Obama In Cuba...So What's New???

So Obama is visiting Cuba. So what's surprising, or unexpected about that?

Obama is set to leave office next January, and like previous Presidents he will likely retire to a state (or "State"?) that has a warm climate, and a local government that is sympathetic with the policies he has promoted while in office. Bingo!!! Is Obama planning to retire to Cuba??? I wouldn't be surprised!

Like Reagan retired to California, Bush "Sr." retired to Maine (mostly), Clinton retired to anyplace that would pay excessive speaking engagement fees, and Bush "Jr." to Texas, why wouldn't Obama think of Cuba as his perfect retirement destination? After all the local government is almost as radically "leftist" as his administration has been for his eight-year term (once completed), and couldn't be more cooperative with anything he needed for the future "Obama Presidential Library", once all the American sanctions are lifted, and trade between our countries is normalized. Congress can be expected to fall all over themselves to rubber-stamp approval of his trade-normalization pact, once the Republicans have made a pathetic appearance of blustering about how much they are offended about supporting this deal. (A few of them, like Ted Cruz, will actually be sincere, and will even vote against the act). All of the "Establishment" Republicans will vote in "lock-step" with their Wall Street backers' interests, for it (one imagines the Wall Street Bankers salivating over the potential money flow from increased trade with a new economy [including the more easily laundered money from Mexico's drug cartel]). This will set Obama up nicely, to spend the rest of his days on the Havana beaches, making occasional (and highly paid) public appearances, as the Leftist "Elder Statesman", in support of any Left-wing issue that comes before Congress, or any issue that effects Cuban interests, in particular.

Speaking of more easily laundered drug money being made available through these negotiations, reports today are that Cuban/American meetings are likewise ongoing with the Columbian government representatives, and the representatives of the so-called F.A.R.C. (Leftist Terror group) to negotiate a peace treaty, ending their nearly fifty-years of civil war. But, where is the line drawn between the "Leftist Terror Group", in Columbia, and the "Medeline Cartel" that has been reputed to be funding their terrorist activities for years? Is this really a final capitulation of the Columbian government to the cocaine drug Cartel, in an effort to stop the years of bloody terrorism? And if so, can we expect Mexico to follow suit shortly hereafter, with Obama acting as a supposedly "neutral" negotiator??? So, is Obama setting himself up to expect a steady flow of lucrative fees from both leftist governments, and drug cartels, all "legally" laundered through Cuba's banking system (he may even get an "honorary seat" on one of their bank's Board of Directors, at the Castros' direction).

All this is appearing to be, "curiouser, and curiouser..." as Alice (of "Wonderland" fame) once said about equally corrupt shenaningans.
