What embargo did Obama "extend"?

There is no embargo.

Is that the measure of an embargo?

Until very recently, I couldn't bring any aki from Jamaica into the US...do we embargo them too?

We sold Cuba nearly a billion dollars in goods last year...what kind of embargo is that?

okay

The REAL goal here is to grant Cuba credit. Right now all purchases must be paid for in cash.

Cuba is one of, if not the worst credit risk in the world. If the US agrees to allow it to buy goods on credit, thise sales are guaranteed by the Ex-Im Banks Export Credit Insurance, meaning that the US taxpayer will shoulder Cuba's debt when they do what they have always done, and not pay their bills.

Didn't you notice the rather significant numbers under imports? Or perhaps you don't know what imports are?

Don't worry about it. Luis is a typical Floridian Cuban, that is to say, a dirty sociopath who ought to be sent pack (on HIS dole).

Life is change --
How it differs from the rocks
I've seen their ways
Too often for my liking

New worlds to gain
My life is to survive
And be alive
For you

The right to die in Iraq was a right not previously possessed by Americans for twelve long years.  Bush rectified that.
