Castro 49 and counting

To the Cuban population who reside in South Florida let's get one thing straight, Fidel Castro is not going anywhere.

This past tuesday Castro announced he would not seek re-election ( ELECTION!!!) as the leader of Cuba, paving the way for his brother Raul whom Castro appointed interim leader in 2006, to take full command... not a chance.

Fidel, until the day of his death will continue to have rule over Cuba its governmant, and people, any one who thinks not might want to read the story of Caligula. Raul is merely a puppet in which Castro knows he can use to further inflict his rule since his ailing body does not allow him the mobilty to cast his image of threat.

Unlike 2006, when rumors that Castro had died sprung mass celebration among the cuban community, people this time were more docile understanding that a changing of the tides has not yet occured. Economic reforms are not set to take place, high food prices will not drop and a Communist command will stay intact.

Word on the street in some parts of south florida are that Cubans are ready for a change, and some do see this as possibile step forward in the direction of democracy, but as is its just words. To the Cuban community keep on sipping your coffee and enjoying your croquetas the once loved Castro and his revolution are not going anywhere.
