At last, Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba in nearly 90 years.

"Barack Obama descended on Cuba with a pomp unmatched by the Pope on Sunday, becoming the first American president to visit Cuba in nearly a century, and the first since a revolution led by Fidel Castro toppled a US-backed strongman in 1959.

As he arrived, Obama used a Cuban phrase meaning “what’s up?” when he tweeted: “¿Que bolá Cuba? Just touched down here, looking forward to meeting and hearing directly from the Cuban people.”

A giant American delegation, estimated at somewhere between 800 and 1,200, swept into Havana this weekend, intent on closing a final chapter in cold war history and sealing the diplomatic legacy of Obama’s presidency. "

Now, the Americans will smoke Cuban cigars with a socialism taste! Laughing

Wonder which passport he will use to get back to the US, or can a politician escape being checked at the border? I guess there is forced amnesty now, so no one could stop him on his own orders. Big question is did he take Rubio and Cruz with him?

President Obama will use his American passport, it’s just like yours: It has his photo and he’s signed it and everything. Except that his says: “THE BEARER IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.”

And no, nobody can stop him in the US borders, because he is the commander-in-chief of the USA armed forces with ultimate authority. Laughing

Rubio and Cruz are losers, their political weight in the US is near ZERO. They do not deserve to smoke the golden Cuban cigar with Obama. Smile Laughing

The cold war between the USA and Cuba is now over.
Any American English teacher interested in teaching English in Havana? You are welcome in the land of Castro! Laughing

'Comandete' Fidel Castro started the Cuban revolution against American, and his brother, general Raul Castro ended the revolution by a peace process with America.

Win-Win for both sides!
