Obama Defends His Cuba Policy

In The New York Times:

An Obama campaign official took strong issue with Mr. [Paul] Ryan’s characterization of the administration’s Cuba policy [as "appeasement"], saying that Mr. Obama “has repeatedly renewed the trade embargo with Cuba, pressured the Castro regime to give its people more of a say in their own future, and supported democracy movements on the island.”

The official also said that the administration had “put in place common-sense, family-based reforms that allow Cuban-Americans to visit their family members still living in Cuba.”
