July 2010: Cuba's tyrannical leader Fidel Castro made his first public outing in four years
More insults coming from an aged, dying Communist despot who has plunged Cuba into decades of abject poverty, tyranny, and despair…
From Breitbart.com, Fidel Castro: ‘robot’ better than Obama, Republicans:
Cuban revolutionary icon Fidel Castro said Monday that a “robot” would be better in the White House than President Barack Obama — or any of the Republicans candidates in the 2012 election race.
“Is it not obvious that the worst of all is the absence in the White House of a robot capable of governing the United States and preventing a war that would end the life of our species?” Castro, 85, wrote in one of the “reflections” he often publishes in Cuba’s state-controlled media.
Under the title “The Best President for the United States,” Cuba’s ex-president said that if faced with a choice between Obama, a Republican rival or a robot, “90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot.”
Obama, Castro said, is “hopelessly immersed in seeking re-election,” and “the dreams of (civil rights icon) Martin Luther King are thousands of light years further away than the nearest inhabitable planet.”
“Worse still, any of the Republican candidates for the presidency… carry with them more nuclear weapons than ideas for peace,” said Castro, alluding to several of the would-be Obama challengers who have called in particular for a stronger position against Iran, which the West says is seeking to build an atomic bomb.
Castro, who handed the reins of power to his younger brother Raul Castro in 2006, has rarely held back in his disdain for Obama.
From RT, Castro urges Americans to vote for a robot:
Is the Republican Party’s pool of contenders not leaving enough of a choice this election year? Still not sold on Obama’s promise of hope and change? Take it from Fidel Castro: vote in a robot this November.
In an op-ed published in the Cuban media this week, former President Fidel Castro says that while he is still unimpressed with the Barack Obama administration, the GOP hopefuls attempting to usurp the commander-in-chief leave Americans with a pathetic pool of options this election season and their plight might be impervious to resolve from both Republicans and Democrats.

Is Fidel Castro saying that the only way to guarantee a good future for the US is to program a robot to give orders to 300 million Americans, lest they want a commander-in-chief that will char the globe and ruin the world as we know it? Does the country really need a T-800-style Terminator to take the United States out of its turmoil? Must Americans be amendable only to a Jetson-esque android to keep a nuclear bomb from obliterating the Earth?
Maybe. But Until a robot makes the roster of potential candidates, we’ll have to see if Castro’s prediction polls correct in the states. If so, contenders this year might want to take cues from some of our solderized superiors. Perhaps President Obama might want to think of adding this quip to his re-election campaign speeches, courtesy of none other than Arthur C. Clarke’s Space Oddysey star HAL 9000:
“I know I’ve made some very poor decisions recently, but I can give you my complete assurance that my work will be back to normal. I’ve still got the greatest enthusiasm and confidence in the mission. And I want to help you.”
