Joe Biden: [Obama] was trying to change Cuban policies so the Cuban people would get out from under the thumb of the Castro and his brother. That is, to change the policy so that we can impact on Cuba's policy by getting them opened up.
Bernie Sanders: Barack Obama was more generous in his praise of what Cuba did in healthcare and education than I was. I was talking about a program 60 years ago in the first year of the Castro revolution.
Biden:Bernie's notion about how he embraces folks like Cuba and the former Soviet Union and talks about the good things they did in China is absolutely contrary to every message we want to send the rest of the world.
