'¡Muchas Gracias!': 'Yes We Did!' Obama Declares at Cuba Embassy.
President Barack Obama said Sunday as he visited with U.S. Embassy staff in Cuba that he hoped the sight of a U.S. president in Havana would quickly become something Cubans are used to seeing.
"¡Muchas gracias!" the president said at a staff gathering on his arrival in Havana, where he embarked on what he called a mission to "forge new agreements and commercial deals and build new ties, and for me to lay out vision for a future brighter than our past."
U.S. Ambassador Jeffrey DeLaurentis introduced the president by reminding staffers that Obama had promised "Yes, we can," and he said that with the opening of Cuba, "Yes, we did."
