[Peace-discuss] Mr. President, May I Also Travel to Cuba?

[LAURIE SOLOMON]

You mean we aren't allowed to travel to Cuba under the new decree?  How are
they going to determine who is and who is not a Cuban-American, who has
family in Cuba and who does not, why this is not discriminatory in the same
way that the use of race, sex, or physically challenged statuses cannot be
used to single out classes of people for special treatment?

Obama is turning out to be America's worst Black President; I have to wonder
if he is trying to set the bar low so as to make any future Black Presidents
appear to be great.

I want to make absolutely clear that I'm totally delighted for my
Cuban-American brothers and sisters who can now, thanks to President
Obama's announcement, travel to Cuba without restriction. The Bush
Administration restrictions were gratuitously mean and caused real
hardship for Cuban-American families. Most Americans agree with me -
79%, according to a recent poll from WorldPublicOpinion.org.

But without taking anything away from that, I just want to say: Mr.
President, I like to travel, too. I have a passport and everything. I
am not a Cuban-American. But I am an American. May I also travel to
Cuba?

According to the same WorldPublicOpinion.org poll, 70% of Americans
think all of us should be allowed to travel to Cuba.
