I heard someone say yesterday that it is very fortunate that Barack married a black woman considering his status and the fact that his maternal side is white. That person is of the opinion that had he married a white woman, this historical event probably would have lost some of its flavour as far as black people are concern. When I think about it I have to agree that he has a good point.

I think that Obama is going to have a difficult time trying to keep Joe Biden's mouth shut. Biden took a shot at the Chief Justice for yesterday's error in reciting the oath, and as I watched on TV, I could see that Obama was a little disturbed by it.

...I wouldn't be surprised if he did that on purpose.

Obama took the oath again out of an "abundance of caution".

Fidel Castro breaks his silence to give his opinion of Obama...

...I think we will see a normalization of relations between the US and Cuba soon. Keeping an embargo going against this country just to satisfy a bunch of malcontented ex-citizens is/was and will always be madness and political pandering. Enough is enough...

I agee...it is high time that embargo be dropped...and Obama should know that. It would disappoint me if Obama maintains that embargo for the next 4 years.

...the Cubans vote primarily Republican, because the Republican's have pandered to their vote with the embargo on Cuba...some Democrats have also. But Obama won Florida without the Cuban support and to be honest, the younger generation of Cubans are not voting the same way their parents do/did. Many of them want to see the island they have heard about their whole lives but have never been able to see due to their parents political views. Change is coming to America...in many ways.

A show of defiance...

Would you consider this a "flip-flop" on Obama's part, or a "semi flip-flop"...and is it a good move or bad move??
