Every President wants to get along (with Cuba), but one cannot negotiate while certain things continue to take place, which have been taking place for fifty something years, in Cuba: the abuse of people, political prisoners, the people who have died trying to cross the Florida Straits searching for freedom and, most importantly, the lack of freedom of expression. Until that exists, no negotiations can exist with Cuba.
