A ringing endorsement

How would you react if a mass murdering communist dictator gave you a thumbs up?

"The intelligent and noble face of the first black president of the United States ... had transformed itself under the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King into a living symbol of the American dream," he wrote.

Castro praised Obama as honest, writing: "No one could doubt the sincerity of his words when he affirms that he will convert his country into a model of freedom, respect for human rights in the world and the independence of other nations."

My first reaction is that the subject's bone structure is too prominent. Seems to be a double or the image is heavily "photoshopped." However, I am not the best at this kind of stuff. Larry Daley

If you look at this photo and a photo of fidel from a few months ago, it looks like two different men. The hair is full and darker, the beard looks healthy and full in this photo, but one from several months ago, shows the hair and beard thinning quite a bit and gray. The nose doesn't look right either. I said it before, would she know if she met a double????

Thank you, perhaps it is sexist but it takes a women to see such details on an image of a man. Now if the subject had been a woman he he ...


take care and be well

No problem Larry, definately not sexist on your part. Women pay much more attention to details, and I am not being sexist either.
