It really is because Cuba taught Chavez how to rule.

What's funnier is that JFK started the embargo by Executive Order.

He may not have the power Constitutionally, but does that matter anymore. Presidents have been slowly setting precedents increasing Executive power since FDR. It certainly didn't start with our Boy King.

I'm thinking the motivation for this whole thing is to break the lease regarding Guantanamo.
