I just got the news via. Weasel Zippers that Dear Leader – Fidel Castro of Cuba has proclaimed a ringing endorsement of our Dear Leader’s, Fearless Leader-takeover of the United States medical system. Judge a man by his fans, no?

HAVANA (AP) — It perhaps was not the endorsement President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for.

Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform “a miracle” and a major victory for Obama’s presidency, but couldn’t help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.

“We consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success of his (Obama’s) government,” Castro wrote in an essay published in state media, adding that it would strengthen the president’s hand against lobbyists and “mercenaries.”

It doesn’t stop there though, or does it? Fidel Castro may think that Obamacare is ‘a miracle’ and is grinning ear to ear over his compatriate’s success but Obama still comes up short:

But the Cuban leader also used the lengthy piece to criticize the American president for his lack of leadership on climate change and immigration reform, and for his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, among many other things.

And he said it was remarkable that the most powerful country on earth took more than two centuries from its founding to approve something as basic as health benefits for all.

Hah! There’s always tomorrow for the socialist-Democrats and Obama…..
