“The only thing we should have allowed is a ‘cigar exchange’ “said Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, former Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs committee. “Cubans in Miami have been secretly smoking them for years but have had to take off the cigar bands. Canada’s complaining that if we get our Cuban cigars direct, we won’t get them stolen in baggage claim at MIA, they’ll be stopped at the border and more than half of their border guards smoke Cohibas. We can’t do that to a valued trading partner.
We denounce the President’s unilateral decision to open relations with Cuba. In fact we’ve denounced everything he’s said and done for the past 6 years. The only thing we have in common with Cuba is that Raul Castro has denounced Obama too. Denouncing is what we do. There’s no time left to produce meaningful legislation when you’ve got to denounce. It’s a full time job and that’s saying a lot since we only sit in session for about 140 days a year.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. Said in a press release that Obama was the “worst negotiator” the U.S. has had as President since at least Jimmy Carter and all Carter did was bring Egypt and Israel together.
In fact, we don’t need to ‘open up’ to Cuba. All we have to do is go down to Calle Ocho. to the Versailles for some Cuban food, a café con leche and who knows, maybe someone can score a Cohiba.
An Ambassadorship will open up and talk is that Pitbull would fill the job.
