Why do we shun cuba as being a communist state, but not china? Same communist principles, could it be china produces cheap goods for us?
Anybody know why we support and owe one communist country, and we can't even visit the other?

why did mccain support talking to them in 2000

Cuba recently discovered vast
new fields of sweet oil and
natural gas. China, Canada,
France, etc. are helping the
Cubans develop these fields and
they should be in operation by
sometime in 2009.These countries
marvel in their good fortune
that we cannot participate.

One can only imagine if we could
participate, we could build
pipelines from Cuba to Florida
savings millions on freight cost
please a major new source of
oil. But we cannot because
of the embargo.

Our competitor nations can only
say, "vive la embargo".

We can certainly see how it has worked out so far. Do not think it has been that big of a success. Still in charge since 1960 what? Heaven forbid we try to communicate!

Of course Comrade Obama wants to talk to his socialist comrades in Cuba, just like he wants closer ties to Comrade Daniel Ortega in Nicaragua and to Comrade Hugo Chavez in Venezuela.

Isn't it ironic that the former socialist nations of Russia and China have embraced capitalism, while millions of Americans are embracing Neo-Socialist Obama?

For those who don't think Obama is a Neo-Socialist, they forget that Obama's mother and father were socialists, and Obama admits to have attended socialists conferences as an adult.

Obama also sponsored the Global Poverty Act, which plans to send $845 billion dollars overseas to our third-world competitors.

It is no wonder why Hamas and Sandinista Leader Daniel Ortega have endorsed Obama.

Iran wants Obama elected too, so it can acquire nuclear weapons under America's first president with a Muslim heritage.

McCain grow a brain. You need to confer with Ron Paul in order to understand what is going on. You might as well sit this election out. I think Obama pretty much will run the tables. Just a prediction.

How many Presidents have tried to kill Castro, how many are left? How many times will try to kill Chavez who's next after we invade IRAN... Maybe we should "render to Ceasar what is Ceasars" and take care of our own wars and fiancial debacles so we'll still have a future for our children. I don't see Cuba or Venezuela coming to an end anytime soon. Maybe they have a proper understanding of how to focus on their own people and sustain themselves, than our current "leaders" in the US currently has. None the less, I don't give two shakes over what Cuba or Venezuela does in their own countires: "Fix the DAMN USA first!"

Neo-Socialist Obama has a long history of associating with radical left-wingers, like Communist Party USA Member Frank Marshall Davis, "Weatherman" William Ayers, and Radical Left-Wing Pastor Jeremiah Wright.

Obama's father wrote an article entitled, "Problems of Our Socialism.

Obama also admits that he hung out with black nationalists, socialists, and other radical left-wingers when he attended college at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California.

Also, as a community activist in Chicago, Obama had many associations with socialists and radical left-wingers.

Obama's wants to redistribute more of America's wealth to the third world and to African-American communities in the U.S.

This is why he wants to federally fund his 20 "promise" neighborhoods in the U.S.

Those on the Far Left may want Obama to implement his neo-socialist change in the U.S., but most voters in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, and Florida don't.

So are we going to invade Cuba now?

If the neo cons have anythig to do with it we will.

“Senator Obama wants to sit down with [Ahmadinejad] unconditionally, face to face,” McCain complained. “It enhances Ahmadinejad. What are they going to talk about, the destruction of Israel?”

that is exactly what they talk about.
It is political rhetoric and rabble rousing. Pure posturing, if it could have been done, they would have done it. You go in, you tell them to knock off the knucklehead stuff, get with the program and you get a seat at the big kids table. OR You keep it up and you won't be able to trade oil for drinking water and we'll bomb anything that looks like it might have ever come in contact with uranium.

I'm also laughing at the fact that the only thing the GOP can come up with are these stupid guilt by association arguments. Oh his preacher this ayres that Rezenko this. But they are the ones who now have a proven track record of failure not Obama and not the Dems.

You want to get rid of communist Cuba, open it up for trade and tourism. Let it be the playground it was and things will loosen up. Capatialism appeals to greed, it ended the USSR it will end Castro's Cuba.

Louis I completly agree with your last comment. It's starting to work in china too..

I cant believe what I am reading
Obama a socialist, my sides are splitting I am laughing so much.

Those of you who say Obama is a socialist, do you actually know what the word means?

A Socialist wants free education, free health care, affordable housing for all, currently things which dont exist in the US, and even with Obama in charge none of the above will ever happen.

I believe Bush and his cronies are an extremley dangerous far-right government, but never in a million words would I say they are Facist.

It appears (no its true) that anybody who votes Republican in the US labels anybody who disagrees with them as a Socialist, or a Communist.

Sad, very sad state of affairs that in the 21st Century we are still labelling people, who have different opinions with terminology from the bad old days
