"John McCain Believes Sen. Obama's Policies Would Send The Worst Possible Signal To Cuba's Dictators.
Just a few years ago, Sen. Obama had a very clear view on Cuba. In a questionnaire, Barack Obama stated:
“I believe that normalization of relations with Cuba would help the oppressed and poverty-stricken Cuban people while setting the stage for a more democratic government once Castro inevitably leaves the scene.”
Now Sen. Obama has shifted positions and says he only favors easing the embargo, not lifting it.
He also wants to sit down unconditionally for a presidential meeting with Raul Castro."
Here is Obama's problem. Obama is more interested in sitting down with Raul Castro than in supporting NAFTA and the Colombia agreement.
Obama is leading the Dems in "anti-free trade" direction, which is very bad news for responsible leaders like Mexico's Calderon and Colombia's Uribe. At this pace, "The Ugly American" is going to have Obama's face.
Obama is wrong on Cuba. He is even more wrong on Latin American trade agreements! Free trade is critical to modernize Latin Am economies. Obama is obviously more interested in pandering to unions than concerning himself with national security. See The Democrats' Dangerous Trade Games By C. FRED BERGSTEN!
