Great for Obama to try this, hope its fully realized, any of us who have visited Cuba know how awesome these people are and how much of a struggle it is for them, screw these Florida Cubans living in luxury in comparison trying to stop this. For shame!
Hit the nail on the head right there - the embargo is Fidel and Rauls best friend. I just don't see a congress that approves to lift the embargo as long as the Castro brothers are in charge. Too much bad blood there.
