El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)
I guess the old bastard just isn't as committed to La Revolucion as we all thought:

I guess that's why Fidel's victims only number in the thousands -what an amateur. |

i think this is more about his health, then anything else

Re: El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)
It's most likely in preparation of his funeral. He'll probably he dead any day now and wanted to make sure his brother would take over to extend his reign for a bit longer and so that he can go out on his own terms.
SO, who wants government-run healthcare? Fidel has a good plan. |

Yea, I bet he stood in line like everyone else and received the same treatment as his everyday citizens do. |
Re: El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)

President Clinton had extra medical attention too and even put in a jogging path that you paid for. I hope you were joking. |
Re: El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)
i wasn't. no one that runs any country, or has money, normally waits for anything. i wasn't picking on that moron that happens to be in the white house right now. none of presidents have to wait. i was referring to firstdown. he made it sound like a big deal that Castro doesn't have to wait for his medical attention

Re: El Presidente Resigns (Not Re-Signs)
I was laughing my ass off when I heard word "resign" yesterday cause I didn't really know a dictator could resign! Anywho, his [URL="http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/sns-ap-cuba-castro-text,1,3295710.story"]resignation letter[/URL] was even funnier:
[quote]For many years I occupied the honorable position of president. On Feb. 15, 1976, the Socialist Constitution was approved with the [B]free[/B], [B]direct[/B] and [B]secret vote[/B] of over 95 percent of [B]eligible voters[/B]. The first National Assembly was established on Dec. 2 that same year, and it elected the State Council and its presidency. Before that, I had been a prime minister for almost 18 years. I always had the necessary prerogatives to carry forward the revolutionary work with the support of the overwhelming majority of the people.[/quote] |

Just saw your post, but school is going well it is the internship search that currently is very difficult. I am looking for consulting internships and having a tough time, but hey I guess that is life. |
