The President gets stiffed by his "pals" the Cubans

Following the highest-level open talks in three decades between the two nations, Cuban officials remained firm in rejecting significant reforms pushed by the United States as part of President Barack Obama's surprise move to re-establish ties and rebuild economic relations with the Communist-led country.

"One can't think that in order to improve and normalize relations with the U.S., Cuba has to give up the principles it believes in," Cuba's top diplomat for U.S. affairs, Josefina Vidal, told The Associated Press after the end of the talks. "Changes in Cuba aren't negotiable."

Why imagine that!  One of the few remaining Stalinist regimes, run as a personal satrapy by and for the Castro family, won't play nice ball with the One.   No Marquess of Queensberry rules here.  It's bare knuckle  cage match time, and the Nancy boy shivering with fear is our champion.

And you know what?  This transparent tough guy strategy will work with the President, who has the backbone of a banana and will run whimpering to Valerie, complaining of the meanies in Cuba.  Then he will give away the store, and leave the long suffering people in Cuba to twist for another decade or two.  

Just pathetic.
