Sen. Marco Rubio to lead U.S. Senate hearing on U.S. embargo against Cuba

THE COMMENTS ARE HILARIOUS!!!!

MIAMI -

As the new chairman of the U.S. Senate foreign relations committee’s subcommittee on Western hemisphere, Sen. Marco Rubio is expected to continue to voice his opinion on the U.S. embargo against Cuba.

The potential 2016 presidential candidate from West Miami was officially named chairman Wednesday. His first hearing will include a discussion about the impact that loosening the embargo will have on the Communist island.

The former speaker of the Florida House of Representatives said in a statement that he is going to focus on the lack of individual freedoms in Cuba and Venezuela, where they "are all but a dream.

Tension among some Republicans and Democrats has been building since President Barack Obama's Dec. 17 announcement that the U.S. Department of Justice was going to be releasing Cuban spies. Cuban President Raul Castro released a government contractor and 53 political prisoners, some of whom have been reportedly re-arrested.

Rubio sided with Miami's Cuban exiles in his outrage of the presidential State of the Union address' mention of a change in policy that they fear could have a negative impact on human rights on the Communist island.

1. Rubio is DESPERATE to get his face into the cameras and mics - to benefit only himself.

I hope the Cubans in Florida kick his behind to the curb when he's up for reelection. This should do it.
