Wow. This is an historic day. I've been following the saga of Mr. Gross this year. Many people have pleaded with the government to prisoner swap him, but no one that I read predicted this.

Yeah, I just started following that. I heard an interview of a senator that went down to Cuba and met him. This is indeed a historic day. This has gone on for far too long, I have a feeling that they'll be partying in Miami tonight!

Doubt it. Cuban exiles have been the major players opposing relations for a long time. Marco Rubio is already all over the news blasting this decision. It's a bold move by Obama considering the importance of FL to the electoral map.

Exiles are pretty split on it, the older you are the more pissed you are in general.
