Castro: It’s a ‘miracle’ Obama is still alive

HAVANA –– Former Cuban president Fidel Castro charged that American society was marked by “profound racism” and that it was a “pure miracle” that U.S. presidential hopeful Barack Obama has not been assassinated. “Profound racism exists in the United States,” Castro wrote in a commentary that appeared on the Web site Cubadebate Saturday as he weighed in on the U.S. presidential race ahead of the November 4 election.

“Millions of whites cannot reconcile in their minds with the idea that a black man with his wife and children would move into the White House, which is called just like that — White,” he wrote.

He added that it was a “pure miracle” the Illinois senator, who became the first black politician to win the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination, had not been assassinated thus far.

The ailing Cuban communist leader, who handed power to his brother Raul earlier this year, described Obama as a politician who “has the habit of looking at his opponent with serenity and laughing at his rhetorical attacks.”

Castro’s comments came as a war of words with racial undertones marked the U.S. White House race after civil rights icon John Lewis accused Republican candidate John McCain of sowing “hatred” against Obama, who is developing a commanding lead in opinion polls.

Castro also mocked McCain’s poor grades at the naval academy and said Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin “knew nothing at all about anything.”

Castro is a piece of Sh-t who is trying to create more racial tension in the USA. I thought he was already brain dead.

Just another leftie, playing the race card, because the right wing WON'T. It's the only way to get it out there. If anything were, God forbid, to happen to the O, the blame would rest squarely on his own left. It always does.

It appears that BLACKS are much more racist than whites are now..
Blacks are into group think the way southern whites used to be..
Castro has it right except 180 degrees out of phase, as usual..

Liberals and leftists are always out of timing
when you should go left they go right when you should go right they go left..

Of course poor grades from the Naval Academy beats being a valedictorian in Havana.  If you take the 10 smartest people on the planet and put them around a table in a room, one of them is the dumbest.

Another endorsement for zero to add to the list. Hamas, Hezbollah, Qadafi, Achmajimmywhozis, Hugo Chavez, and now Fidel. How inspiring. Oh, and don’t forget Calypso Louie.

He has a point. Using drugs while being involved with organized crime and violent terrorists is high-risk behavior.

Didn't he croak?

Does anyone remember (have) the video of him tumbling off the stage at a ceremony a few years ago?

CLASSIC!

Several years ago, Castro had to build a bunch of high rises to accomodate all the Americans who left the U.S. by plane, boat or just swimming to his island utopia. s/off

From what I’ve heard from the blacks that I know, Castro is not saying anything that is not already generally believed in this part of the country. The fact that secret service protection was assigned to Obama much earlier than is customary only cemented their beliefs. I’ve wondered if this is being spread in the churches or elsewhere. Many times I have asked why they believe this and the only answer I ever get is something like “that’s what they say” or “black man don’t stand a chance”.

Well there has been a prediction made early this year by a Nobel Prize writer from the UK who won it in 2007 that Obama would get assasinated if elected.

It is no miracle that castro is alive. It is because everyone who might have helped with that was shot to death over the last 50 years. Especially during che's tenure.

For once I find myself agreeing with the decomposing dictator.

He is very lucky to still be breathing.

Can you imagine how much it must suck waking up next to that screeching harpie michelle every morning? I'm surprised she hasn't killed hussein herself. Or driven him to suicide.

That marriage alone is sufficient to convince me hussein is incapable of making good rational decisions under stress.

If that isn’t calling the kettle black.

I can’t believe both castro brothers haven’t been killed by one of his starving country men.

That old Communist mass murderer needs to shut his pie hole.
Why is it that every Communist- as well as racist, terrorist, Muslim and America hater is foaming at the mouth to get Hussein Obama into the White House?

Just take a look at a partial list of his supporters:

>William Ayers
(Weatherman Underground bomber, unrepentant domestic terrorist)

>Frank Davis
(Member Communist Party USA, Early mentor to Obama.
Recently disclose that he wrote an autobio porno book where he disclosed he was ‘bi’ and a pedophile.)

>Jeremiah Wright
(Black Liberation militant, racist, and Pastor)

>Tony Rezko
(Corrupt Financier, ties to Terror Financing)

>Louis Farrakhan
(Nation of Islam Leader, racist, anti-American)

>RailaOrdinga
(Fundamental Islamic Candidate, Kenya, Obama’s Cousin
Responsible for the deaths of over 1200 during riots when he lost the election- including 50 who were burned alive in a Christian church where they sought refuge. Obama went to Kenya to campaign for Odinga1)

>Daniel Ortega
(Marxist Sandinista Leader. Nicarauga)

>Raul Castro
(Hard-line Communist Leader, Cuba)

>Fidel Castro- (former hard line leader of Cuba)

>Communist Party Illinois
(US Communist Political Party)

>Socialist Party USA
(Marxist Socialist Political Party)

>The New Black Panther Party
(Black Militant Organization, anti-American and racist)

>Hamas Terrorist Organization
(Islamic Terrorist Organization)

>More than 80 attorneys for Guantanamo detainees
-who have been offering free-of-charge legal services.
Not surprising that lawyers for Muslim terrorists would support Obama.

>The Communist Party USA

>The Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism

>Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim congressman

> Sam Graham-Felsen, (Obama campaign’s official blogger)
He spent time in France taking part in labor riots, has written for a socialist magazine, hung a communist flag in his home, and was a fan of Marx while at Harvard.

>Kwame Kilpatrick

>MoveOn.org
George Soros’ (slumlord undergoing trial) son, Jonathan Soros, an attorney and financier, recently promoted to deputy manager of Soros Fund Management , is personally involved with MoveOn.org’s activities.

>Muslim Americans for Obama ‘08

>The Muslim American Society

>Obama Supporters for Marijuana Law Reform

>Obama Youth
“Obama Youth” had as its logo the Islamic crescent and stars (until word got out on the net and they had to clean it up)

>President Daniel Ortega
..who stated, “It’s not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change.”

>Project Islamic H. O. P. E.
..who displayed Obama as their banner boy until word got out and they had to clean that up.
Obama is no longer there on the site.

>Rev. Al Sharpton
..obviously supports Obama, but obviously advised to keep it quiet.

>Shepard Fairey
Official artist of the Obama posters...remarkable resemblance to Marxist posters

>Tony Rezko
Obama said that he estimated Rezko raised about 50,000 to 60,000 for his political career.
Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle.

>Malaak Shabazz
Daughter of Malcomb X

>The Socialist Party USA

>George Soros
billionaire - anti-Israel master manipulator

They all support, endorse, and/or friends and mentors and advisors of BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

They all hate America, they all want to destroy America as we know it. They all want the United States to retreat in the war on terror, and they all want to make over the United States into a marxist/socialist/collective nation

Obama’s own core ideology/theology, coincide with these people.
This says all you need to know about Obama.. You can and should judge a man by the company he keeps.
Maybe this explains Obama hands were over his crotch instead of saluting the flag/anthem and refusing to wear the flag pin- claiming to do so was ‘false patriotism’
