Obama could ease more sanctions without violating the trade embargo, a report says

From The Associated Press:

A new report finds the president has broad authority to continue easing sanctions against Cuba without violating the congressionally mandated U.S. embargo.
The report, released Tuesday by Washington-based attorney Stephen Propst, was conducted at the request of the moderate, business-backed Cuba Study Group.
Cuban authorities announced in September they were opening the island's Marxist economy to a limited amount of private enterprise. Propst' review found President Barack Obama could authorize certain services to be imported from Cuba, such as those provided by Cuban web-based entrepreneurs. He also maintains Obama could create more general travel licenses to the island, making it easier for those working with the country's fledgling business class.

  So my question is, whats the frigging hold up?  why this blatant hypocrisy with Cuba as the US trade's with the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, didn't we get our asses handed to us on the way out of that country?
What would the 58000 Americans who died fighting the Vietcong  have to say?
Why the double standard? is because of the old fucks in government who have an ulterior motive?
END THE EMBARGO AGAINST CUBA before the World places an Embargo against the United States.
