Cuba's Fidel Castro
HAVANA, Cuba (The Blaze/AP) — Fidel Castro has never had a cohesive relationship with the United States. But in recent years, he has uttered some more lukewarm comments about the U.S. government under Barack Obama.
But the Cuban leader is now mocking U.S. President Barack Obama for saying he’s open to changing U.S. policy toward Cuba if there is change on the island first.
Castro writes sarcastically: “How kind! How intelligent!” He adds that such goodwill has not led Washington to end its five-decade-old economic embargo against the island.
Castro says many things will change in Cuba, but it will happen organically and in spite of pressure from Washington.
The ex-leader says “perhaps that empire will fall first,” referring to the U.S. Later he calls Obama “stupid.”
These comments contrast some of Castro’s past praise for Obama. Back in 2010, following the passage of the Democrats’ contentious health care legislation, Castro called the development “a miracle” and wrote, “We consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success of his (Obama’s) government.” He continued:
“It is really incredible that 234 years after the Declaration of Independence … the government of that country has approved medical attention for the majority of its citizens, something that Cuba was able to do half a century ago.”
Castro’s most recent comments come in an article published in state media Thursday.
Earlier this week he called Obama’s speech to the U.N. General Assembly “gibberish.”

Posted on September 29, 2011 at 12:42pmYet, this will do nothing for the ego of Barry, who believes he is the one and only person who can make other countries hug each other and give out lollipops. Castro is insane, but makes a valid point that Obama has refused to accept—his words do not change things. And his acting like an authoritarian who can cause other countries to do as he says is non-existent. Narcissism has a high price, and when you go head to head with other crazy delusional narcissists….

Posted on September 29, 2011 at 2:36pmWhat scares me is that our enemies know this is the time to attack the USA! I believe more is being done by the Obama administration voluntarily through GE and Soros than we realize! Our worst enemies, communists from within have access to all of our nations top secrets and they want to destroy America!!! It’s frightening what is most definitely happening behind closed doors!!!

Posted on September 30, 2011 at 8:11amBarack Hussein Obama is stupid, but like a fox. His stupidity is a mask to hide his cunningness. So far he has managed to sidestep the US Consittution and create rules and regulations through his Presidential Executive Orders without as much as a hand slap. Obama is protected by “racial immunity.” He’s black, so therefore he gets a free pass. Cunning, yes, but stupid, no!
An Impeachment process should have been started months ago, but the African that has become the POTUS seemingly is above and beyond the law. He should be held accountable for the ATF “Fast & Furious” scandal along with the US Attorney General Eric Holder, but nothing is being done to bring down the ones who are responsible. WHY?
