Broken

You want to see how broken the republican party is these days?  Just look at their response to President Obama's actions concerning our change in policy toward Cuba.

The Cuban Embargo has been an unmitigated failure that has accomplished absolutely nothing over the last fifty years--foreign policy isn't my forte, but you'd be hard pressed to find a more nonsensical continuation of the status quo in our foreign relations.  So when President Obama decided that perhaps a change was in order, republicans immediately become apoplectic and flout failure as a desired goal of American foreign policy.  Or you can be even dumber like Marco Rubio and criticize the Pope for basically doing his job--which is more or less to help people love one another.

This change in our diplomatic relations with Cuba can have two outcomes--either everything stays the same in Cuba (no loss) or things get better for their citizens (big win).  How much of a nitwit do you have to be to not support that?

Another feather in the cap for President Obama for a much needed and welcome change for a bad policy.

Peace,
