Title: US bill aims to ease Cuba travel
Post by: Gambitt on February 25, 2009, 11:18:06 PM

The US House of Representatives has passed a bill that should lead to the easing of restrictions on Cuban-Americans wanting to travel to Cuba.

The provisions are part of a spending bill and must pass in the Senate - where it faces some opposition - before it becomes law.

The bill would allow Cuban-Americans to visit Cuba once a year instead of once every three years.

But, Obama's also a two-faced liar, if you want to take a look at his past words:

Quote

In January 2004 Obama said it was time to "to end the embargo with Cuba" because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." While in August 2007, speaking to a Cuban audience in Miami, Obama stated that he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it is "an important inducement for change." The key difference between these two statements; the election.
