Let's hope Obama moves quickly to throw out Bush's cruel and stupid travel and remittance restrictions first, then begins ridding us of the failed legacy of 50 years of a mindless embargo that has accomplished absolutely nothing - except to reinforce Castro's regime and legitimize his complaint about American arrogance. Half a century of failure may not strike some relict right wing Cubans as evidence of ineffectuality, but for the rest of us, that much futility kind calls for a big change.
