Brutal dictator and Obama fan won't defend the messiah out of fears it might hurt him

Obama gets a double-super-secret back-door endorsement. Of course, it's only a distraction, folks. Via AP/Reuters:

HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban leader Fidel Castro on Monday called Democrat Barack Obama the candidate most advanced on social issues running for U.S. president but said his speech on Cuba last week was a "formula for hunger."

In one of his periodic newspaper columns published in Communist Party newspaper Granma, Castro said he had "no personal rancor" toward Obama, but "if I defended him I would do a huge favor for his adversaries."

Che Guevara was unavailable for comment.
