WE GO BEGGING...AGAIN – AT 11:21 A.M. ET:   It isn't only that the Obamans flash weakness, they do it over and over.  And they're darned proud of it.  Earlier this week there were press reports telling us that the administration is practically begging the Iranians for a nuclear deal, even though we are vastly stronger than Iran.

Guess Obama thinks this would be a hot part of his legacy.

Now we follow the grand strategy to Cuba.  What intellects we have running the show.  From Reuters:   

(Reuters) - The United States is pressing Cuba to allow the opening of its embassy in Havana by April, U.S. officials told Reuters, despite the Communist island's demand that it first be removed from the U.S. list of state sponsors of terrorism.

A refusal by Cuba to allow the United States to quickly establish an official embassy for the first time in half a century could complicate talks between the Cold War foes, reflecting enduring mistrust as they move to end decades of confrontation.

It would also mark the first major setback since President Barack Obama's historic shift in Cuba policy in December, suggesting one of the biggest foreign policy moves of his administration is struggling to achieve even its first goal.

Striking Cuba from the terrorism list could take until June or longer, although the White House is pushing officials to move quickly, said two U.S. officials with direct knowledge of the State Department's review to take Cuba off the list.

Washington is eager to re-establish diplomatic ties before a regional summit in Panama in April, when Obama will meet Cuban leader Raul Castro for the first time since 2013, the officials said.

COMMENT:  Oh, how exciting.  Raul will be there.  Maybe he'll bring some cigars.  Does it bother Obama that he's dealing with a complete dictatorship?  I don't think so.  Human rights are not big on his to-do list.  In fact, the left has essentially lost interest in fundamental concepts of freedom.

And shouldn't we remove Cuba from the state-sponsor-of-terrorism list after we determine, by facts, that it should be removed.  I get the feeling it will be removed despite the facts, for the greater glory of Barack.
