Castro Steps Down
February 19th, 2008 by Evil Beet
It finally happened.
Fidel Castro has stepped down as President of Cuba.
“I will not aspire nor accept—I repeat I will not aspire or accept—the post of President of the Council of State and Commander in Chief,” said Castro.
Castro’s, Raul, 76, is expected to take his place when the National Assembly meets this Sunday.

Vivo Fidel
My family went to Cuba in 02. Fidel is like god there. The women were hot. Havana was a nice place and the countryside was beautiful, but the barrio was worst than the “hood” that I hear rappers talk about lol
a younger bro
some dynasty!
glad he exists
or else there would be no Las Vegas
his masterpiece.

I love how he says he won’t ‘accept’ it when he’s been controlling the outcome of it for almost 50 years.
finally the people are free of him
im sure his brother will continue the program put your bathing suits away
When you’re 80 and your designated successor is 76, it might be time to rethink the succession plan. Is there a little Fidel? Or a Paris Castro to reintroduce large-scale debauched American tourism?
Party in Havana, the first weekend in May.
he’s done a good job in cuba, very different but good results
i don’t belive most of his people see it as being free of him either
Holy shit! The man is older than dirt. Very wise to step down before he falls down!!
His country didn’t get swallowed up by Americans so he did a great job.
Oh, his country didn’t get swallowed by americans but a GREAT Number of his ‘countrymen and women’ risked their lives to get OUT of Cuba to come to America. Yeah, he was a SAINT… Why is everyone covering up the fact that he is/was a dictator???
Castro used his incarnation as a human being to murder and torture other humans. Too bad that what a person does on earth DEFINES without ANY REPRIEVE WHATSOEVER, the layout for his REAL life. Insects the size of house cats will forever be laying eggs in his mouth, in his ears, in his penis, while he watches in horror, helplessly, for eternity. Have fun in hell, Fidel.
