Obama shakes Hugo Chavez's hand and laughs it up


President Obama has decided to ignore Hugo Chavez political oppression, support for FARC terrorists, antisemitism and past statements calling President Bush "the devil" and the U.S. imperial and racist. President Obama pledged to be equal partners with Latin American dictators; includng Chavez, Castro and Ortega. According to breitbart.com,
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - President Barack Obama extended a friendly hand to America's hemispheric neighbors on Saturday at a summit in the Caribbean where he offered a new beginning for U.S.-Cuba relations and sought out Venezuela's fiery, leftist president for a quick grip and grin.

"We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms," Obama said to loud applause. "But I pledge to you that we seek an equal partnership. There is no senior partner and junior partner in our relations."

In case anyone has forgotten. Chavez calls Bush 'the devil' in his speech at the UN G.A.


Chavez is big "buddies" with Iranian leader Ahmadinejad.

I guess you're even more outraged at Bush holding hands, dancing and kissing the Saudi Prince BP. We need to start our own tea party type thing to protest our leaders greeting foreign leaders.

I remember how pissed I was when Nixon met the Chinese and Russians. Reagan ticked me off when he met the dirty commie Gorbachev. How dare they!

I don't remember Bush bowing down to the Saudis. If you do, please leave a link.

Nice picture of Bush kissing the Saudi at the top of my site BG.

The issue of Obama shaking hands with Chavez is a non issue. Heads of state shake hands. If I was ever in the Bluegrass State and bumped into you I would shake your hand. Most likely buy you a beer also. Of course then all the left and right wing sites would get a picture and vilify us for being friendly and exhibiting manners.
