Included in the Obama budget proposal was a reduction in the enforcement of the travel ban of Cuban-Americans back to Cuba. Since Senator Robert Menendez doesn't want his Cuban-American brothers and sisters to travel back to that country, the NYT reports that he has decided to resond by obstructing the nomination of two top Obama science advisors.Interestingly, the Senator is publicly mum about this move: "Menendez spokesman Afshin Mohamadi declined to comment on the matter, writing in an e-mail, 'It is our office's policy not to speculate or comment on anonymous holds or rumors of anonymous holds, across the board'."
