Castro Throws Weight Behind Obama’s Health Care Bill
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 29 August 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/30/2009 4:21:20 PM PDT by John Semmens

The Obama Administration received political support from an unexpected source when retired Cuban dictator Fidel Castro denounced the “rightwing racists opposing this visionary leader” and urged all Americans with “progressive values to rally behind their new President.”

While many Democratic Party leaders were uncertain that this endorsement would necessarily be advantageous, Representative Diane Watson (D-Calif) had no doubts. “President Castro is one of the brightest leaders I’ve ever met,” Watson said. “He gave his country a great health care system. If there’s anyone’s advice we should be taking on this issue it’s his.”

Watson argued that “Fidel’s support coming on top of Hugo’s gives us a potent one-two punch in our fight against the reactionaries trying to mount a counterrevolution against our President. We must stamp out selfish individualism and transform our country to be more socially conscious like Cuba and Venezuela.”

Isn’t Castro a real Liberal’s Liberal Lion? Look at all Castro has accomplished on his own.

Is Castro lobbying to take over the recently vacated Senate seat? I don’t think we’d see a big difference in the philosophy or the bloviating :)

Cool! He uses the same terminology as the Democratic leadership and the mainstream press!

Birds of a feather, once a party member always a party member...etc.

Was that before or after Castro was cremated? Is there such a thing as a “retired former dictator”?
