The President will be the first Sitting President to visit Cuba since 1928. Will his visit help improve the way of life for Cubans? Will it Influence the Cuban Leadership to change its Political System in that Country? Do you think it will Influence US/Cuban Relations?

Personally, I think this visit is more symbolic than it is as a doorway to improved relations between the US/Cuba. No one really knows what relations between the two countries will be like until there's a new president and they lay out their agenda in regards to relations with Cuba imo.

The Castro brothers may see Obama as a very weak leader and just be trying to use him for their own benefit. You have to believe Putin has been giving Castro advice about this meeting. I think it is just a photo op so Obama can spin it and claim he brought the Cubans and Americans together.

I'm not sure that his visit will bring any immediate change in Cuba's political system or diplomatic relations with Cuba. What will bring change to Cuba will be the influx of US tourists, their dollars and the improvements that will result to ensure the continuance of the tourist trade.

You forgot to mention we may now see more Cuban cigars in the USA which is not a bad thing if you like to smoke a good cigar.

Any presidential visits to foreign nations improve relations with that nation as far as media goes.
