Even vicious, reprehensible, and disgusting tyrants sometimes make wise observations. Back in 2010, for instance, Cuba’s Murderer-in-Chief 
confessed that communism didn’t work.
More recently, the thug expressed unhappiness with the current crop of presidential candidates in America. Here’s some of what he wrote.
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. …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.”
I imagine someone clever could come up with a good joke about Mitt Romney being a robot and Castro making a subliminal endorsement, but I’ll simply make the serious point that elections in the United States all too often feature two candidates who only differ in that one will expand the burden of government at a faster rate than the other.
So even though Castro’s thinking and my thinking are as different as night and day, I’m also less than thrilled about the likely options this November.
Though I’m not sure why Castro has soured on Obama. Has anything changed since 2010, when he endorsed Obamacare?

P.S. Here’s a good Jay Leno joke about Cuban and American economic policy.
