Obama goes to Cuba!
Obama and his family landed into Cuba on March twenty-first. As Obama landed into Cuba it was a very nerve racking moment for the people in the United States.The fact that Obama is the second United States president to visit Havana since president Calvin Coolidge in 1928. Your probably wondering why in the world would Obama want to fly to Cuba? Well, Obama says,"We want to open more opportunity's for U.S businesses and travelers to engage with Cuba,and we want the Cuban government to open up more opportunity's for it's people to benefit from that engagement."Personally, I believe that it took Obama a lot of courage and motivation for him to go to Havana,Obama says,"...hopefully this will improve economic ties between individuals Cubans and Americans.''

I've noticed that ever since we've analyzed the events of U.S. history, and seen conflicts like the Cuba/U.S. conflict, I am more interested and understanding of the context of current events.
