Yesterday we told you how Obama lifted restrictions on travel to Cuba (but only for Cuban-Americans) and lifted the cap on remittances sent by family members to family members in Cuba. The real news was that the announcement was made in part in Spanish! Gasp!

This is historic yes, and it’s clear that the intent was to speak directly to Cuban-Americans and who knows maybe even Cubans. Pero dies it show that the Obama administration “gets it” as the anchor woman says?
Get what exactly?
The embargo is still in place. Travel to Cuba is still limited to Cuban-Americans.
While the policy is a change, it’s not exactly groundbreaking.
And what about that pesky immigration issue?
Where’s the Spanish language White House briefing on that.

I know, I’m never satisfied.
