Today’s Video: McCain blasts Obama on Cuba

In a speech given earlier today, Republican presidential hopeful John McCain accused Barack Obama of being too lenient towards the Cuban government. The following video clip from the Associated Press shows McCain speaking in Miami and emphasizing a hard-line stance against the Castro administration:

Though McCain blamed Obama for changing his position on Cuba, the New York Times politics blog noted that McCain also modified his opinion; during the 2000 presidential campaign he advocated for normalizing conditions with Cuba under certain conditions.

Aside from Cuba, McCain criticized Obama and Hillary Clinton for opposing a U.S. free trade pact with Colombia.
