The Washington Post praises president Obama for tough words on Cuba concerning their treatment of strikers:
PRESIDENT OBAMA issued a statement Wednesday that forthrightly described what has become of his effort to reach out to the Castro regime in Cuba. “Instead of embracing an opportunity to enter a new era,” he said, “Cuban authorities continue to respond to the aspirations of the Cuban people with a clenched fist.”
Yes it’s great to see a US president standing forthrightly against a government taking actions so obviously against the will of its people. I wonder what might have prompted the sudden attention to this issue by the administration?
