Castro: A miracle Obama is still alive
The ailing 82-year-old made the comments in a 1,200-word reflection on recent global economic problems and the contest for the White House, published by Cuban state media on Saturday night.
“Racism is deeply rooted in the United States where the mind of millions of people can hardly reconcile with the notion that a black man, with his wife and children could live in the White House, which is precisely called White. It’s a miracle that the Democratic candidate has not met the same destiny as Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and others who only a few decades ago dreamed of justice and equality.”
Castro said Republican candidate John McCain likes to enhance his reputation as a belligerent man and he was one of the worst students in his class at West Point.
“Something McCain has aplenty is age, and his health condition is not safe,” he said.
He said he highlighted this because, if McCain is elected and anything went wrong with his health, then: “the lady of the rifle, the inexperienced former [sic] governor of Alaska could be come president of the United States. It can be noticed that she does not know a thing.”
