Ailing Castro praises Obama in blog.

Yes, even Castro blogs..

Ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro continued to praise newly inaugurated U.S. President Barack Obama in a blog posted late Thursday on the Cuban Web site, Cubadebate.cu.

His post took a personal turn, saying he has decided to remove himself further from domestic affairs on the island. While saying, “I am fine,” he urged government and Communist Party leaders to do what they have to without first considering what he might have to say or the state of his health.

Castro writes that he has been going over his speeches and writings for the past 50 years before noting, “I have had the rare privilege of observing events for a very long time. I receive information and consider events calmly. I don’t expect to still have that privilege in four years when Obama winds up his first presidential term.”

Castro did say he would want either Hillary or Obama as he thought both would do great. Castro is still holding on I hope he gets a chance to talk with Obama and brings openess to Cuba with the US.
