There was really only one good reason to maintain the embargo: Trade with Cuba strengthens the Castros.

If the embargo were effective, the Castro brothers would have been doing Love Letters with the Duvaliers years ago.

Obama has latched on to the failure of the embargo to topple the Castros as justification to shuffle the deck.

But only Congress has the ability to completely lift the trade embargo, which has been in place since 1962.
