Watching MSNBC, Rachel Maddow played a clip of JFK about Cuba. I can never get enough of watching Kennedy. Can’t help it. I love the guy. Maddow was trying to make some left-wing point with the video, but I don’t even remember what it was.
There was Jack laying it out. He was saying that the divide between us and Cuba was because a cabal of conspirators had stolen the freedom of the Cuban people, and had then subjugated them to a foreign power, and as long as that was the case, nothing was possible. As soon as that was not the case, then everything was possible. He sounded like the most right-wing person in the current Presidential race in either party.
Meanwhile, Barack Obama is in Havana apologizing to the Castro brothers, on behalf of the United States, for being so mean to them for the past 50 years.
Nothing has changed in Cuba, but everything is possible anyway. That was Rachel’s point. Isn’t that wonderful?
