+1 point for Mr Obama

Again, why couldn't he have done all of this before the election? I feel like at least Udall and Hagan could have won if Obama had done all of this stuff in the weeks before the election.

No...

Can anyone defend Rubio's backlash against this?

with a move that has such a high favorability, you'd think not. Though Republican politicians conservative pundits I'm sure will oppose anything Obama does.

Does Obama need the approval of Congress to end the embargo or can he just sign an executive order?

Congress. Since they passed the laws enforcing the embargo, he has to get their approval to end it.

I'm glad that Paul is standing up to the Rubio's of the world. However, I wouldn't be so excessive if I were him. It's only a sign that 2016 seems closer than it actually is.
