picture wise. >> michaela, i'll tell you one example of how bad the relationship between cuba and the united states was in 2009 when president obama took office. i remember meeting the head of the cuban intrasection here in washington and we were talking about hented to get good chinese food and i suggested going to a restaurant in northern virginia in one of the suburbs and he told me he couldn't go because he's not allowed to travel outside the beltway they had restrictions on how far cuban diplomats, cuban intersection is the de facto embassy, at least until now when the president changes this with his executive action. so that gives you a sense of how bad this relationship was. the diplomats couldn't even travel to get chinese food outside the belt way. they couldn't travel 25 miles outside of new york city. beginning last year those restrictions started end iing.
