The White House’s “historic” voyage to Cuba is now underway. Senior advisor to President Obama Valerie Jarrett is pumped about leaving for Havana.
Almost time for wheels up to Cuba. My first trip. Very excited! #CubaVisit

Former advisor Dan Pfeiffer also chimed in with some cheerleading.

Ugh. One would think this is some game that they are playing. And in some twisted way, the White House may look at it like that.

When Obama Admin officials sound like they're going on Spring Break, rather than dealing w/ a brutal dictatorship: https://t.co/4JeL83bj1H

While Team Obama is stoked, the situation in Cuba is anything but exciting. As we reported earlier, nine Cubans died at sea attempting to reach the United States. And now this:

Obama is feckless. But hey, he's the first one there…. https://t.co/BVaV8TJhgN

This administration is either ignoring the kind of a dictatorship they are dealing with, or they have completely lost touch with reality. It’s maddening to watch.
