'Our longstanding policies toward Cuba have been a miserable failure, evidenced by the fact that Fidel Castro is now the longest-serving head of state in the world.
If our isolationist policies were meant to weaken him, they certainly haven't worked.

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.'

Obama 2004

Now that would be a 'change'!
