Obama Invites Juanes and Olga Tañon
Wow! This is big…no, HUGE!
Olga Tañon told El Vocero that she is going to the White House next week with Juanes after having had received a personal invite from President Barack Obama.
Not too many folks can say that!

now, i can’t wait to hear more stupid and ridiculous rhetoric coming out of that minuscule segment of exiles that hate Obama & Juanes.

The Cuban exiles in Miami and NJ just need to get over it (this has been going since the late 1950’s. Cubans in Cuba need us to reach out to them and see that we care. Cuban Americans make up like 1% of the Latino population here in US, and they think they will influence all policy towards Cuba & want the rest of us to follow like puppies. The rest of the Latinos in the US want to normalize relations. Mexican Americans are the dominate majority of Latinos here in the US and they would also like to see a free Cuban just like the Puerto Ricans. So to my Cuban American friends (usually the older ones I say let it go) all these years of hatered have gotten you no closer to Cuba.

PALABRA…
I don’t understand how sanctioning an already deprived population is supposed to endear the world to the oppressed people. What they need is a little taste of how good a new way of life can be so they have something to work towards. Ignoring them is brutal at best, and treating those who show sympathy to them as political enemies is even worse. The politics of the past have failed where Cuba is concerned (on both sides), so it’s time for a NEW approach. I applaud Olga and Juanes for taking such a bold, empathic, and noble step.

It was great for these brave performers to go to Cuba and perform for the people of Cuba who have suffered so much. Hopefully their suffering will end soon. Castro cannot live for ever. President Obama is great for recognizing Olga and Juanes for the good deed they did in going to Cuba. By doing so it shows the people in Cuba that they are not forgotten.

That is why I Love my President and the first Lady. He is a Dyplomat and you can feel they care. They really are an excelent couple to follow their example. This wasn’t the first concert given by Juanes, the first one was on the border of Colombia and Venezuela and it also was wonderfull. He should be given a Humanitaria Award for such wonderfull cause.
