Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: No, President Obama did not say the same thing as BS about Cuba. [View all]ehrnst
(32,640 posts)28. Nope... not the same at all.
BS was talking about what he thinks Castro's revolution brought to Cuba in 1959.
President Obama was talking about the post 2014 strides that Cuba had made as part of the negotiated pre-conditions for normalizing US-Cuba relations. Cuba had to meet benchmarks during the gradual process of moving towards normalization.
You're welcome!

No, he didn't. Bernie praised Castro's education program, same as what Obama did.
