The Batistianos, who have tried to get ten (10) US presidents to fight their battle with Castro are showing up regularly in the El Nuevo Herald obits, decades after they thought they'd be back in Cuba.
The only asses GeorgieBoy is kissing is that small minority of GUSANOS (Batistianos) that are represented by the likes of Ros-Lithium and the Ditzy-Balistic boys--Fidel's favorite nephews--one of whom (Lincoln) was recently booed and heckled in the Colombian congress.

PRESS RELEASE
Washington, D.C. May 7, 2004. The measures proposed by the Commission on
Cuba and accepted in full by the President represent a cruel expansion of
the failed decades-old policy of the U.S. towards Cuba. While the new
measures will not bring down the Cuban government, they are designed to, and
will, cause the people of Cuba further suffering in order to advance the
self-interests of the most extreme elements in South Florida and shore up
their electoral and financial support in this election year.
The White House plan would make it illegal for Cuban-Americans to visit
their spouses or children more than once every three years. The President
further pretends to redefine the Cuban family, disqualifying Cuban-Americans
from ever visiting or sending remittances to uncles, aunts, nephews, nieces
and cousins.
President Bush will also order a drastic reduction in the amount of money a
licenced Cuban-American visitor to the island may spend: from $164 to only
$50 per day--including lodging, meals, and transportation--thus making it
impossible for a Cuban-American to treat family members (even if once every
three years) to a simple meal at a restaurant.
What kind of a foreign policy is premised on prohibiting a U.S. citizen or
resident from visiting a spouse and children--or vice versa--more than once
every three years? Or from sending families a reasonable amount of money for
clothes, food and other necessities, as do immigrants of every other
nationality? What kind of an insane policy prohibits parents who receive
U.S.-level salaries from providing more than $100 per month in child or
family support?
Our families in Cuba need our emotional and material support. While the
Cuban government eased travel to the island from the U.S. by
Cuban-Americans., the Bush administration, which otherwise proclaims family
values, imposes draconian measures to further divide our families.
Other recommendations were accepted, including those to authorize $59
million over the next two years to destabilize the country (much of which
actually is paid in salaries to extremists in Miami whose political
activities are subsidized by taxpayers) and an additional $18 million to fly
military EC-130 planes around Cuba to beam television and radio signals from
the United States into the country.
