Will Obama's softness blow up on him in Cuba as it has in Iran?
He bragged about a better relationship with Iran and the day after he struck a deal with Iran to talk, Iran charged an American journalist with spying and sentenced her to 8 years in an Iranian prison. It was the first time Iran has found an American journalist guilty of espionage. I think it's clear Obama is out of his element how negations are done in the middle east. It's about blackmail, terror and hostages. So once again Iran is holding an American hostage and will expect Obama to make concessions, trades, and most likely money. Right before our eyes Obama is being shaken down, just like Carter was. I think we will find that the same will happen to Obama in Cuba, when this naive little boy starts calling on them to be his friend. I think this is well beyond his pay grade of community organizer and far over Hillary's head as secretary of state. She is no Henry Kissinger and Obama is no man of the world because he attended a Catholic school in Jakarta his first three years of grade school. While the kids love that Obama gave the queen an iPod, as a man of the world, the world leaders are chuckling and standing in line for Obama to give away the store to be their friend. His own spokesman had to buffer his enthusiasm over meeting Chavez by saying "Relationships depend on more than smiles and handshakes." What do you think... is Cuba and Chaves going to take Obama (us) for a ride?

this kind of self-centered, war-mongering, pro-Zionist way of thinking is what scored you Americans 9/11

a single event - this so-called espionage case - cannot be used as an example that obamas attempt has "blown up", that is a lot too simple. as for cuba there has not been a single event yet. to believe that relationships which have been damaged and ruined for decades can be repaired with one stroke is nothing but primitive. it will take time, trust need to be restored and, naturally, these countries do not want to lose their face all at once. you seem to be a member of the american arrogance club.

Personally I'd like to know what country you're from AK because there hasn't been any countries that have been immune from these zealots wrath over the past decade. Almost every civilized country in the world has had some form of terrorist attack from Islamic terrorist, so I'm curious as to where it is you come from that has the perfect relationship with people who hate everyone. To answer the question, Yes, President Obama is indeed leading us down a path that's going to end up biting us in the a s s later on. President Obama is going to spend his four years dismantling the military and making nice with our enemies until one of his new "friends" feel they can do whatever they wish. Nice pick America, we've begun the dismantling of our military and building of a socialistic society under President Obama.

I think your senses are blinded by your hatred of Obama. It seems that no matter what happens, it is Obama'a fault, and no matter what he does, it is not right? Honest Rob, Do you hate your country? If not, stand behind your president!

One court giving a journalist a jail term is hardly holding someone hostage. Wait to see how it plays out before you judge. Although, it may not end in a way that you can use to criticise Obama, so maybe you had better get your moaning in now.

I believe the Chavez is setting himself up to be a Socialist Dictator and that any relationship with him might backfire. Cuba is beginning to relax many of their restrictions on their citizens. I think any overtures by the US may be a good thing. It appears that Raul Castro and whoever takes over after the Castros may be thawing in their stances towards the US. Better relations and interaction with Cuba would be a good thing.

Obama acts like he just moved into a new neighborhood and wants to meet all of the neighbors. The dude could have sat back for at least a year to get a better understanding of the world leaders he's going to have to deal with; To see if they were willing to establish an open line of communication. He's coming off like a naive politician, and those hardened world leaders will take advantage of that.

you made a good point rob, i feel it is too early to pass judgment on obama and iran regarding the jailed reporter. we do not know for sure how that will play out. i think obama is trying to better relations with countries around the world. unfortunately i feel some countries you cannot trust or better relationships with. i feel obama fails to see that yet but will in due time. regarding iran jailing the reporter is bad news, but their threat to israel and to america as a nuclear power is even worse. i am surprised that he is reaching out to some people and countries than cannot be trusted..
