#1 Castro says he won't cling to office

I don't think there's enough Downy in Cuba to remove that cling or Febreze to remove the smell.

#6 "My basic duty is not to cling to office, nor even more so to obstruct the rise of people much younger, but to pass on experiences and ideas whose modest value arises from the exceptional era in which I lived..."
Probably trying out various lines for focus groups to gather data on for Shrillary's next campaing screech. Sounds pretty Clinton-esque to me.

#7 Fidel Castro said in a letter read on television that he would not cling to office or obstruct the rise of a new generation of leaders.
