All I wish to express as a former Cuban exile, Barack Obama and Fidel Castro share many personality traits, ie:
--Both were abandoned by their fathers at an early age.
--Both are charming, elocuent lawyers that say exactly what people want to hear at the right time and place.
--One never led the nation to suspect he was a communist at heart, the other doesnt mention the word socialism when in reality this is exactly what his agenda stands for.
--Neither Obama nor Fidel ever held a real job either in government or in private enterprise for they think of themselves as demigods unworthy of soiling their hands when their destiny is much larger than their own realities.
--Both were virtually unknown until they began to use the word "change" as their main political motto.
--Both have egos as tall as the twin towers, yet they manage to present themselves humbly, one in soiled military fatigues and the other sweating and with an undone tie.
--Both have the unique ability to distort truth and lies as if they were the same.
--Both have the ability to hypnotize the ignorant and fool the wishful thinker and to divide a nation in classes, (divide and you shall win) In Fidel's case he divided the rich against the poor, the illiterate against the educated and the black against the white.
In Obama's case even if by omission, he's de-facto dividing the races already.
--Another resemblance between Obama and Fidel and one that shall never be forgotten is that the American media supported the "Twentieth Century Latin American Liberator" (Time Magazine) with the same degree of irresponsibility devoted to Barack Obama today.
--And lastly I'll use the words of Jorge Santayana to finish my case in point: "Those who can't remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
And in the words of Sir Winston Churchill: "The inherent vice of Capitalism is the unequal distribution of blessings, the inherent vice of Socialism is the equal distribution of misery.
GOD SAVE AMERICA!

Well, you know, there are people out there who would see that comparison as a good thing, a plus for Obama. So many people are deluded about the "greatness" of Castro, even today. I actually got this the other day from one of my more liberal friends in an email. Some are seeing past the wool, at least.   IP: Logged |

..you also don't put new wine in old bottle because the bottle breaks and the wine runneth out - Yeshua There is tremendous wisdom from Jesus here. He says every revolution fails after it is over. Russia and China are examples. People think revolution brings freedom. It only appears so. Deep down every revolution beings slavery. It does not lead to individual freedom. But remember his followers were not interested in the world. They have come to him frustrated from the world. Therefore those practicing "in the world but not of it" have something to learn here : don't be revolutionaries. Be rebels at first. Individual freedom works better than having than being in group revolutions. Change yourself first rather than changing the world.
