Leftist Dictators of Central and South America Sing Praise For Obama

What a difference one President can make, huh? The new American President, Barack Obama, has single-handedly transformed a hostile group of Central and South American leftist dictators into a collection of Obama fans and it appears we should have harmony throughout the hemispheres here in a matter of weeks! Haha. Actually, what we have seen at the Summit of the Americas is how the most powerful nation, the leader of the hemisphere can simply bow down to the radicals, the violent ones and create an atmosphere of hope for those dictators that they will finally reach their goal of pushing America around. Here's some of the details of the debaucle from Breitbart:

"I think President Obama is an intelligent man, compared to the previous U.S. president," Chavez told reporters during the summit of 34 nations.

Okay, let me translate that for you all: Chavez is saying...." I think President Obama is a weak, spineless leader who understands that America is the evil in this hemisphere compared to the former President who insisted that we do away with our murder, torture and oppression of our own people. I suspect we should own this new President's ass in a matter of months."

More from the article:

Even Nicaragua President Daniel Ortega, a critic of U.S. policy, said he found Obama receptive to dealing with the issues raised. Ortega said Obama "is the president of an empire" that has rules the president cannot change. Nevertheless, Ortega said: "I want to believe that he's inclined, that he's got the will."

So, there we have it - two dictators that have finally found that their constant slander of America, their support of world terrorists is going to pay dividends with this new American President that puts world perceptions before the safety and integrity of the American people.

Summit ending on hopeful note for President Obama

President Barack Obama wrapped up a summit with other leaders in the Western Hemisphere on Sunday the same way he began it: Pledging to reshape the image of the U.S. as an equal partner in addressing problems throughout the region.
"I look forward to hearing more about how the United States can be an effective partner," Obama said before discussing the economic crisis, trade, security and immigration with leaders from Central American nations.

At the Summit of the Americas on the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago, the president was hopeful that he'd boosted the image of the U.S. among its friends in the region—and perhaps even made some new ones. Among those seemingly charmed by the president's promise of a new partnership was Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, the fiery leftist who famously likened former President George W. Bush to the devil.
After several friendly encounters with Obama, Chavez approached Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton about restoring normal diplomatic ties. The two countries expelled each others' envoys last September.
"I think President Obama is an intelligent man, compared to the previous U.S. president," Chavez told reporters during the summit of 34 nations.
Obama also was hopeful about Cuba's offer of comprehensive talks, which followed Obama's move to ease some travel and remittance restrictions. The White House has said it wants to see immediate action from the Cuban leadership, including increased press freedoms and the release political prisoners.
The Cuban Commission for Human Rights and Reconciliation lists 205 political prisoners on the island. Castro has offered to send them all and their families to the United States in exchange for five Cubans serving long U.S. sentences on espionage charges.
Back in Washington, both Democrats and Republicans said Sunday that they wanted to see actions, not just rhetoric, from Cuba.
"Release the prisoners and we'll talk to you. ... Put up or shut up," said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.
"I think we're taking the right steps, and I think the ball is now clearly in Cuba's court," said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. "They need to respond and say what they're willing to do."

Chavez Calls On Russia To Protect Venezuela From The United States

With each passing day, Hugo Chavez sinks deeper into his psychosis. This guy is nothing short of bonkers. Chavez travelled to Russia on a shopping spree for defense weapons when he came up with the latest brainstorms, portrayed here at Breitbart:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on Tuesday for a strategic alliance with Russia to protect the South American country from the United States.
Chavez is expected to reach a number of agreements for purchasing military hardware while in Russia, according to Russian news media reports. One newspaper reported that the deals could be worth up to $2 billion.
"That way we can guarantee Venezuela's sovereignty, which is now threatened by the United States," Chavez was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying.

Now, I don't know if the new Russian President was just being polite or if he really needs the Venezuelan cash that bad but he stated:

While welcoming Chavez at his castle resort in the Moscow region, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Russian-Venezuelan relations "are one of the key factor of security in the (South American) region."

Chavez is and has always been more paranoid than a crack addict living next to a police station and it obviously is getting worse. I guess that's what happens when you run a dictatorship in the middle of democratically run countries. Perhaps that's why Chavez has to travel to the other end of the world to try and find an ally.

Either way, Chavez would sign a pact with the devil if he thought it would keep him in power for another decade. My prediction stands in that I see Chavez taken out of power within two years - not by the Americans, but by his own people.

Chavez says Venezuela needs Russia for protection

MEIENDORF CASTLE, Russia (AP) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called on Tuesday for a strategic alliance with Russia to protect the South American country from the United States.
Chavez is expected to reach a number of agreements for purchasing military hardware while in Russia, according to Russian news media reports. One newspaper reported that the deals could be worth up to $2 billion.
"That way we can guarantee Venezuela's sovereignty, which is now threatened by the United States," Chavez was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying.
While welcoming Chavez at his castle resort in the Moscow region, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said Russian-Venezuelan relations "are one of the key factor of security in the (South American) region."
Medvedev and Chavez are meeting for the first time since Medvedev became president in May. Chavez also will meet with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and Russian military and business leaders, Chavez spokesman Tomas Ramirez said.
Russia's daily Kommersant reported Tuesday that Chavez is looking to order up to $2 billion worth of Ilyushin jets, diesel-powered submarines, TOR-M1 air defense systems and possibly tanks.
Rosoboronexport, Russia's state-owned arms trader, declined to comment on potential deals.
"We want peace, but we are forced to strengthen our defense," Chavez said when asked about the potential deals.
Venezuela, which spent $4 billion on international arms purchases between 2005 and 2007, mostly from Russia and China, has a defense budget of $2.6 billion, according to the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies.
The U.S. stopped supplying arms to Venezuela in 2006.
Chavez also wants to discuss the possibility of creating a joint bank, according to Alexis Navarro, Venezuela's ambassador to Moscow.
In addition, the two sides are expected to discuss three energy deals involving three Russian companies—Gazprom, Lukoil, and TNK-BP—and Venezuela's state-run oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA, the Kremlin said.
Lukoil is already helping Venezuela quantify heavy crude oil deposits in its Orinoco River basin—one of the world's largest petroleum deposits. Russia's Gazprom has two natural gas exploration and production licenses in Venezuela.
Commercial trade between Venezuela and Russia reached $1.1 billion last year, up more than 200 percent from the $517 million in trade during 2006, according to statistics cited by Venezuela's state-run news agency.

Chavez Threatens To Cut Off U.S. Oil

Once again, I repeat: "Hugo, We Have A Problem!"

Venezuela's Henchman with a Title, Hugo Chavez has threatened to cut off oil exports to the U.S. if constitutional changes are not passed. I think Hugo believes that the U.S. has masterminded a plan to foil his installation as Dictator for the next century.

I don't know if anyone else has noticed that Citgo gas stations in the U.S. are changing over to new stations (like Marathon and Conoco) faster than Hillary Clinton will change positions on an issue, but this is exactly the reason why. Citgo is a subsidiary of Venezuela's oil industry and now, you have this idiot calling for a potential cut in oil exports to HIS OWN GAS STATIONS!

Guy's a fool.

Read about it here.

CARACAS, Venezuela (CNN) -- President Hugo Chavez on Friday wrapped up his
campaign to push through broad constitutional changes with a broadside attack
against adversaries at home and abroad -- including a threat to cut off oil
exports to the United States.

Chavez told a crowd gathered in the center of Caracas that if the
referendum was approved and the result was questioned -- "if the 'yes' vote wins
on Sunday and the Venezuelan oligarchy, playing the [U.S.] empire's game, comes
with their little stories of fraud" -- then he would order oil shipments to the
United States halted Monday.
Chavez spoke after tens of thousands, brought on
buses from throughout the country, marched down the capital's principal
boulevard to rally support for Sunday's referendum, which would free Chavez from
term-limit restrictions and move the country toward institutionalized
socialism.
Friday's rally acted as a counterpoint to an opposition march down
the same streets Thursday that brought out tens of thousands who fear the 69
constitutional changes would serve to undermine basic democratic freedoms
