Obama rebuts McCain: He's offering only more of the same

Barack Obama is firing back at John McCain who criticized his remarks in last night's debate that he'd consider talking to Raul Castro.

In remarks sure to stir exile groups, Obama says McCain, "would give us four more years of the same Bush-McCain policies that have failed U.S. interests and the Cuban people for the last fifty years."

McCain earlier today called Obama's remarks "dangerously naive."

But Obama didn't retreat, saying he'd call for an "immediate change in policy" to allow for unlimited family travel and remittances to the island.

"In November, the American people will have a clear choice: a new direction versus more war in Iraq, more not talking to leaders we don't like and more of a Cuba policy that has failed to achieve freedom for the Cuban people.

"I am confident that the American people will choose the promise of the future over the failed policies and predictable political attacks of the past."

If Obama becomes President, it would be the equivalent of a 5 year old being admitted into college. He is clueless.
