Raul Castro's Daughter Endorses Obama

Daughter of current Cuban Dictator President Raul Castro and niece of former Dictator President Fidel Castro Mariela Castro endorsed President Obama for a second term on CNN last night. She believes Obama is the guy who will "normalize" relations between Cuba and the United States, saying Obama would do a better job than Carter in bringing the two countries together.

"As a citizen of the world, I would like him to win."


But it seems Castro isn't quite on the same page as her uncle Fidel when it comes to how they feel about Obama.

Under the title "The Best President for the United States," Cuba's ex-president said that if faced with a choice between Obama, a Republican rival or a robot, "90 percent of voting Americans, especially Hispanics, blacks and the growing number of the impoverished middle class, would vote for the robot."
