Cuba releases 53 of 81 political prisoners

But, that pushback comes from Obama's left. Which seems counterintuitive to your argument.

Not really. Anyone running, regardless of their political stripe, will have to run as "Not-Bush." Oops, I mean "Not Obama."

Democrats have to do so by being against Obama's policies without invoking him personally. "Wrong direction" generically speaking is very high. Saying "I have a different direction" even if it is farther in the wrong direction will not matter to the Meme-driven center, which is what elections are now about. Courting the least informed.
 
No seriously Vette, this shit isn't funny. You wanted names. I provided names. Why did you even fucking care?

Except Obama hasn't been a disaster it's really more a matter of if he can get the supposedly left leaning media to start crowing for him.

The are willing, what should they crow about?

They don't seem to be willing. They could crow about gas prices, the stock market, the end of wars, oil production. And yeah you can claim that Obama didn't do anything (though several posters have shown that to be untrue. At the worst he didn't stop them) but we're talking about the media. They could credit Obama with the success of the Avengers and it would stick with 51% of Americans. They just haven't.

Of course they honestly have no reason to. They like money and controversy creates cash. There is a good damn reason why Romney was presented as a contender when anybody with eyes knew Obama had won.

You want to bet this years Republican primary will be much less chaotic than 2012?

None of the posters "showed that to be untrue." Several made grasping attempts at reframing the argument, "Prove he didn't have magic that caused this in the absence of any affirmative policy to increase production."

You are correct. At best, he did no harm, to the energy sector generally. The energy sector is responsible for the direction of growth being positive rather than a double dip recession, and the stock-market is inflated by pretend money from the Fed loaned to major institutions at zero percent interest.

Do no harm is not a bad sort of policy these days.

At the very least he didn't prevent it. IT would have been as simple as saying "no" to make shit hell.

The pretend money (all money is pretend) ended in October. We still seem to be here.
 
Yawn, at any rate, how is the prisoner release in "America's" best interests, and of such magnitude as to be rewarded with normalization?

Normalization already was decided on, the prisoner release is just a make-nice gesture, and how is it not in America's best interests, since we're always claiming to care that other governments are holding political prisoners?
 
Japan bombed our territory, tortured our soldiers, and generally fucked over the Pacific rim for quite a few years. We normalized pretty quickly with them as I recall.
 
Yes after we reduced their country to rubble, invaded their homeland, killed hundreds of thousands of them, received an unconditional surrender, installed a five star General to govern their country, reduced their Emperor to a figurehead, and write their new Constitution.

The Cubans on their other hand have never repudiated communism, or conceded anything worthy of our normalizing relations. This is Obama making a unilateral pro-communist decision, that is seen in this hemisphere as a surrender.

Except for a few wingnuts here and in the press and in the Pub party, who has called it a surrender? Which country, which leader? And like you, I want names.
 
It's one thing to say people have been released, another to back it up by naming them. A few weeks ago, despite making the claim, the Obama regime could not name those who were allegedly released.

That's it? That's the reason you got all froggy over names? Your little delusional Obamabad sniffles again?
