Did you miss the "Obama will not be the next Castro because he does not have time on his side"?

No, the US can not turn into Cuba over the next 8 years. But it can over the next 50.

Yeah I read what you said about having time on his side, but that means you think Obama wants to create a Fidel Castro-esque state in the first place. I can assure you he wants the USA to be more like Europe and not like Cuba. If you gave him 50 years I think you would end up with Europe2.0 where private industry by far and away larger than the public industry, as opposed to socialist Cuba.

I think he wants to be a dictator. The difference in what he want the US to be and what Castro wants Cuba to be are academic.

Castro has the power to make Cuba anything he wants it to be. This is what Obama wants. What he makes it is not important. Giving a man that power, is.

I don't think Obama wants to be a Castro-esque charachter at all, I think he is much more like a timid Clement Attlee. Infinately more comparisons can be drawn to Clement Attlees' government of 1940's Britain, than it can to Fidel Castros' Cuba.
