Don’t expect Obama to champion capitalism in Cuba | The Reporter25

The virtues of capitalism are one thing President Obama isn’t likely to promote in his trip to Cuba.

Don’t-expect-Obama-to-champion-capitalism-in-Cuba

Yet it is capitalism _ along with the human right, the ability to resist oppression and dream of a better future _ that the island needs more than anything. For now, these will remain dreams.

The cigar industry is proud to Cuba. novices usually ask smokers experienced Stogie is a Cuban? (Or, worse yet, can I have a blast?) Still, Cuba is no longer at the top of the hierarchy of the smoker. Their cigar industry is lagging behind in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Honduras and others in the neighborhood,

Yes, they even roll a big cigar in Cuba. But the quality controls almost don't exist. His Cohiba, Monte Cristo and even less known brands, like Ramon Allone (a big smoke can get in Cuba for $ 7), vary in flavor, drawing and other tests of flavor. On the other hand, you always know what you get when you buy a cigar of, say, the Arturo Fuente Dominican-based.

If the guy who works for a Fuente makes a bad cigar, he's fired; in Cuba, he will not be, says David Savona, the executive editor of Cigar Aficionado who travels to a Cuba regularly in the hunt for the best pastry. The magazine has some Cubans in their top lists, but other manufacturers are more strongly represented these days.

Savona is waiting for a change in the Cuban industry, which will make the best of the weather, tobacco fields and tradition of making Cuban cigar, and bring the country back to the top. This change can only occur, however, when the big boys intervene.

However, this is not very high on the agenda of Obama on the island. Nor is our President really interested in challenging terrible human rights history Castros ". In the hours before he landed Sunday, the Cuban authorities have arrested more than 52 members to the Ladies in white, a group that protests in Havana every Sunday.

Yes, some prisoners were released in a gesture to America after Obama signed his contract with Castro. Since then, however, more were arrested, detained and persecuted indefinitely. Oppression is cardinal to govern the Castros ' island.

Meanwhile, the tourists taking advantage of new rules that allow Americans to visit the island, lustily ogle those these 1958 DeSoto cars. They fear a capitalist offensive, which will flood the island with Starbucks and McDonalds.

They should visit these Cuban unions, where residents redeem coupons for rice and bean your week food vouchers. Or talk to lucky hotel waiters. Lucky, because if you wait a few hours after his shift ended, they can bring a bit of leftover meat to complement the rice and beans steady diet.

The communism of Cuba is sad. Capitalism works. But it is doubtful that you would hear nothing about it like Obama

Over 40M people of Irish descent are in the United States, 8x more than the population of Ireland

The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a nation and ethnic group native to the island of Ireland, who share a common Irish ancestry, identity and culture. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, especially the north.
