Obama: "The United States seeks a new beginning with Cuba"

[cali]

He's speaking about it now. And yes, this is change. "I do believe we can move Cuban-American relations in a new direction".

1. I am 57, and it has been long enough.

My earliest memory of Cuba is being terrified during the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.

Has this not been long enough? There is much to work out. But excuse me, are we not trading partners with Vietnam?

Enough. Good for President Obama.

4. Full Text

They would have us make the false choice between a rigid, state-run economy and unbridled and unregulated capitalism; between blame for right wing paramilitaries or left wing insurgents; between sticking to inflexible policies with regard to Cuba or denying the full human rights that are owed to the Cuban people.

I didn’t come here to debate the past – I came here to deal with the future. As neighbors, we have a responsibility to each other and to our citizens. And by working together, we can take important steps forward to advance prosperity, security, and liberty.
