TitanTiger 17,334 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Funny how all this has been ignored here by the I Love Cuba Mafia. I would hope you are intelligent enough to comprehend that believing a new course of action is a good thing vs the stalemate of the last 50 years does not necessitate any love for Cuba. Please let me know if I'm giving too much credit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please let me know if I'm giving too much credit here. A good thing for who, Titan? We have a whole other thread to discuss the specific merits of a new approach. My point was simply that thinking that opening up relations with Cuba is the right/good thing to do doesn't mean you "love Cuba." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autigeremt 5,687 Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 I can't personally state I'm for or against, but I do think it would have been "wise" to work with Congress and hear from the American people before an EO was issued.

homersapien 9,765 Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I can't personally state I'm for or against, but I do think it would have been "wise" to work with Congress and hear from the American people before an EO was issued. It would be "wise" to immediately scuttle something that's in the best interests of the Nation? It's not like Congress won't get a crack at keeping or discarding the sanctions. If the POTUS can't excercise his executive authority in the field of foreign relations, where can he? Should Nixon have taken his idea of opening relations with China to Congress first?
