Fidel Castro Slams Barack Obama Over Cuba Embargo

Former Cuban president Fidel Castro openly criticized U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama following the Senator’s contention that the trade embargo currently in place with the island should remain in effect.

Castro noted that Obama appeared to be “the most advanced candidate in the presidential race,” yet failed to recognize how a continued embargo would starve the people of Cuba.

Obama recently declared that while he would continue the embargo he would ease up the restrictions placed on Cuban-Americans and allow for more travel and money to be sent to relatives. Castro called that move “propaganda for consumerism and a way of life that is unsustainable.”

Castro’s opinions were published in a column of the state run newspaper. Just three days earlier Castro had praised Obama for his willingness to meet with his brother, current Cuban President Raul Castro.
