Fidel Castro Applauds US Healthcare Reform

Castro calls reform a "miracle" and a victory over "lobbyists and political mercenaries," in qualified praise of President Obama, whom he calls a "fanatical believer in the imperialist capitalist system."

Cuban dictator Fidel Castro has publicly praised the United States Congress' passage of healthcare reform in an column published in the state-controlled multimedia outlet "Granma." Castro characterized the development as "an important battle, and a success of [President Obama's] government."

The "Reflections of Fidel" column proceeds in Castro's trademark elliptical style to list criticisms of Obama and the United States, later saying that he "harbor[s] no antagonism toward Obama." The essay begins by describing the American President as "a fanatical believer in the imperialist capitalist system."

He's just saying that because he's Obama's buddy. Just like Chavez and Chairmen Mao.

Castros' approval should make Obama feel good about himself. Obama certainly has more in common with Castro and the communist than he does with the American people.

Yea. Castro hates our country. So he wouldn't be applauding anything going on here unless he thought it was bad for us. Dead give away that this is a bad thing.
