End the Embargo, get to be in the position the USSR/Venezuela once held, IE major source of funding, and we'll have more control over the regime.

Seriously?!??! You really believe that ?!?!?!?!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA
No seriously, Cuba was about to fall over because the Soviets stopped propping them up shortly after the Wall fell. Venezuela has been infusing them with cash, but even before oil prices collapsed, they had to cut back their subsidies because of their internal issues (socialism always seems to have them in spades).
So Cuba's (and the Castro's) sources of hard currency were drying up, to the point that regime could not and would not be able to prop itself up anymore, but Obama swoops in and with this move will save the Castros from themselves and their failed socialist system. Now was the time not to end the embargo, but to double down on it. The cracks would have quickly appeared and then the entire rotten edifice would have collapsed. But nope, Obama hater of all things colonial and lover of all things Marxist cannot allow the grand socialist revolution of Cuba to fail. What would his father think!!
As an aside, while he did attend an Islamic school in Indonesia, I think that the Marxist aspect of his belief system is much more dominate then his "religious" side. While he has empathy for Islam (and Muslim states), he's much more of socialist/Marxist then Muslim. Hell, all you have to do is read his books to learn that. There is also the movie
2016 which I highly recommend. Dinesh D'Souza does a great job of dissecting Obama's two autobiographies to get to what drives him and what he believes.
