Awww shoot, our second worst prez was down there making commie points, now he’s got to repack a funeral suit. Kim Il Sung died about 2 weeks after he ........visited him too.

The Cuban regime is preparing for the post-Castro era. The purpose of Fidel Castro “stepping down” is to assure that his death will not be seen as having immediate practical consequence because all power and authority will have already passed from him.

I checked on babalublog.com. The news hasn’t hit there just yet but scrolling down, I read an entry about the recent party congress where some piddling-but-unprecedented reforms were announced.

The cuban communist party congress had been postponed for two years because the commandantes were certain that Obama, Pelosi and Reid were going to lift the trade/financing/tourism sanctions and bail them out. The election of 2010 put paid to that notion and they had no choice to go ahead and enact reforms.

They have a collapsing economy and no younger generation of true believers to follow in their footsteps. So Fidel is making his retirement official. Raul stays in charge but he must be worried sick about being retired Saddam/Ceausescu fashion. The laying off of a million government workers with no economy to absorb them seems obviously suicidal.

Shame Jorge Canosa missed this.

[I still care]

I heard that they had a big vote, changed the heads of a lot of departments and committees. Stepping down on the socialism. Perhaps they are hearing Obama making mewing noises over here, and think this might be the time to sound more democratic.

In any case, a shakeup is going on.

How soon until Obama claims credit?

[JRios1968]

The stench of the corpse is getting too much after 4 years?

[Caipirabob]

He realizes that there’s no commie like Obamie?

[FreedomPoster]

I had really hoped to see him Ceauşescued.

When Castro meets his maker, expect the American left to mourn Fidel more than they ever did Reagan or Pope John Paul 2.

MSNBC will have wall to wall coverage of Fidel’s funeral with the obligatory interviews with Oliver Stone and other lefties.

Maybe our fake president can go down there and be the little
dictator he really wants to be. :)

*He's gone, Jim.*

[theDentist]

Perhaps his illness is back with the vengeance of a capitalist?

What is his illness? Did they ever say?

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Obama will be hand fisting Raul soon and open Cuba so he can get more votes.

[rcrngroup]

I hope he gets the same brand of inhuman justice that he inflicted on millions of others.... RAT bastard commie!

[dfwgator]

Dog and Pony show, nothing will happen in Cuba without Fidel’s approval.

[Windflier]

He stepped down again? What is this - an annual ritual?

[pgkdan]

Geez...isn’t this worthles POS ever going to die?
