HAVANA (AP) — Fidel Castro thanked Cubans for their well-wishes on his 90th birthday and criticized President Barack Obama in a lengthy letter published in state media. He appeared but did not speak at a gala in his honor broadcast on state television Saturday evening.

"I want to express my deepest gratitude for the shows of respect, greetings and praise that I've received in recent days, which give me strength to reciprocate with ideas that I will send to party militants and relevant organizations," he wrote.

I guess Obama is not revolutionary enough for Fidel’s tastes. There’s just no pleasing some people! /s;)

It sounds like Fidel doesn’t care much for JV dictators.

“...I guess Obama is not revolutionary enough for Fidel’s tastes....”

He would probably command some respect from plain ole communists if he were just a plain ole communist. But he is not. As we so horribly know. And they know.

Fidel long ago made his pact with Satan, who keeps his end of the bargain, always. On Earth is not his equal.

Expect to see Castro celebrate his 100th.

Meanwhile, your average Cuban has a life expectancy of half that.

Did Castro refer to Obama as “grasshopper”?

Castro counts on bashing America to feed Cubans the bs. No matter what we appease them with will not change their focus on the scam as Dinesh noted in Hillary America

"Modern medical techniques have allowed me to scrutinize the universe," wrote Castro,

How lovely. If only his people were so fortunate to have access to such techniques.

Castro returns at the end to criticize Obama, who appeared to anger the revolutionary leader with a March trip to Cuba in which he called for Cubans to look toward the future. A week after the trip, Castro wrote a sternly worded letter admonishing Obama to read up on Cuban history, and declaring that "we don't need the empire to give us anything."

You don't need the empire? Fair enough. Then why open relations if true?

It seems Obama's Cuba tour has failed to impress at least one of the Castro brothers.
