Actually importing cars from Cuba would be good for the environment , they would be collector's items, or show cars, and not on the street every day.

Everytime I read something Umpire wrote I am thinking Obama the whole time..? Does he have a hot line to the White House? Oh yes, Obama is not at home. He has taken a 17-day vacation to Hawaiia. Hope he mails you a Christmas gift from Hawaiia. Guess anyone who attempts to carry the world on his shoulders gets a little tired now and then and needs a vacation.

kec | As of now , I think it is illegal to import such things as automobiles from Cuba. Auto enthusiasts are hoping the ban will be lifted.

The EPA Will never let it happen.

HAVANA � Cuban President Raul Castro sent a blunt message to Washington Saturday as the White House works to reverse a half-century of hostility between the U.S. and Cuba: Don't expect detente to do away with the communist system. Castro's speech to Cuba's National Assembly was a sharp counterpoint to the message U.S. President Barack Obama gave in his year-end news conference the day before. Obama reiterated that by engaging directly with the Cuban people, Americans are more likely to encourage reform in Cuba's one-party system and centrally planned economy. "We must not expect that in order for relations with the United States to improve, Cuba will abandon the ideas that it has struggled for," Castro said

Of course they don't make cars. A good restorer could make their cars into showpieces.

Ugh.... Don't think so highly of yourself.
And Cuba doesn't build cars. No one wants to buy their old wrecks and bring them over here. Some idiot reporter wrote an unsupported story trying to romanticize the communist island

Kenny is a moron. It's already no problem to travel to Cuba. And, Biminey is easier to get to and offers the same experience.

As usual, the best justification the Obama loyalists have...is saying that he is no better than someone they despise...Nixon. Pretty weak applause, eh?
kenc, travel to Cuba...another fantasy. Don't forget to wear your Che Guevara tee shirt.

EAM: I was just getting ready to say: More than 40 years ago, Nixon normalized relations with Red China, in one fell swoop; nobody protested; no States seceded from the Union; go figure.

Can't wait to visit Cuba and see all their 50's automobiles, course I'd have to beat all the other car enthusiasts who will be going down in droves. Note to Cuban citizens, don't trade your wonderful cars for a pile of junk !

YES A PATTERN IS EMERGING. AND THAT WOULD BE, THAT NO MATTER WHAT SCREEN NAME YOU USE, THAT THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO FACT TO BACK UP ANYTHING YOU SAY.

It's fair to say...a pattern is emerging.
Obama Apologizes to Castro
Cuban communist leader lectures Obama for 30 minutes.
2:34 PM, Dec 19, 2014
Barack Obama apologized to Cuban president Raul Castro during their phone conversation after the American commander in chief's opening remarks. Speaking to reporters at his final White House press briefing of 2014 Friday afternoon, Obama gave more details about his phone call with the communist leader of Cuba earlier this week before the announcement of a change in U.S. policy on the Caribbean island nation. Obama began the phone call with Castro with what he described as 15 minutes of opening comments. It was the first conversation between the heads of state in both countries since 1961.
"I apologized for taking such a long time," Obama said. Castro responded by reminding Obama that the American president was still young enough to beat Castro's brother, former Cuban president and revolutionary leader Fidel Castro, who once gave a 7-hour-long speech.
According to the president, Raul Castro proceeded to speak to Obama uninterrupted for 30 minutes.

The release of the 56 political prisoners was part of a previous agreement. But nice try.
