What Failure?

clipped from dailymail.com But I doubt that JFK would say about negotiating with Cuba, as Obama said in the Texas debate That clarified an earlier statement when Obama said he would meet with the leaders of North Korea, Iran and Cuba "without preconditions." Kennedy never availed himself of the opportunity of negotiating with Fidel Castro, with or without preconditions. I also doubt that Kennedy would say, as Obama said of our policy toward Cuba in the same debate: "I support the eventual normalization, and it's absolutely true that I think our policy has been a failure." The reason I say that  Kennedy would never call our policy a failure is because it was a success. The United States has flourished. Las Vegas has happily substituted for the casinos of Havana, and sugar seems to be in ample supply. Maybe Obama means that our policy has been a failure for Cuba.
