Willful ignorance coupled with arrogance, and just a dash of homosexual preoccupation. Interesting mix, indeed.

That's funny because it is pretty much what my thoughts were about you, Teddy. Hey ... Speaking of Ted Kennedy. He is going to be six years sober this August.

Does your mommy know you're on the computer again?

Ever get that feeling that you are playing limbo with your integrity? Every couple of minutes you just drop another notch? C'mon Teddy. You can go lower.

My favorite guns come from communist China so maybe it would be a source for a few more AKs. I'm open to it.

Never know but somehow I don't think importing AKs will be high on Obama's import list.

The Obama administration on Friday removed Cuba from a list of state sponsors of terrorism, a crucial step in normalizing ties between Washington and Havana and the latest progress in President Obama’s push to thaw relations between the United States and the island nation.

Secretary of State John F. Kerry rescinded Cuba’s designation as a terrorism sponsor at the end of a 45-day congressional notification period, which began on April 14 when Mr. Obama announced his intention to remove Cuba from the list.

The move “reflects our assessment that Cuba meets the statutory criteria for rescission,” Jeff Rathke, the State Department spokesman, said in a statement.

“While the United States has significant concerns and disagreements with a wide range of Cuba’s policies and actions,” Mr. Rathke said, “these fall outside the criteria relevant to the rescission of a State Sponsor of Terrorism designation.”

The action comes amid signs of difficulty in the negotiations between American and Cuban officials to bring about the historic reopening Mr. Obama announced in December. Despite widespread optimism, officials failed last week to reach an accord on re-establishing diplomatic relations and opening embassies.

Still, Cuba’s removal from the list – now confined to Iran, Sudan and Syria – is an important step in Mr. Obama’s effort to move past the Cold War-era hostility that long marked the relationship between the United States and Cuba. The president met with President Raúl Castro of Cuba last month in Panama at the Summit of the Americas in the first such encounter in a half-century.

It's as if Obama thinks that giving away things is the ticket to building his "legacy". In actuality he'd be better off hoping people forget him. He'll be known as the President who lost Iraq, emboldened Iran and destabilized the middle east by putting nuclear weapons into the hands of numerous questionable regimes.
