Report: Castro says Cuban model doesn’t work

By PAUL HAVEN, Associated Press Writer Paul Haven, Associated Press Writer – Wed Sep 8, 3:18 pm ET
HAVANA – Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba’s communist economic model doesn’t work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.

The fact that things are not working efficiently on this cash-strapped Caribbean island is hardly news. Fidel’s brother Raul, the country’s president, has said the same thing repeatedly. But the blunt assessment by the father of Cuba’s 1959 revolution is sure to raise eyebrows.

Jeffrey Goldberg, a national correspondent for The Atlantic magazine, asked if Cuba’s economic system was still worth exporting to other countries, and Castro replied: “The Cuban model doesn’t even work for us anymore” Goldberg wrote Wednesday in a post on his Atlantic blog

Moderator note:this is a MSM news article based on a blog report.HOPE that’s ok!
 
Bah, they just did it wrong.

Obama will show them how to do it right.
 
Didn’t the United Nations just rate the Cuban medical system as above that of America though?

When equality is the barometer, everyone in the country gets access to their cutting edge technology, aspirin.
However, in America, not everyone can afford the cutting edge technology so America doesn’t work either.

But Obama is gonna fix that so that things are humming along as smooth as in Cuba.👍
 
Someone should tell your President what Castro said.

I still can’t get over Canada being more conservative than the US.This is helping the conservative Canadian immensely as the "undecideds"are seeing what a mess the socialists and their pinko President are creating of a beautiful,admirable and achieving country.How did this happen to you.This guy is like Louis the 14th totally out of touch with the electorate except with the “cake” he’s ramming down your throats.

In November when the democrats are wiped out of the Senate and The House he’ll be a lame duck for two years until you toss this one-termer out on his ear(imagine how many more vacations he’s going to take on YOUR dime)I don’t normally comment or criticise the political doings of my cousins to the South but how did you all get sucked in?
Why wasn’t Colin Powell begged,pleaded and cajoled into taking the the GOP nomination?

We’ll, he’s been the president for two years. And being a generous guy, I’d be willing to share him with you guys for the next two. Who knows, he may like it there so much he’d stay. Sure would miss him down here though, at least he’s not far from home. 😃
 
Okay, so if they don’t think that the Communist model is working, why don’t they change the regime???

SSSSSHHHHHHHHHHH!Not another word of that please or the Liberals will give him honorary citizenship-kick out Iggy their present leader and run him against our conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

I could however teach him to run a trapline and take him seal clubbing and show him how delicious raw seal heart is.He and his wife and kids could live in a “soddy” on the prairie with -50 degree farenheit temps and 60mph winds but blue,blue skies.I could take him moose,elk deer and bear hunting and I’m sure his Mrs. would be a quick study on gutting,skinning and butchering,

I’d even show him the Canadian sports of lacrosse and hockey where the number one object of the game is to decapitate or comatize your oponent.I’d give him a few pups to get his dog team started.

I take it he never served in the Armed Forces,well all newcomers to Canada are sent to the Arctic(WHICH WE OWN)to act as Northern Rangers with the Inuit.Their diet is quite interesting-walrus,polar bear,the odd slow dog and the igloos are wonderful to sleep in.It’s only for three years,he could do that standing on his head which is a game huge among the Inuit with newcomers.

Really we’d prefer that you kept him but if necessary we’ll keep him(and ourselves, highly amused)One thing we enjoy doing with newcomers is taking a highly agitated and irritated wolverine(is there any other kind) and throwing it at the newcomer after he has downed 12 or so Molson Canadians or Moosehead lagers or a bottle of Screech and saying,"think fast!"Oh what fun.Maybe you should send him here after all.

It wouldn’t work. He’d have to apologize for every body check on behalf of his team.
