Alex,
No, it’s up to presidents to tell congress what they will regard as poison pills that they won’t swallow. That’s why none of that crap ever made it to George W. Bush’s desk and you know it. No te hagas el bobo. And my heart doesn’t break for you or anyone else who could LEGALLY send FIVE times the Cuban average monthly salary every month.
And what you’re saying is that campaign promises don’t matter especially one that was so distasteful for him to make in the first place. It just reaffirms the fact that Obama is not change, he’s not a superhero, he’s a lying sack of crap.
Middleman,
Proximity has nothing to do with it. Mexico is just as close to Cuba as the U.S. is. The “remove the excuse” argument is hollow. Let’s say we remove the excuse. What then? An revolt by the populace? Please. The people with the power to influence change in Cuba are the international community and they, like you, know the embargo is just an excuse. Removing it won’t change their hatred for the U.S. and support for the regime.
