Romancing the Stone (heart)
The Obama administration continues to romance the stone heart of Cuban dictator Raul Castro, that is, of course, assuming the ruthless and vile murderer even has anything that can be construed as a heart.
Via Capitol Hill Cubans:
Romancing Raul (Fails Again)
In December 2009, American development worker Alan Gross was arrested by the Castro regime for helping the island's Jewish community connect to the Internet.Since then, several senior U.S. delegations have traveled to Havana -- and kissed Raul Castro's ring -- in an effort to secure Gross's release.
There have been "missions" led by former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), former U.S. Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and most recently U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT).
Yet, none of them have helped one bit.
Moreover, in January 2011, the Obama Administration unconditionally eased "people-to-people" sanctions -- tourism junkets hosted by the Castro regime -- as a further act of "good-will."
Nada.
So how about finally making the Castro regime face some repercussions for its hostile acts?
It might even set an important precedent that taking Americans hostage is unacceptable.
Imagine that.
