Fidel Castro - Cuban socialist leader who overthrew a dictator in 1959 and established a Marxist socialist state in Cuba (born in 1927) Castro, Fidel Castro Ruz has released another blog post, where he has criticized President Barack Obama. In a post on Cuban Web site www.cubadebate.cu entitled "Deciphering the Thinking of the New United States President," Castro takes Obama to task for saying that returning Guantanamo to Cuban control would depend on whether it might have even a minimal impact on U.S. defense capacities. Castro also criticizes Obama for saying that Cuba would have to make concessions first - a position Castro characterized as "demanding a change in its political system, a price Cuba has fought against paying for the last half century." Castro reiterates Cuba's position-that the base is occupied against the will of the Cuban people and "violates the most elemental principles of international law". It's within the U.S. president's power to return the base, writes Castro, and not to do so is an "act of arrogance and an abuse of his immense power against a small country." The lease on the Guantanamo naval base does not have an expiration date Expiration Date The day on which an options or futures contract is no longer valid and, therefore, ceases to exist.

Castro also attacks the statements made by Obama and Vice President Joe Biden, which, he notes, reflect a continuation of the previous administration's policy of total support for Israel. He accuses the United States of having turned Israel into an "important nuclear power".
