Castro: Obama Embargo Plan Will Cause Cubans to Go Hungry

HAVANA  — Fidel Castro criticized Sen. Barack Obama on Monday, writing that the Democratic presidential hopeful’s plan to maintain Washington’s trade embargo against Cuba will cause hunger and suffering on the island.

The ailing 81-year-old former president wrote that Obama was “the most-advanced candidate in the presidential race,” but noted that he has not dared to call for altering U.S. policy toward Cuba.

“Obama’s speech can be translated as a formula for hunger for the country,” Castro wrote in a column published by government-run newspapers, referring to remarks Obama made before the influential Cuban American National Foundation in Miami last week.

How many countries have an embargo on Cuba? Is it just the US? and if so how does this make Cubans go hungry?

Is Castro really still alive??? He or one of his imposters sure are trying to meddle in American politics all of a sudden - I think this is a matter of downplaying Obama to uplift him. Castro and his brother are solely responsible for hunger in Cuba the way they've run the country into the ground.


I don't know, Willow, AFAIK, only the US and Israel are still in on the embargo, not sure.

Fidel Castro: Comrades, our nation is completely bankrupt! We have no choice but to abandon communism!
Castro's Aide #1, Castro's Associates: [sigh]
Fidel Castro: I know, I know, I know... but we all knew from day one this mumbo jumbo wouldn't fly! I'll call Washington and tell them they won.
Castro's Aide #1: But presidente, America tried to kill you!
Fidel Castro: Ah, they're not so bad. They even named a street after me in San Francisco!
[Aide #2 whispers something into his ear]
Fidel Castro: It's full of what???
