U.S., Cuba to open talks on normalizing relations
Los Angeles Times | December 17, 2014 | 7:29 AM
The U.S. and Cuba plan to begin talks to normalize relations
and open embassies in each other's countries, an Obama administration
official confirmed today, the first step in what could break a 50-year
stalemate between the nations.The news comes after the release of American contractor Alan Gross, who was convicted of illegally bringing communications equipment to Cuba as a U.S. government contractor and was imprisoned in the island nation for five years.
The U.S. ended diplomatic relations with Cuba in 1961 -- two years after Fidel Castro seized power -- amid worries about communism encroaching on the West.

I just wonder is he is not also considering letting the cuban people come here without a visa, sort of an extension of his
"Amnesty" BS. Then there may be a different reason for his action. Given how he hates America maybe he figures this would be a easy way for him to go to Cuba and live.
