The 44th - Next Stop Havana
The 44th President may end up undoing something that his predecessors have been doing for decades. Cuba has been off limits thanks to numerous Presidents. But Barrack Obama is going to name a very Pro-Cuba Transportation Secretary.
Obama may follow through on his promise to change America. Yep, we're going to embrace our enemy with open lips .... er, borders.
The trio, former SEC commissioner Mary Schapiro, retiring Illinois Rep. Ray LaHood — a Republican — and former Dallas Mayor Ron Kirk, could play an important collective role in restoring investor confidence and reviving the economy. Obama was expected to announce some, if not all, of the appointments today in Chicago. [...]
Obama's choice of LaHood, a Republican congressman from Peoria, Ill., to serve as transportation secretary, fulfills a promise to name Republicans to the Cabinet. LaHood, who has transportation legislation experience, would play an important part beginning early next year in shaping how billions of infrastructure dollars are spent to stimulate the U.S. economy. Schapiro and LaHood's selections were confirmed by a senior Democrat with knowledge of the process who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the nominations hadn't been announced. [...]
LaHood, a former transportation committee member, enjoys a reputation as a moderate. LaHood also has a good relationship with many Democrats, including Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., who will be Obama's White House chief of staff.
In Congress, LaHood has championed lifting travel restrictions to Cuba. He testified at a hearing in September that U.S.-Cuba policy "makes no sense today when Cuba poses no significant national security threat, and many Cold War travel restrictions to other parts of the world have already been abolished."
That's right we're going to have a Cuba lover in the Cabinet. Well, since America now shares many of the same economic policies as Communist Cuba, I guess it isn't a threat any more. 
Add to that Obama's own Marxist theory of Government, and well, it is a match made in Havana.
