Comments on: Bush to let Americans send cell phones to Cuba

President Bush says he is changing U.S. policy to allow people living in the U.S. to send cell phones to family and friends, now that the ban on these devices has been lifted.

" 'It was a decadent show, a speech irrelevant and cynical, an act of ridiculous propaganda,' the AP quoted [Felipe Perez Roque, Cuba's foreign minister] as saying at the news conference. 'Let him retire and leave the presidency.'
"
My only thought on this is Felipe Perez Roque is the man. Well put, blavo.

Locked Propriatry Cell Phones. Not exactly an argument for free and open.

AP wires and its associates never heard or met dictators, communists, or socialists they didn't like. In fact, for them dictators are the freedom fighters.

I love how they try to make things equal by quoting dictator of Cuba.. to make him equal to the American President. Maybe, Cuba will like the author of the Audacity of Hope. I know Hamas and Hugo Chavez like Obama and use that Obama would be elected.

It never cease to amaze me that there are so many people who identify themselves with dictators, communists, and thugs around the world. And there are those who elevate them like AP wire... No wonder US education is 26th and 28th in the world, utterly inept. What are these teachers union teaching kids? Why do they dumb down education in US to the point where the country produces uneducated and unskilled mass? Why do 1/2 of US citizens put up with this and vote for the same failed policies year in and year out.

I think the "change" that US is going to get will make this country considerably worse based on their track record. None of the progressive economic policies ever made any positive/progress difference. In fact, they made everything worse.
1. Social security
2. HMO/medicare/mediaid
3. Education
4. Welfare system
5. Energy Policies
6. IRS
7. Borders
8. Food Stamps

I think it's time to change the laughable and expensive education system that's been controlled by Teachers Union. I think teachers union is wrecking this country by producing dunder-heads.

Bush, just end the ban on imported Cuban cigars. All will be forgiven.
