Daily Obama Fact

The Cuba embargo

In January 2004, Obama said it was time “to end the embargo with Cuba” because it had “utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro.” Speaking to a Cuban American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not “take off the embargo” as president because it is “an important inducement for change.”

    Gud, cuz I’m tired of havin’ t’ smuggle good Cuban cigars ‘cross the US/Canada line.

    Howbeit, in a recent issur of th’ Cigar Report, they noted Cuba wuddn’t be able to keep up with th’ demand once th’ embargo wuz lifted. So maybe jus’ better t’ keep in in place.

    ;)
