Florida Lawmakers In "Profound Disagreement" Of Obama's Cuba Policy

TALLAHASSEE (CBSMiami/AP) – The state's Republican lawmakers want to
send President Barack Obama a three-page message expressing "profound
disagreement" of his effort to restore diplomatic ties with Cuba.
The House Local & Federal Affairs Committee voted 8-4 Thursday along
party lines to deliver a message to the president and congressional
leaders that they don't approve of the decision Obama made in December
to change U.S. policy toward Cuba.
Republican lawmakers said the decision only strengthens the dictatorship
that brothers Raul and Fidel Castro have maintained since 1959.
Republican Rep. Neil Combee said he was born the same year the Castros
took over the communist nation and what he's seen since makes him sick.
But Democratic Rep. Kristin Jacobs said the United States has failed to
force changes in Cuba and she supports Obama's decision.
