Huge Endorsement for Obama

KingOlerud · 05-28-2008, 09:28 AM

Fidel favors Barack

Just what the presidential candidates have been waiting for: Cuba's Fidel Castro is weighing in on the campaign.

The 81-year-old leader of the Cuban revolution may have given up his position as the country's president, but he writes regularly for the Communist Party newspaper, Granma -- and in a column in Monday's edition ...

he calls Barack Obama "the most advanced candidate" in the race. (That's the English translation as provided by Associated Press and Reuters; the Granma English-language site translates his characterization as "this strong candidate." The article in the original Spanish is here.)

"I feel no resentment towards him, for he is not responsible for the crimes perpetrated against Cuba and humanity," Castro wrote. "Were I to defend him, I would do his adversaries an enormous favor."

An 'endorsement' no candidate wants: Fidel favors Barack : Top of the Ticket : Los Angeles Times

He probably got enthused when he saw the picture of that Obama campaign worker in Houston wearing a Che t-shirt.

I just want to hear Bin Laden endorse him. If I'm Bush, I get the cia to leak a phony tape of him and damage his campaign more. **** it, it's not my dime

Just to see the reaction would make it worth it.

Obama is getting all sorts of lovely endorsements. Ecuador's Socialist President and Hugo Chavez lap-dog, Raphael Correa, recently threw bouquets at Obama

Correa made it clear that Clinton had a better chance of defeating McCain because "They're still quite racist there," the leftist leader said.

Correa also complimented Clinton, calling her a "very brilliant, beautiful and charismatic woman," but said Obama's positions are closer to his own.

Jimmy Carter, Hamas, Fidel Castro, Raphael Correa.

No reason to worry about a President Obama. No reason at all.
