HAVANA (Reuters) - President Barack Obama is trying to make positive changes in the United States, but is being fought at every turn by right-wingers who hate him because he is black, former Cuban leader Fidel Castro said on Tuesday.

In an unusually conciliatory column in the state-run media, Castro said Obama had inherited many problems from his predecessor, George W. Bush, and was trying to resolve them. But the "powerful extreme right won't be happy with anything that diminishes their prerogatives in the slightest way."

powerful extreme right?

i can't remember when the right has been this weak in terms of power in the gov't. the problem for the administration is the democrats who know they will lose their jobs if they toe the obama line.

[Constitutions Grandchild]

Makes no difference to me. I'd fight the poor offerings of this administration and those who pull the strings in Congress if they were purple with green stripes and yellow polka dots. Fidel, you really need to get over the worn rhetoric of the 70s. It's a sign of the times, dear, when you can't keep up with the young’uns. You're going to become irrelevant and when you do, I hope you'll be the first to sign up for “end of life” counseling. After all, it's the right thing to do.

By their friends you shall know them.

Well, we just lost the Hollywood vote...

[cranked]

Castro, do you often find yourself tripping over things?
How about one more time, kkthx.

Hey Fidel, I remember well when you were swept to power and then exposed your true colors and betrayed your country and began murdering the Cuban people with your pogroms. I pray to my Lord that I will be alive (in this world I’m saying) when you take your last breath—that way I’ll know that a few people will survive the day, now for your brother...

Castro's just pissed off about us ending the "Cash For Clunkers" program.

It turns out he's got thousands of 1955 Chevy Belairs, '56 Plymouths and a few two-tone '59 Oldsmobiles he was dying to unload.

It would salvage the year 2009 if both Ted Kennedy and Fidel Castro would be dirt-napping when the ball drops for 2010.

Flame away..

[Just A Nobody]

I don't recall ... did Fidel write a column declaring that President Bush "is being fought at every turn by right LEFT-wingers who hate him because he is black a Christian?

Sorry, don't have time at the moment to search for it.

[reagan_fanatic]

Of course Fidel is going to stick-up for Obama - he’s done more to advance socialism and communism in America than any other U.S. President in history!

NOT!

Who’s this Commie Jackass to make ANY comment on people making use of their collective right to FREE SPEECH, especially someone who shoots people for LEAVING his Island “paradise”.

But you do have to support “fellow travelers”...
