Last month when the Omnibus legislation passed, the media said the Cuba provisions were a major change in U.S. Policy. In reality, however, it was a very small move compared to the scale and disproportionality of the U.S. embargo.

Last week when Dan Restreppo and Robert Gibbs announced that the President would keep his campaign promises on Cuba, the media said it was the biggest change in Cuba policy in decades. In reality it was also a small gesture.

In Trinidad on Saturday, however, President Barack Obama said this:

I do believe that the signals sent so far provide at least an opportunity for frank dialogue on a range of issues, including critical areas of democracy and human rights throughout the hemisphere.

Now we're talking, or, at least, we're about to.
