and goes right back to getting to work on releasing Cuba from the embargo, and dropping the ban on travel to Cuba by U.S. citizens, at long last.

It IS odd, isn't it, that US citizens have been able to go to China, North Korea, Iran, VietNam, even during the war, etc., etc., etc. but they have always been forbidden to travel 90 miles to Cuba by Washington? What is it about Cuba the U.S. government and reactionary Cuban "exiles" didn't want US citizens to discover by going there in person, anyway?
