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.

Julian Borger, Washington Bureau Chief of The Guardian, rang me in Florence yesterday to talk about Bush and Blair. I told him that I do not think that Bush was predisposed to giving Blair many legacy-building gifts, which is how Borger ended his piece.

I'm traveling to Athens today.

More later.

The next best thing to Tony Blair, for Bush, would be a Tory government, capitalists defeating socialists. Bush could then privately say in his tongue in cheeky way that he helped overthrow a least one government for the better, heh, heh, heh.

From Borger's piece.....

"The report even suggested that for once George Bush had to come to the prime minister's verbal rescue in the face of the scepticism of the British press corps."

Good God, Bush coming to someone's "verbal" rescue. Now THERE's an impossible scenario.
