Because they're rich farks who can do what they want?

If you're having various hardships I feel bad for you citizen
I got 99 problems but going to Cuba isn't 'em

I thought everyone knew this already:

Jay-Z and Beyonce are the cover names of a pair of top secret agents working for the Obama White House.  They pose as music superstars to travel the world and gain access to countries and information previously unavailable.  In order to appeal to a wider audience, a carefully arranged and staged marriage was shown to the public.  They're clearly in Cuba meeting contacts in order to smuggle information out of the country and back to Obama.

How come they're not investigating why I went to Cuba a couple of decades ago?

Had a freakin' amazing time, by the way, and I'd love to go back.  I recommend everyone should go at least once.

First it was Dennis Rodman, now Jay-Z and Beyonce. This is obviously John Kerry's plan for dealing with communist nuclear wannabes. Thanks Obama!

We get it. They're black.

Probably because it's one of the few paces where there's no paparazzi. And it's got nice beaches.

Probably for their health care...............

They wanted an old Chevy and the prices they ask in the states are ridonkulous?

Is there an ointment for that?

bb..bb..bb.bb.b.b.b.b.butt soshulism

I know.  It's infested everything there.  I ordered a Mojito in the lounge of the Intercontinental (I think that's the name of where we stayed), and that bastard bartender slipped some socialism into my drink.  Before I knew it, I was looking for a Che t-shirt and trying to give free health care to this chick at the bar who looked like she might have had a rash.

When are we going to lift the travel restrictions on Cuba? If you want to put an end to the communist regime, just pour some good ol' American dollars into their economy and watch how quickly the wonders of capitalism take hold.

I have a cousin in S. Florida who claims he slipped into Cuba for rum, cigars etc. during a fishing trip.

/not Cuban, but hablas the Espanol

saintstryfe: Because they're rich farks who can do what they want?

I think us poor farks should be able to do what we want as well. I'm not outraged by Bey and Jay. A little miffed that any American should have to get permission to travel where they wish.

Would it not be better to investigate why we let them back in?

How much would we have to pay Cuba to keep them

Best kickstarter ever.

I think jay z probably is worth more then Cuba, and it would help his new athletic managing group for baseball

Oh for farks sake, just lift the damn embargo.  It's Cuba, not Nazi Germany.

yeegrek: Oh for farks sake, just lift the damn embargo.  It's Cuba, not Nazi Germany.

Good thing, because We burned Germany to the ground.
All told, Cuba came away from their debacle with minimal damage. What is happening there now is the continued result of living under an iron fisted government that is only now contemplating reforms.

/Lifting an embargo on someone who threatened us with nukes might not be the best of ideas right now.
/politically, its almost impossible.

THIS.

I have no desire to go there, but I SHOULD have that freedom of choice.

Jay-Z is a member of the Illuminati, I thought.

Obama works for HIM.

brilliant my man watson!

lol    let us Crony Capitalists show them how Real Corruption is done!

First, I'd love to go to Cuba.  I hear the diving is fantastic.  Second, I can't for the life of me understand why we still have an embargo in place.  Want to rid the Cubans of evil communism and get rid of the Castro regime for good?  Life the embargo and watch the people suddenly revolt when they learn they can survive on something other than what Fidel can provide for them.

But I'm guessing that Beyonce and Jay-Z didn't go to Cuba by way of Canada or France, and that they got the special permission from the government needed to go.  I'm further guessing that they're not there on a diplomatic or educational mission, or we'd have heard al about it prior to them going.  Since they obviously have friends in D.C., it strikes me as odd that some people who constantly complain about special privileges being granted to a certain percentage of the population don't at least have a problem with this based on that.  I guess it's all about who's side we get outraged about, no?  Imagine the comments if this would have happened on Junior's watch and it was one of his big contributors that went.

BizarreMan: Would it not be better to investigate why we let them back in?

probably because our economy would shut down if we didn't, thanks to ronnie reagan getting that ball rolling of shipping american jobs overseas for that cheap communist chinese labor so our small number of stock holders can laugh all the way to their overseas tax haven bank accounts.

how do you like those apples, republican.

I've always wondered why the US has this embargo on Cuba but happily trades with China.

And how the US can claim to be land of the free while forbidding its own citizens from going somewhere. How does that work?


it works because its Propaganda.   most folks aren't smart enough to figure out they've been tricked.

Around 400k Americans visited Cuba last year. Yup it's a conspiracy!

those who Own the U.S. and its government Fear Cuba because they're afraid that some of that 'socialism' might rub off on americans.  they can't have that.  don't want to give americans any ideas that might interfere with the myth that crony capitalism is the best thing since sliced bread.

yeegrek: Oh for farks sake, just lift the damn embargo.  It's Cuba, not Nazi Germany.

The embargo is supposed to encourage the Cuban people to oust the Castro brothers, or something like that.  50 years and it hasn't happened.  If anything, the embargo gives the Castro brothers an excuse.  Shortages?  Blame the malditos gringos.

but those 400k americans won't give GOP asshole Legislators any media attention. and they can't be used to portray Obama as incompetent and loving communism.  image is everything in a TV society, you know.

propasaurus: Jay-Z was carrying a message to Castro from his buddy and fellow commie Barack Obama agreeing to surrender terms.
We're all Cubans now.


yea, that's why americans go to cuba for health care. because we're so awesome!!    man, you've got it all figured out!

Cuban-American problems... heaven help, if some wealthy Americans decide to spend their hard earned money in some place other than Miami or Little Cuba.

Why we let a handful of shiat for brains Cubans in Miami dictate our foreign policy is beyond me.

The next Fark standard misspelling, like vodak, perhaps?
