Cuba’s Fidel backs Obama
Published: 28 May, 2008, 10:11
The former president of communist Cuba, Fidel Castro, is supporting Barack Obama in the race for the White House. Castro, who stepped down in February because of continuing poor health, said the Democratic Senator was the most “advanced” candi
The compliment, however, is likely to give ammunition to Obama’s rivals. It will hand Republican nominee, Senator John McCain, an opportunity to question Mr Obama's foreign policy.
McCain has already attacked Obama because of the remarks of a top Hamas official. Ahmed Yousuf said he hoped Obama would become the U.S. president. Hamas is listed by the U.S. State Department as a terrorist organisation.
In a column in Cuba’s Granma newspaper, Castro said that although he disagrees with Obama’s decision to maintain Washington's trade sanctions against Cuba, he thinks Obama is “the most progressive candidate for the U.S. presidency.”

It is pathetic that US citizens are duped by multimillionaire families who OWN the "news media", TV, Health and all "Insurance" companies, and even the Public School Tect books (from Texas as we heard accurately in Air America Radio). How did the US population sink so lw from being the heroes who saved the worl from Hitler the maniac who made a deal with Pope at that time. These "childish" attempts to tarnish ANY american will not be tolerated by US citizens anymore. Gone are the days of "brain wash" by RICH & GREEDY republicans who are 'amassing" wealth for their drunken off springs (I feel sorry for their kids- please abondon your parents & come to Democracy if you are smart kids). Why should it worry- if they passed info to Cuban Gove. They are small & powerless country under TRADE sanction (i.e. "starved to sickness" by USA). Why is the BIG bully worried? "unless" the intelligent couple passed on info about how the US Republicans and Rothchild families hope to use CUBA as a future "Nuclear Submareine" base...? These "greedies" want Cuba for the "same" reason they want Afganistan-- for "Absolute Power On Profit making Trade Routes". Shame on you. have a GOOD heart then NOTHING to hide like the innocent Iraqis, Palestinians & Afganis who are killed like the "Lamb Of God" for the Witness Day when the Lord will sit on the Throne for Judgment. All those "murdered" will be WITNESS against the "Rothchild Devil" & ensure "absolute" detention in Hell for ETERNITY while the ones who dies (as "colateral" damage) will be in HEAVEN for eternity, yes, ETERNITY from the fleeting life on this Mother Earth. Shame on this journalistic writing who attempt to "divert" attention to Devilish Pranks to help the Rothchild Dynasty of Snake Worshipping Monsters.
All people are meant to live together and love each other. It is time to put down the gun and put up a helping hand. The sanctions should be lifted on Cuba and allow these people to survive and travel and see their extended families who are here. It makes no sense to keep this up all these years.This Earth belongs to God and man owns nothing, we are all caretakers and we as the human race have NOT been doing a great job. Stop it! allow others to live. We are NOT the "world police" and we need to stay out of other people's business. Live and let live!
