He can't look soft to the expats in Little Havana, can he?  Shocked

The Cold War is over.

Someone needs to tell the Repukes.

This decision is the stuff of Presidential legacies.

I agree totally that it was the right thing to do, and the timing was great because Obama stole the opportunity from the Republicans. This was inevitable and it is a good thing for both the Cuban people and Florida, as we will be doing boatloads of business there.

Once the Castro brothers are dead, Cuba will abandon communism. They may never become a democracy, but that won't keep them from becoming a booming country. See modern day Vietnam and China.

Mr. Rubio chooses to be on the wrong side of history for this one... It makes him look silly.

Boatloads? Is that a pun?

Someone needs to remind you Cuba is a terroristic nation that is looking for a cash infusion to continue their dirty deeds.

Anyone who opposes this deal based on Cuban repression without calling for the trials of the American torturers and their superiors, or the closing of the prison at Guantanamo Bay is a moral idiot.

And we're NOT a terrorist nation?  You've got to be kidding!!!  Do you think smirking about dropping captives out of helicopters or torturing captives isn't indicative of our own "dirty deeds?"  

You're lack of intellect is truly amazing.

Rubio has been perceived as a flip flopper by the base on his changing positions on immigration. He is irrelevant.

Here's the thing with Rubio: He's lying about his past.

Just think, Karl: If the GOP does not win the WH back in 2016, you will have a brand new president to hate-on. Cool

In 1971, I lived in Corpus Christi. My husband and I were affiliated with the local Jaycees, which is how I met a German who claimed to have been Batista's commissioner of agriculture. His wife was a Cuban national who spoke little English. So...I went to a party at his home. The mayor was there, and several local businessmen. He wanted to open a wurst cafe in the shopping center where his wife owned a bookstore. He wanted me to run it, but he didn't want to pay me a salary; instead he offered me a small percentage of the profits...in my opinion not nearly enough to justify quitting my bank job. And he announced that I was going to do that to a room full of people at that party. Problem was, I had never accepted his offer. I was embarrassed and angry. I also think he was lying through his teeth about coming over on a raft with nothing...this guy was not hurting for money...but he still wanted to build his new business on me.

Instead, it seem like someone needs to tell the Democrats and Progressives that the Middle East is on fire, China has drastically increased their weapon production, SONY has been invaded by North Korea, the Castro brothers took our inept, semi-retired President Obama AGAIN gave away the farm and got nothing, whatsoever in return.

Oh...right...your forgot those silly details!

Wrong again Markle.  But then again, you're seldom right and never honest.  What we got, was the release of our spy, a promise from Raul Castro to free a significant number of Cuban political prisoners, and the possibility of converting Communist Cuba into a socialist-capitalist friend and trading partner like Red China and Vietnam.

Tell us what the asinine former American policy that in 1959 was aimed at impoverishing the Cuban people so they would overthrow Castro, got us.

Most Americans want the Cuban embargoes ended, even most of the ex-Cubans now living here.  Only ancient, white men -- most of whom were exploiters of the Cuban people -- insist on treating the Cuban people like a pariah.  Our -- as usual screwed up foreign policy bolstered by short-sighted republicans who don't complain about wearing underwear manufactured in China, or hanging Vietnamese art in their nests -- only bitter, impotent old white men like you still want us to punish the Cuban people -- here and in Cuba.  

Screw Amerika Inc.  Corporate control of our government through campaign financing.

Marco Rubio and wingnuts like him are on the wrong side of history and are going to look like fools on the Cuba issue.

That's okay, let Mr. Rubio fall on his own sword. He is kind of sucking wind now, with Jeb Bush certain to declare his candidacy for president in 2016 (thus vacuuming away the support and money that Rubio might have tapped into for himself for a run at the WH).

Shrink the military is exactly the right decision. Economic growth and GDP is the most important component of military capability. Throwing five million down a rabbit hole in the middle east and creating one third of our total debt in the same is not protecting America.....it is the work of saboteurs.

All I have to say is Mr. Rubio looks desperate in his efforts to be seen as appearing relevant . . . . . the GOP headlines are routinely led by McCain, Cruz, Paul and Graham . . . . . he wants the publicity.

Before Obama's initiative, there had been no direct executive communications with Cuba since 1961.

That's insane.

We're 90 miles apart!

Cuba was likely to feel some severe economic pressure in the near future... obama probably saved the castro bros.

Marco Rubio sounds like a whiney cry-baby on the Cuba issue. It is hilarious. He said he will have a chairmanship in the new Senate and will use all of his power to hold up nominees for Ambassador to Cuba and funding of an embassy.

He is on wrong side of history....... A fool's errand.....

Rubio already had his short hay day. I've read a dozen story's about his parents and they sure don't jive with what Rubio has told the public.
