Obama comments on Cuba

Update...Obama is the first presidential candidate to come out with a statement about Cuba. He is also the only one who had previously publicized any plan to normalize relations with the country. He said:

If the Cuban leadership begins opening Cuba to meaningful democratic change, the United States must be prepared to begin taking steps to normalize relations and to ease the embargo of the last five decades. The freedom of the Cuban people is a cause that should bring the Americans together.

Now, what that means, translated out of politikspeak, I don't know. But at least someone in the public eye is talking about it.
