Northing earth-shattering here, but just came across this video of Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney talking Cuba. He sees big opportunties for American business in a post-Castro Cuba, but before any of that happens, for example, Cuba must release its political prisoners, Romney says.
UPDATED, 9:30 p.m. EDT
Romney took a swipe at Democratic candidate Barack Obama while campaigning in Florida today:
Later, Romney criticized Democrat Barack Obama for saying last week that he would meet with the leaders of Iran, Venezuela, Syria and Cuba.Romney told 350 people at a Seminole County GOP fundraiser Saturday that the next president should meet with friendly nations first.
"Surely the next American president would want to reach out to our friends around the world, particular here in our own hemisphere," he said, specifically mentioning Colombia and Mexico. "We want to reach out to these people, re-establish our relationships and trust."
Obama was asked during a debate last week if he would meet - without precondition - with the leaders of Cuba, North Korea, Syria, Iran and Venezuela. The Illinois senator said he would.
Romney said he would not restore relations with Cuba until it had free elections, political prisoners were freed and individual rights were restored.
