HAVANA (Reuters) - Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro lauded the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to U.S. President Barack Obama, saying on Saturday it was "a positive measure" that was more a criticism of past U.S. policies than a recognition of Obama's accomplishments.
Castro said the prize made up for the blow Obama suffered last week when the International Olympic Committee awarded the 2016 Summer Games to Rio de Janeiro after Obama had flown to Copenhagen to pitch for Chicago, his adoptive hometown.
The Nobel Committee announced on Friday that Obama had won the peace price for his "extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."
The decision prompted surprise in many quarters and anger from Obama's conservative foes in the United States.
But Castro, who has generally written positively about Obama, was pleased at the decision by the committee.
"I don't always share the positions of that institution but I'm obligated to recognize that in this instance it was, in my judgment, a positive measure," Castro wrote in a column published in state-run media.

Breaking: Obama Wins Dumb-bell Prize for Economics!
I agree with Castro for once! The Nobel Committee was sending a message that they're happy Bush is no longer President. It has nothing to do with Obama.
Maybe Fidel willl have a shot at next years’ Nobel Peace Prize. Unless he is beat by Mugabe or Kim Chong Il.
Bingo. This whole fiasco was all a repudiation of GWB.
The old camel probably nominated Obama for the award.
haha...I like his red, white, and blue sweats....seems a little out of place on him....
LOL - castro wearing an Addidas jacket. He sure hates that capitalism crap!

I would think he is starting to get stinky by now!
If Obama isn’t embarrassing himself . . .which he usually does
Then the Nobel Committee will
Then throw in Castro too . . . what an endorsement!
ROFL at these TOTAL IDIOTS
Castro happy, republicans not.
What part of this equation surprises anyone?
This is further proof of how absurd the “Peace Prize” has become.
People are not fooled. They see right through this.
Ain’t it the truth?
All those who loathe human freedom LOVE this award for the Zero who similarly hates freedom!
Well yeah, Obama is one of his students. Fidel’s prized pupil.
