President Obama speech in Cuba – FULL SPEECH (C-SPAN)

[henrycosta]

You need to listen, really listen to this entire discourse by President Obama - he has asked the Cuban and American people to leave the past in the past and look forward to the future and as Jose Marti said - Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy. Thank You President Obama, I am proud to be a Cuban American today.- Thanks Mom & Dad

I'm not a USA citizen, I live in an African country and man I'll tell you I'll give my nuts to have a president like this. His charisma is over 9000, he's intelligent and he's a master diplomat. Yet I see a lot of Americans bitching about him, they almost seem ungrateful and unaware of how good they have it.

The Haters NEVER give any reasons for their negativity. They watch this man who has a loving heart and is always doing things to prove it and the Haters seem to be only able to type enough words to call him vulgar names but not enough to explain why they find this historical moment so horrible. Those in the audience are human beings as we are seeking a better life. Having trade & business with Cuba can only help both of us! So what's the problem Haters?

[sananp.]

That was simply awesome. To all of you filled with so much hate and bitterness that it blinds you, I feel sorry for you.

Change has to start somewhere. In my years of exile I've never seen anybody put in the slightest effort to step up to the plate and take a swing at the bat against one of the most notorious pitchers in politics history ( i am referencing the Castros as the pitcher). President Obama has taken that initiative. For those of us who were born in that regime, we know what it takes to get from one day to the next. I am also hopefull for the future. I do believe that there will be elections in Cuba in the future, I also believe that my peoples life will better from this, simply because we are smart and humble people. However, the President is right, this will take time. The important thing in all of this is that the movement has begun and nobody can't deny that.

Hello people from future. I lived this age and moment. Hope the world get better there.

[gattamelata]

Just with this speech Obama has solidified his place in History and has validated his legacy

[eduesmalo]

24:44 "El futuro de Cuba tiene que estar en las manos del pueblo cubano"

[Evocati]

I'm conservative-leaning with, let's say, very close ties to Cuba and I have to say this was an amazing speech.

[ThePalomadiaz]

We are watching history! Students will be watching this video for years to understand US Latin America relations. (and considering the prospects for the future of US presidency, this may be one of the highest points of US -Latin America relationship in the coming years

[Alexigente]

Another masterful, inspirational speech from a President who is on the right side of history
regarding Cuba. So sorry to see him go!

[TheFrankesti]

Obama is amazing in this moment! My respects to this man.

[WyattTheGreatX]

[jgrau]

I am a Cuban Rafter. I was born in 1966. I was brain wash and I was told Gringos were bad. I still decided to take an small bote and cruise the ocean to make my own opinion in 1994. Actually I am going to be 50 in May. I love my friends from America and I love my friends from Cuba. We need a change. I am afraid to offend my friends from here because I love them but I truly believe we need the embargo lifted and I believe that is wrong to be afraid to express myself, that is not why I came to America for. My believe is not to please the Castro's but because I truly believe is the only way to establish a democracy in Cuba. If the only way is to Kill the Castro's, sorry, I am not a killer. I believe in democracy and that's why I came to America. I trust that Information and opening will make the difference! As OBAMA said, embargo only hut the Cubans in both sides!
