HAVANA – Cuba's Communist Youth newspaper is showing a photo of a healthier-looking Fidel Castro talking with the visiting Ecuadorean president.
Sunday's photo in Juventud Rebelde shows the 83-year-old Castro wearing a white shirt instead of the sports apparel he has worn in recent photos. The meeting with Rafael Correa occurred Friday.

I guess Cuba’s CastroCare doesn’t have a Caskets for Clunkers program like ObamaCare does.

No proof of when that photo was taken!
Hard to believe that he went from 'death bed' status to that of a healthy looking man.
If this photo is real - we'll have to do some checking into the famous Cuban health care system!!!

Remember, Fidel was saved by health care outside Cuba. He looks better because he has his young groupies working on him.

However, considering Correa policies, present days Castro indeed is on the right of him literally and politically. Considering Obama policies..., well he is getting there.

LOL!!!!
Darnit, this is such a bummer. I was still holding on to the hope that the recently spotted Lake Worth Lagoon Monster would be officially ID'd as El Jefe's petrified corpse, washed up there by Hurricane Bill, daggumit!
