I notice Obama's Cuba itinerary doesn't include any

HAVANA (Reuters) - Havana on Sunday blamed Washington for a surge of Cubans trying to reach the United States by land and sea, accusing the Obama administration of encouraging illegal and unsafe immigration. Tens of thousands of Cubans over the last two years have flocked to the U.S.-Mexican border and taken to the sea in hopes of reaching Florida, fearing a growing detente between the Cold War foes will lead to a change in U.S. policy. Under a 1960s law, the Cuban Adjustment Act, the Comm ...

It was their 5th wedding anniversary and they went to Cuba, which is against the law; but, of course, they got away with breaking the law. According to the Treasury Dept. spokesperson, they were on a "cultural exchange." Getting away with breaking the law by friends or family of our esteemed President again and again seems to be a habit. How much more is this administration going to thumb their noses at, and/or break the laws of, our country? ...

John F. Harris John F. Harris – Mon Nov 30, 5:45 am ET Presidential politics is about storytelling. Presented with a vivid storyline, voters naturally tend to fit every new event or piece of information into a picture that is already neatly framed in their minds. No one understands this better than Barack Obama and his team, who won the 2008 election in part because they were better storytellers than the opposition. The pro-Obama narrative featured an almost mysti ...

Top 10 Things Obama Doesn't Want You to Know About Donald Berwick by Michelle Oddis (more by this author) Posted 07/07/2010 ETUpdated 07/07/2010 ET President Obama bypassed Congress Wednesday and through a "recess appointment” put Donald Berwick -- a leading advocate of rationing healthcare -- in charge of the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services. â�¨â�¨Berwick will now spear head efforts to cut $500 billion in Medicare a ...

Obamacare means a huge rise in cost for health care premium for most middle class working folk. For the few that do see reasonable pricing to get in now, keep two things in mind: #1-What you pay is based on your income level, not your need for care; the more you make, the more you will pay; so I hope you don't plan to advance in pay down the road because your healthcare premium will rise along with your pay increase and eat it up. The rate you pay as a working person with an income is meant ...

When a Republican congressman on MSNBC brought up a 2012 incident where President Barack Obama was caught on a hot mic promising to give Russia’s Vladimir Putin a little more “flexibility” after the election, NBC journalist and MSNBC host Katy Tur seemed not to recall the incident. Tur pressed Florida Representative Francis Rooney about the number of Donald Trump advisors with close tie to Russia. “I see a lot of folks within Donald Trump’s administration who have a friendlier view ...

In an earlier post, the claim was made that looking at gunrunning operations during the Bush administration was "stupid" since everything went so smoothly under the Wide Receiver program. Well then, if that’s the case, WR should stand up under close scrutiny just fine, shouldn't it? The operative word here is "if." The F&F operation was not conceived in a vacuum. The fact that gunrunning tactics were initially (mis)conceived in 2005-2006 is inescapable, as ...

Is there any reason that gross incompetence is not just as much grounds for impeachment as grossly illegal acts? In fact, there are a number of democracies where the prime minister CAN be fired for loss of confidence - which is the same thing. I'm sure no one needs to ask why I ask the question. Should the bar for removal be set so high that it all but guarantees that the nation must suffer the catastrophic damage caused by an utterly inept President merely because he's ma ...

There should be a Romney ad on the TV soon - if there isn't already - of Letterman asking obama what the national debt is and obama replying he didn't know. Good grief!!! How can ANYONE support this person???!!! ...

Its not about school lunches or healthy kids. Its about one thing alone...control. IF MO was so concerned about children being healthy she would meet with parents. She would help to give "suggestions" to parents, get more healthy guidelines out to parents. Hold conferences with parents. Have docs meet with parents. Parents, parents, parents. Starving kids in school leads to poor performance and poor acadamic grades. It also means this...because the par ...

How is it that Fox - and anyone pro-Trump - just ignores the real news and finds a way to blame Obama for everything? What a bunch of morons!!

Evidently, he's not happy lately. AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka will use a lunchtime speech at the National Press Club on Friday to push back against the “destructive” austerity narrative driving Washington and urge lawmakers to create jobs, protect pensions and provide health care for everyone. “We’ll only win investments in our future if we again embrace the idea that we are one national community,” Trumka will say, according to advance excerpts ...

No advance notice? What the heck? Do jihadists now have to let our State Department know ahead of time that they’re going to attack us? How much time does he want-24, 48 hours or more than that?

Ever since the League of Nations, treaties that the US has entered into with respect to so-called "allies" have resulted in the US bearing the brunt of the heavy lifting, both financially and militarily while these so-called "allies" have skipped out on their own obligations.

In response to whether the US would honor OUR obligations to defend NATO states, he DARES TO ASK WHETHER THEY ...

I notice Obama's Cuba itinerary doesn't include any
