so that they can go back when the Cubans will be easy prey for the saviors. I question their concern for the Cubans; the most pro-American people I've ever met
Congressman Lincoln Diaz Balart, Please do not forget to mention Evo Morales, Correa and others, because as you well know, we have in Latin America a new order or government....so called socialismo del siglo XXI, which they just disguise as democratic but they are totalitarians, and it is just pure communism knocking at America's door.

The Castro regime is not Cuba. When Obama refers to the regime as Cuba he legitimizes that totalitariam regime.

You're right. Cuba is Cuba. The Castro government happens to be the current government of Cuba.
Referring to Cuba as something other than Cuba doesn't aid in the overthrow of the Castros but does overthrow common sense.
