Bill Clinton actually said...

"The Cuban Government's disgraceful human rights record underscores the need for our coordinated international strategy."

"This historic initiative will set the foundation for a stronger partnership between the United States and Africa."

"It is sending a strong message to the Cuban Government that the time for change is now and a strong message to the Cuban people that we stand with them in their efforts to build a democratic future."

"I take this action because it is in America's national interest and because it will hasten the day when the people of Cuba enjoy freedom and democracy."
