Cuba Has Released All 53 Political Prisoners Agreed Upon
Remember when GOPers were claiming that Obama got rolled by Cuba on releasing people in US custody in exchange for political prisoners who were unidentified at the time and would never get released because Obama was such a poor negotiator?
Or that the Cubans would go back on their word because Obama is so bad at foreign policy?
Well, the Cubans have since released the 53 political prisoners exactly as they said they would.

Baby steps. But important ones nonetheless.
Heck, just a few days ago Sen. Marco Rubio was demanding an end to any talks with the Cuban government until the government released political prisoners. As the President and State Department have been saying, this is all a process, and we’re now seeing that the process works - a bit at a time.
