Will Obama lift embargo on Cuba?

Although Cuba is in Americas backyard, the island has had virtually no contact with its illustrious neighbour for almost half a century. This contrasts with Russia, which despite being on the other side of the world, has given the Cuban government $354 million in loans.

Cuba is amazing, the people are so nice. The western world is so scared of communism just because the western media tells us to be,we see what they want us to see and that's it. you go there and talk to the people and they are all happy with health care and a roof over there heads and food. everyone is equal!!!! open your eyes north America!!!

i am a Canadian so don't think I'm saying it from an outsider point of view.

@MilkTrafficker Also after ignorant yanks couldnt take Cuba back by use of power, embargo made by them made democracy impossible in Cuba. You cant have democracy if you are neighbor of evil superpower that is willing to use any method to destroy the system and bring capitalism & slavery back to Cuba. Its all fault of americans. If they wanted to really promote democracy they would stay away from Cuba. Cubans wanted Castro, thats why he is still in power after very many CIA assassination plans.

@MilkTrafficker And that healthcare is free to everyone, and Cuba has highest amount of doctors to amount of population when before Castro there was only very few doctors, and they mostly for rich people only. Without Castro corrupted capitalist dictators would have ruined Cuba together with american corporations. If you want to see what Cuba would be without Castro look at Haiti. Thats exactly what happens when US supported corrupted capitalist dictators keep rule.

@MilkTrafficker Bullshit. First, before revolution average life expectancy of cubans was less than 60 years, and workers were basically slaves of american corporations and Batistas corrupted government. There was no freedom of speech before revolution either, thats why Castro got into power by revolution instead of politics. Castro has given Cuba amazing healthcare which has risen life expectancy to 78, more than any other Caribbean island state and same that USA has with much of more money

Cuba stopped being a nation in 1958 to become a communist SECT-CAMP in '59/60. COMMUNISTS DESTROYED CUBA for their fraudulent and egotistical control. USA has nothing to do with all of the internal restrictions seen in the Stalinist state.

If communism produced misery in Europe and Asia (where one half of Germany and Korea stagnated under slavish repression while the capitalist halves of those countries thrived in economic and political freedom) why would the result be different in the Cuba?

YOu know America throws away 25% of its food

"the embargo is in place because Castro took all American properties with no compensation."

Actually Castro and the Cubans offered compensation early--John Foster Dulles said no deal.

Next Kennedy attacks in the Bay of Pigs.

The whole island was supposed to rise up to put the Batista-ites in?

They rose up all right--to obliterate the CIA's little exiles.

Che made the offer to Kennedy that Cuba would not push revolution around the world, and that Cuba would pay the US fot confiscated property.

Instead of accepting the offer, Kennedy thought it was a sign of weakness, and he continued to have the CIA napalm sugar cane field, bomb factories, andbomb ships in the harbors around Havana.

A las dictaduras hay que imponerles restricciones financieras, económicas y materiales, para que no se enraícen largos años.Medidas diplomáticas y morales no funcionan contra las dictaduras, porque estas se burlan de los Gobiernos y de los pueblos....... Fidel Castro.

Cita del libro Fidel Castro y los Derechos Humanos, Editora Política, Habana, Cuba, 1988.

Obama need to read more about Fidel Castro.
