Okay so here is my problem. I have been working on a report about why the embargo on Cuba should be lifted. Just a little while ago, a classmate approached me and said "Didn't you know the embargo WAS lifted?" I talked to the professor about it and he said he thought that it had been lifted as well (this is a Comm class so it's not the prof's fault for not knowing). Anyways, i have been doing a ton of research and can't find anything saying this is the case. So why did they both think that? Is there something I'm not finding?

I thought this as well. I recall Obama saying something about lifting the embargo, no idea if anything actually happened though.

Yes, it is the prof's fault. You need to call these people out on their bullshit every time they speak. Every time. If the prof doesn't know, then the prof is committing fraud by charging money for bullshit and calling it education. Hold them accountable, do not forgive.
I am completely aware that Obama wants to lift it and has even put in motion plans to have it lifted, but it could not have possibly happened already. At least thats what i thought.

It amazes me that college educated idviduals are so fucking dumb and ill informed
Only the Congress has the power to lift the entire embargo(Which consists of several acts passed in the sixties and onwards)
But the Obama administration has stated a policy of easing restrictions and trying to reform relations with Cuba.
In reality he has no power to do anything more than what he already has done and even that is pushing the boundaries of what is legal

That's literally what i'm asking. I know that if it were up to Obama it would already be gone. But it isn't. That's why I'm asking whether or not Congress has gone ahead with that.

No and they aren't going too or at least have any plans too in the near future
As far as Obama goes he is getting his hands in what he can and influencing and controlling certain departments like the State department to ease restrictions like travel and reestablishing diplomatic ties
But this is all under presidential directive and can and will probably will be reversed by the next president very easily

Thank you for the information. If you have any idea why multiple people are under the impression that it recently has?

AM I BEING DETAINED?

Because they listen to the shit spewing main stream media that's why. Im sure they think that if they get the public believing that relations have normalized between Cuba and the US(protip: They haven't) they can pressure the right to acquiesce to Obamas demands. Which is a typical tactic of the left
Trust me as long as Guantanamo bay is open for business relations will NEVER normalize and you see how far Obama has gotten trying to shut that down
Basically all that is happening is Obama and Lurch kerrys state department is rolling over and sucking what Cuba will put in their mouths much like Iran

No, as a Cuban the embargo must be held up, all communists and communistic thought should be executed.

You should write a paper on why Cuba's economy is thriving thanks to the embargo.

The embargo has been eased, but it hasn't been lifted.
