Even vicious, reprehensible, and disgusting tyrants sometimes make wise observations. Back in 2010, for instance, Cuba’s Murderer-in-Chief 
confessed that communism didn’t work.
More recently, the thug expressed unhappiness with the current crop of presidential candidates in America. Here’s some of what he wrote.
Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro said Monday that a “robot” would be better in the White House than President Barack Obama — or any of the Republicans candidates in the 2012 election race. …Under the title “The Best President for the United States,” Cuba’s ex-president said that if faced with a choice between Obama, a Republican rival or a robot, “90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot.”
I imagine someone clever could come up with a good joke about Mitt Romney being a robot and Castro making a subliminal endorsement, but I’ll simply make the serious point that elections in the United States all too often feature two candidates who only differ in that one will expand the burden of government at a faster rate than the other.
So even though Castro’s thinking and my thinking are as different as night and day, I’m also less than thrilled about the likely options this November.
Though I’m not sure why Castro has soured on Obama. Has anything changed since 2010, when he endorsed Obamacare?

P.S. Here’s a good Jay Leno joke about Cuban and American economic policy.

Two very ´quotable´quotes by Mr. Dan Mitchell:
1) I imagine someone clever could come up with a good joke about Mitt Romney being a robot and Castro making a subliminal endorsement
2) Elections in the United States all too often feature two candidates who only differ in that one will expand the burden of government at a faster rate than the other.
As for Castro criticizing Obama: As far as I know during the epoch of big expansion efforts by the Soviet Union-the 1950s, 1960s- communists considered social democratic (left leaning) regimes much more a threat than less left leaning regimes. Probably that was a matter of rivalry, a communist regime cannot seduce a lot of libertarians but may seduce a lot of social democrats, liberals, democrats, etc

The asshole needs to die and go to hell.
“. . . I’m not sure why Castro has soured on Obama. Has anything changed since 2010, when he endorsed Obamacare?”
Could it be that Castro is disappointed with the slow rate of ‘change’ that the President advised during the 2008 campaign? Much of what Castro heard during that time must have had a familiar ring to his revolutionary ears! Even though our current President seems to be following through on his “. . . fundamentally transforming this nation” agenda, apparently it just isn’t progressing vast enough to suite Castro.
If we could just persuade the robot to run.
In fact, I’m going to put that quote in the “Quotable Quotes” section of my blog where it will be read by thousands, er,,hundreds, er,,scores, er,,,several people from all over the world.
Ron Paul 2012!!! We’re not giving up yet!
“I’ll simply make the serious point that elections in the United States all too often feature two candidates who only differ in that one will expand the burden of government at a faster rate than the other.”
Amen. A quotable moment.
Probably, Fidel Castro was an interesting politician on decades 60s and 70s. Then, he became a communist and a dictator. He destroyed Cubans (and most probable other societies). How can you believe or share a bit of a though of a character like him..?
