Venezuela: An Extraordinary Threat?

President Obama issued an executive order deeming Venezuela an "extraordinary threat" to the US, which allowed him to impose sanctions on the country. Meanwhile he recently took steps toward normalizing relations with Cuba, where a 50 year sanctions policy has been a total failure. Why the disconnect? Also, Sen. (and presidential candidate) Marco Rubio claims to bring new, fresh, young ideas into the campaign -- so why is he pushing hard to retain the failed 50 year Cuba embargo? That doesn't sound like new ideas!
