It aint about his personality, it's about his policies. Don't know why that is so hard to understand, or why anyone gets invested in personally liking or disliking any politician....I could give a crap if one of them would be fun to have a beer with, for example.

That's logical but what's the connection with a bee named Midori as your avatar? Looks like a copy of the very popular German animated character Biene Maja (Maya the Bee).

And it is supposed to be cheering the home team all the time...anything else is not showing team spirit...we all learned that in high school and we are to continue it as adults all our life.

But people are acting like Cuba is suddenly free because Obama made a speach...the devil is in the details not in the fine wording.
Time will tell if Cuba is finally treated fairly...but judging by the past I rather doubt it.

Opinions obviously will differ on what is a good job, and what isn't, but every politician should be held to task. It's our duty as citizens to do so.

In this case, I think the overwhelming majority believe the President did a good/great job.

Btw, the Cuban/Exiles/CIA in my locality are FUMING/pissed/freaked. Claiming the President ONLY did this for votes (um, from whom?), that the latest generation of Cuban refugees come here expecting SOCIALISM but find they have to WORK and they GO BACK to Cuber!1

These are from the BATISTA/Rightwing/CIA generation talking, who are fatcats here with biznesses.

What I want to know is, can RUBIO and Carnival CRUZ -------GO BACK?!1________ Uh, how did they get to be senators and run for prez OVER ME.

What I know is that Cuber is going to be Las Vegas the same as it was under the previous BATISTA jerks - THINK "capitalism"!!!!1 Lots of service industry jobs. But "our" Cubans (RUBIO/Carnival-CRUZ) say THEY WON'T WORK!!!!1
