Sen. Joe on Cuba
So Obama picks Joe Biden. Thought you would like this insight provided by ABC News:
The U.S. Should Consider Talking to Raul Castro, Sen. Biden Says
ABC News' Mary Bruce Reports: Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., said this morning that the U.S. should consider opening relations with Cuba. When asked in an exclusive "This Week" interview if the U.S. should consider talking to Raul Castro, Biden explained "yes, probably. The end of the Castro era is in sight...so we should be preparing what that transition is going to look like." Fidel Castro's brother Raul is poised to take over as the head of the Cuban government today. "We should be taking independent moves now, from establishing mail service to allowing more frequent family members, et cetera, but not lifting the embargo until there is a response to political prisoners, all the things that are wrong with this Castro administration," Biden said.
We all know how much Joe Biden likes to talk.

I agree, we need to talk to Raul. We need to sit down with him and explain in great detail the consequences if he doesn't release his political prisoners within 24 hours, resign and leave the country, and let the people reform the government.
