Steve Clemons - Open Up Exchange and Travel With Cuba

On Day One, the next president needs to take stock of how eroded and degraded our foreign policy position is with much of the world. One of the lowest hanging fruit opportunities to improve our foreign policy portfolio is to use people-to-people exchange, cultural exchange, and relaxed travel allowances to open up our relationship with Cuba.

It's about 3 am EST and I'm getting on a plane in 9 minutes here at Narita Airport in Japan. . .finally.

But I'm very pleased that the Philadelphia Inquirer ran my Cuba reactions as an oped today. But scan the papers, there is a lot of informed commentary out there -- and really very, very little that thinks that maintaining the status quo makes any sense.

Are the campaigns taking stock of this?

The campaigns are being cautious. But after November a thaw would be welcome to most of the world except for a few grumpy exiles.

Steve, congrats on getting you blog blurb on The Huffington Post.

Though any -- any -- mention or promotion of Krautheimer gets my dander up. I am on a crusade to ignore these traitors, to the extent that I have canceled my subscription to the WaPo.

What also gets me is that the Clinton camp is trying to use the Rove strategy -- use the opponent's strength against him. There are two problems. One, it's a Karl Rove strategy, and therefore morally repugnant. Two, it won't work because she's a Democrat and therefore will not get the media to parrot her attacks and cooperate in the lies and vilification. The media only does that for Republicans.
