Obama, Clinton, & Castro
    #8046519 -

Castro's announcement of his retirement today got me thinking. What are the Democratic candidates' views on the United States' relationship with Cuba? This is just one of many important issues that have received zero coverage in any mainstream news medium. Does anyone know what their platforms are?

I will not fear my passions like a coward.
My body I will give to pleasures,
to diversions that I’ve dreamed of,
to the most daring erotic desires,
to the lustful impulses of my blood, without
any fear at all, for whenever I will—
and I will have the will, strengthened
as I’ll be with contemplation and study—
at the crucial moments I’ll recover
my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

"WASHINGTON (AP) - Barack Obama and John McCain are calling for the release of political prisoners in Cuba following Fidel Castro's resignation.

Obama says Castro's resignation should "mark the end of a dark era in Cuba's history."

By the way, "Obama, Clinton & Castro" great way to group all these commie bastards together!

'Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain and leave the Shroomery.' ~ Jim Morrison

Clinton on Cuba

Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) wants a peaceful transition to freedom and democracy in Cuba. She is opposed to lifting the embargo. And when Senator Barack Obama suggested presidents should be open to meeting with leaders of states like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba and North Korea, Clinton disagreed with that approach.

McCain on Cuba

Senator John McCain (R-AZ) would also maintain the embargo. He views Cuba as a national security threat, and even said he "will not passively await the long-overdue demise of the Castro dictatorship," according to this New York Times blog post. McCain predicts, "Cuba is destined to become an important ally in advancing democracy in our hemisphere."

Obama on Cuba

Senator Barack Obama (D-IL) has called for "unrestricted rights" on Cuban-American travel and money sent by family member to the island. He also expressed a willingness to meet with Fidel Castro. He said, "You know, strong countries and strong presidents speak with their adversaries. I always think back to JFK's saying that, 'We should never negotiate out of fear, but we should never fear to negotiate."

Thanks for the info, guys.

I think it's very cool that Obama called for unrestricted travel rights. It's about fucking time!
