Cuba and Obama

Read about continuing racism in Cuba and how Obama's victory has already brought change abroad: "Cubans are dizzy with excitement at Obama’s victory. 'I still feel my heart skip a beat,' Victor Fowler, a black Cuban, told Spain’s El Pais newspaper last month. 'I listen to Barack Obama … I look at my skin, I look at my children’s skin, I cry and I smile.'"

Plus, there is a practically unanimous chorus from Latin America calling for an end to the U.S. embargo on Cuba.
