I like where this is going:
After a series of overtures by U.S. President Barack Obama, Castro said Thursday that he is ready to talk with the U.S. and put “everything” on the table, even questions of human rights and political prisoners.

No tags for this post.
No brainer for Obama, with no down side to speak of, except if he doesn’t do it.
Clinton:

“We have seen Raul Castro’s comments,” Clinton told reporters in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before holding a town hall meeting with local residents. “We welcome this overture. We’re taking a very serious look at it.”
Maybe this is a small advance symbolic of things to come in this hemisphere and beyond. It’s just great to hear stories about leaders wanting to find common ground for a change.
MUY CALIENTE
