Don't get me wrong here I hate Obama and Chavez, but he president should meet with the world leaders, I mean Richard Nixon met up with Mao and now china is our biggest tradeng partner, of corse Obama's most likely to stupid to do something like that
loving chavez cause he says the truth america,,is strange anyone that doesnt agree with america ,gets judge ,,freedom of speech my ass..other cousntries are more free then america,,i live in california and shame of it ..love chavez ideas ,,way better then your senate and the richer getting richer and pay high fuel prices when america has there own reserveds just by saying they dont want to use it ,its cause bush family and oil com...making billions out of poor tax paying americans.
@Markonnett. Actually u r distorting the facts. Yes he was elected ten years ago but he hasnt prolonged his term illegally as u claim. He has been legitimatly reelected 8 times. And yes being reelected so many times isnt the american way but lets be fair not all countries have a cap on the amount of times u can be relected and not having that cap doesnt immediatly mean a country is a harsh dictatorship. I mean here in britain u can rule as long as u keep getting voted in.
@igorGojkic ww2 = corrupt money making scandal why would any honest person that knows the truth want to partake in murder for gain. It takes a stronger man to fight the temptation of doing wrong than cowards that kill the weak
Chávez = DEDOCRACIA! DESPIERTA VENEZUELA, a liberarnos de este Sindrome de indiferencia dócilmente adquirido. Por qué? discriminación política (lista de tascon ver youtube), corrupción (caso maletin PDVSA la empresa petrolera estatal), la inflación más alta de latinoamérica, polarización, criminalidad, concentración de poder, no separación de poderes, etc.
bush should be arested , he's a war criminal, he's just like hitler, and harry s truman, criminals killing innocent people droping bomb's on innocent people!!!!!!!!!! every one knows 911 was an inside job!!!!!!!!
@jdohe The most damaging thing to the US are those ignorant people living there, of course not all and the bad thing not only to the US but to many many countries as well!
John Kricfalusi, how do you figure BUSH is the worst president in USA history. Im sure you ask some of them old vietnam war era guys, and NIXON takes that awarded. Some people think that Lincoln was the worst because he was a liar, or how Kennedy backed out of the bay of pigs and let those men die that he promisd to help. Or maybe how JOHNSON sent us to vietnam were more men had died than in Iraq.
comparisons in general and especially nazi-comparisons are very inadequate in a decent discussion. i don't want to say that the strategy of appeasement is always a good way - certainly not - but "preventive wars" and "precision-cluster-bombs" are no solutions at all.
I did not see the big deal here. All they really did was shake hands and say "Hi, how ya doin?" Bush shook hands with Chirac a number of times, and the two of them obviously could not stand each other.
The melding of the United States into the world government continues apace at the Latin American Summit. Obama is offering Cuba a "new beginning" and exchanging Masonic handshakes with Chavez of Venezuela. None of this should be a surprise. Obama, Chavez and Castro are all Freemasons and Communists, and the New World Order is Masonic and Communist
Viva el Comandante Chavez, Bush nunca pudo con él ni ningun lamebotas del mundo, finalmente Obama entendió que Chavez solo desea trato igual para cualquier pais y el mundo entendió que no es un dictador pues ¿Qué dictador ama un pueblo que lo elige democráticamente y que hay tanta democracia que cualquier medio dice lo que desee y Chavez no le hace nada, solo por creer en una libertad de expresión que es mal entendida por dichos medios? Aquí en Venezuela la mayoría ama a Chavez
"Sheesh.. it's not like he was awarded the Presidency by the Supreme Court like Bush was." I'm not sure what this has to do with our money being stolen, but I guess when you get tired of talking about bush you notice the robbery going on.
Señor Obama, no se porque pero en su mirada puedo apreciar una verdadera sinceridad y justicia para los que no tienen nada. Usted, es la esperanza mundial para que este planeta no se lo lleve el carajo. Reciba un saludo desde la Ciudad de México.

Chavez is overwhemingly popular throughout Latino America, one big reason is that he has brought dignity back to us, he has drawn the line in the sand and stood up to the US- with the exception of colombia, South America has declared its soverignty and the people have democratically elected governements that truly represent the masses (brazil, bolivia, paraguya, nicaragua, argentina......)- the USA needs to come to terms with the fact that we are no longer there back-yard and look us in the eye
well Uribe is massively popular in Colombia as well. Don't get me wrong, I don't support him, but he did bring a semblance of order to a chronically ungovernable and war ravaged country.
Yes I understand at what cost, but just clarifying your point.
I dont see President Obama defending Chavez as the right would like you to believe, its obvious Repb. do want the United States to be attacked again just so they can bad mouth the President.
How come every single thing Obama does is wrong every little thing they nitpic, saying. Up untill Obama won the election Republicans praised US Soldiers evey chance they got really!
Now bashing Obama is there agenda.
Sup.Court and Free Choice under atttack by right is there real agenda.
Chavez is a dictator, don't be fooled by sean penn. This is a dictator,ask his own people. It's hard to believe that people are defending this rat. Now I see how people fell for Hitler.
@COLOMBIANO8891 Did you know that Hitler wasnt elected as Dictator ? And to compare Chavez with Hitler is ridiculous! Chavez is better than anyone before him, but guess what it need time and people might not understand it because they got used to live in shit!
@RaptorN1 You live in the U.S, well kid you have no idea what are you talking about, this guy Hugo Chavez is considered a dictator not just in the USA, other countries considerated him as a Dictator, you should be happy living in the USA, because in the USA you can say anything you want about the goverment and nobody cares, but if you go to venezuela and you insult Hugo chavez or his goverment , you will go to jail, that is the kind of democracy that venezuela has right now.
@Markonnett no se ha mantenido en el poder por desicion de el sino de pueblo venezolano, asi que no es un dictador!, en EEUU solo hay democracia para "votar" por un colegio electoral, ni siquiera eligen al presidente!!! a otra cosa las "democracias" mas fuertes del mundo el presidente permanece en el poder por mucho tiempo, España, Inglaterra, Italia, Francia, Rusia, Holanda, y pare de contar
@Alkebulan32 Well ..first of all if you still believe that your vote counts and that elections are not rigged, you're not aware of the polotics' reality. Second, he was elected and he promised a lot of things that then he turned his back to a lot of people. In other words, he lied shamelessly. Then, if you follow his policies and the way he expresses himself you'll notice that he's a dictator and a communist, following the advise of his dear friend Fidel Castro.
@JohnLennon100 In August 2007, Hugo Chavez proposed changes to Venezuela's constitution, including an end to Presidential term limits. In Dec 2007, his changes were DEFEATED in a public referendum with 51% of the voters rejecting the amendments. Dictators do not put their proposed changes to a public vote, and then respect the results.. I think we're done here...
@Alkebulan32 No,we're not done just because you state a single fact doesn't mean you have a solid proof that he's not a dictator.First of all, I would like to say to all people non venezuelan that support chavez to stop talking about theories and go to Venezuela and spend 30 days there to check the truth.The reason he didn't win thereferendum was because his own people didn't back up the manipulations of the results. Why?Because even people who are working for him know they will lose their loot
@Alkebulan32 I invite you to see the videos of his speeches before he was elected president and 2 years after.Look at his allies:Castro,Ghadafi, Hussein, etc. Look at the way he expresses himself, look how he has destroyed the venezulean economy,look how his family has pillaged millions and millions of dollars and an they keep doing it, systematically, no shame.We have had bad governments but this is by far the worst of all.And please understand you're not venezuelan to be so certain of things
@Alkebulan32 You're bolivian ....probably you think Evo Morales is the best thing ever happened to you country, right? ...I don't know about your country but you should keep to your business. I bet Bolivia need you more than Venezuela ...
@JohnLennon100 You seem to not understand the definition of a dictator.. you may not like his policies, but he does not wield absolute power (one of the main characteristics of a dictator). Please read the definition of a dictator, your hatred for Chavez does not change the fact that your government is NOT a dictatorship.
P.S If Chavez is so bad, then stop wasting your time trolling on Youtube and go out in the streets and protest like the North Africans and Arabs are doing! Now I'm done..
@Alkebulan32 Again, stick to your country, Bolivia Named after Simon Bolivar, a Venezulean Heroe, and refrain your opinions to yourself and let Venezuelan discuss about our politics. Stop believing that you knopw the truth about a country you only hear news on the TV. I'm not wasting my time, I'm just enjoying myself telling you to go fuck off and stop messing in other people's businesses. Ignorance is bold ...
@Alkebulan32 When people call him a dictator, they're referring to his attempts at consolidating power, by nationalizing industry, revoking broadcasting licences for his opponents, attempting to eliminate presidential term limits, arming his militant leftist supporters, appropriating land, and etc.
You can tell when a person has no true respect or perhaps understanding of democracy when they describe democracy as consisting of elections only, like you've just done.
God bless Venezuela and God bless the United States... In the end, it is one continent and a very powerful one in natural resources... With all the problems we currently have in America it appears like if those days of policing, intervining, meddling, bombing, plotting, invading, etc, etc, etc, are likely over... It is a multipolar world too so get over it... Let Presidents Chavez and Obama deal with their respective full agendas, please...
I have lived in Venezuela. Chavez is a dictator. He has centralized all of the power of his government in his own hands. He and Chavez no son tan diferentes. They are not that different from an ideological perspective. We are screwed.
Guys , you need to travel more and stuy the real world, not in the fron of a television that tells you what to think. Chavez said many times in the past that he believes that american people haves an historic responsability, to have a good leader that brings the hole world to a new era of understanding....search for those videos are some on internet
Man get the fuck out of here.....I have to ask the question...WHO IN THE HELL DO YOU WHITE AMERICANS THINK YOU ARE? Do you think you are better than all? Nobody is gonna fuck with us...I fought in Iraq in the summers of 03 and 04...THIS WORLD KNOWS THAT THEY CAN NOT KICK OUR ASS! BUSHS WAY DID NOT WORK!!! Give this President a chance! You can now see other nations wanting to work WITH us! President Obama isn't weak. Was bush was strong?? Look at the SHIT he has us in. Open ur eyes!!
Opino igual que azhar6681, como dicen que Colombia es un regimen brutal, seran tambien tan estupidos con las ongs de europa que creen que la guerrilla es robin hood.
WWJD??? How do you think Jesus would greet Chavez??? Im sure it would be something like a handshake or even a hug...Barack is not his judge and he can still be friendly to someone he might not see eye to eye with...Love your enemies...HELLLOO!!!
Y en que barrio de caracas vives tu?, que tan democratico puede ser un presidente que despues de ser rechazada su propuesta de reforma constitucional, ha sido impuesta a traves de vias ilegles, como es que a pesar de existir un estado federal descentralizado se han impuesto vicepresidentes regionales elegidos a dedo, como es que se le han quitado las competencias regionales sobre aeropuertos a gobernaciones expresadas en la carta magna, explicame donde esta lo democratico y aprende a escribir.
Obama is the wimpiest Black guy I have ever seen - soft like a grape ... maybe Larry Sinclair, and Donald Young were right ... maybe he's a closet queer.
We need to stop elevating dictators to the level of the president of the United States and giving them justification for their rhetoric & their actions! On top of this we have a bow to the Saudi King, a reach out to Iran despite the fact of a threat of a nuclear weapon. He has made life easier for the Castro dictatorship in Cuba. This is a terrible signal to all of Latin America!
So you bash Chavez but support the Saudi King who's regime is ten times more brutal than Cuba or Venezuela? You also forget the US is friends with much more brutal regimes in Egypt, Jordan and Colombia.
So you consider labor leaders, social activists and indigenous leaders terrorists? Sad, very sad. Another example of how some people still support Pinochet-style fascism for Colombia. FARC is not a good organization, but Uribe has no credibility when most of his allies are in jail for supporting death squads.
Why are you using hateful, aggressive and negative language? You may not agree with something or someone but to swear and be aggressive is not helpful and really depressing. I come from Australia and I feel relived that world leaders are trying to communicate using positive language and actions. After 10 years of Bush, our planet is in major crisis. Please try to see hope in these meetings. We are a global community. We need to work together to solve global issues.
If Obama gets close with a totalitarian like Chavez that is a problem. Especially that Chavez has that twisted habit of spreading diabolical socialism communism around the world like Fidel Castro.
One IDIOT shakes another IDIOTS hand. And our IDIOT bows to another IDIOT. Our IDIOT hung out with a TERRORIST and goes to church of a RACIST minister!!! What do you expect from a left-wing LOON!! Just goes to show everyone that you can LIE LIE LIE LIE and be our IDIOT president.
the world was laughing at the USA under bush- Obamas overtures to democratically eleteced PRESIDENTS like Hugo Chavez have given the US a little of the respect is lost during the bushie era- most americans are ignorant to the fact that the bush administration supported and recognized the junta that tried to overthrow not only Chavez, but that tried to dismantle the Venezuelian congress and supreme court, in other words they tried to implement a dictatorship- Latin America applauds Obama
No the world was scared of us under Bush. They knew not to fuck with us! Now they're laughing at us! They see how weak BO IS! Thx W for keeping us safe!
Damm I thought I was embarassed to be represented by Bill Clinton. I'd take him any day over BO! The whole damm world is laughing at us! Name one Leader of their country that goes to other country's and blames their own country for everything! BO . Let's see he bends over backwards to not offend Muslims, was very proud of his middle name. He pretty much denounced god! I VOTED FOR THIS SOB! I'm SORRY!!
it amazes me the level of ignorance in the USA- Chavez is the first truly democratically elected in Venezuela in over 40 years, and hes won all three of his elections with over 60% of the vote, the poor (masses) love him, he is an elected PRESIDENT- the bush administration and those who follow him continue to call Chavez a dictator while at the same time they were calling a real dictator (musharoff) president- its crazy how people call up down and down up to justify there own crazy views-
Good I welcome the movement ! Most of America voted for that movement and its here to stay! We'll never let you morons(republicans) back the White house!
i have many shortcomings but not knowing what fascism is is not one of them. a form of socialism. it is a totalitarian system were the government controls, but does not necessarily owns, all aspects of buisness. this is precisely what obama is attempting to do. therfor obama fits the fascist profile perfectly. ALL forms of totalitarian governments fall on the left end of the political spectrum. perhaps if you read a book with a little more depth than the dictionary you would'nt be so ignorant
Yea, give him time. That is what the Germans said about Hitler, The Italians about Benito Mussolini. Even the Russians loved Stalin, AT FIRST. The Cuban People Loved the Castro brothers, at first. Chavez made promises to his people and Obama made the same promises to "his" supporters. What does it take, his goon squad busting You up side the head? Get you head out of his ass, before you get it chopped off.
Read my post again didyoulisten, it was a response to an earlier post proclaiming Obama the greatest.
"Obama is the GREATEST President in American History? Are you kidding? I'll tell you what you Libtards tell everyone else, give him time."
Did you read didyoulisten? I believe we are both making the same point. I love when BO supporters say "Give him time" & how the proclaim him the greatest when he hasn't even been in office but a handful of months & has done nothing but talk so far.
Yea agree with Eaglewatch. You right-wing idots are just jealous of your own President. Wow how stupid is that. Being jealous of your own President is like self-cannabalism.
Por ahi se ofendio uno de esos chicharacheros defendiendo al pobre imbecil de chavez que te pasa pobre ignorante estas enamorado de tu presi? ve y besale el culo chicharachero de pacotilla.
I strongly support Obama's position towards the leaders of other countries. The media in our country always lied and portrayed Hugo Chavez as someone who hated America, but the real truth is that Chavez hated Bush and Cheney (as many Americans did too).
Anyone who says that Chavez (or Castro for that matter) hates America, has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. These great leaders do not like the foreign policies of America, NOT america itself !!!
What do you recommend, bomb Venezuela? What possible good can come from Obama refusing to shake hands with Chavez? Maybe you should learn something about diplomacy. I didn't see any appeasement of any kind, only a shaking of hands.
Frankly, it's about time we heal from Bush's monstrous administration.
He looks so WEAK! If were hit again, it's all BO'S FAULT! If that happens afterwards he'll be blaming us calling us arrogant dismissive. He and his buddy can say chicken's coming home to roost. I'm almost ashamed to be an American. What happened to our great country! Were running away from god! BIG MISTAKE!!
America is gone. The bailout is a scam. Global warming is a hoax. The media is propaganda and Obama's policies are are tryanny. The Tea Party's are a courageous and noble effort however they will have no effect. There is nothing you can do about it exept remove the elected criminals from office as quickly as possible. Otherwise bend over and take it up the ass America.
Being humble doesn't mean you're WEAK. why can't just ppl accept that Bush's way never worked and just brought more conflict to the country. what Obama is doing is finding the peace this country and their ppl need. BUSH"S WHITE ASS SWEAR HE WAS DA SHxT AND DIDNT HAVE @ SPEAK @ DA LATIN GOVERNers.. OBAMA HAS NO NEED IN KISSING NO ONE'S ASS
FUCK OBAMA and The New Word Order !!

@Alkebulan32 I invite you to see the videos of his speeches before he was elected president and 2 years after.Look at his allies:Castro,Ghadafi, Hussein, etc. Look at the way he expresses himself, look how he has destroyed the venezulean economy,look how his family has pillaged millions and millions of dollars and an they keep doing it, systematically, no shame.We have had bad governments but this is by far the worst of all.And please understand you're not venezuelan to be so certain of things

@Alkebulan32 You're bolivian ....probably you think Evo Morales is the best thing ever happened to you country, right? ...I don't know about your country but you should keep to your business. I bet Bolivia need you more than Venezuela ...
JohnLennon100 11 months ago
@JohnLennon100 You seem to not understand the definition of a dictator.. you may not like his policies, but he does not wield absolute power (one of the main characteristics of a dictator). Please read the definition of a dictator, your hatred for Chavez does not change the fact that your government is NOT a dictatorship.
P.S If Chavez is so bad, then stop wasting your time trolling on Youtube and go out in the streets and protest like the North Africans and Arabs are doing! Now I'm done..
Alkebulan32 11 months ago
@Alkebulan32 Again, stick to your country, Bolivia Named after Simon Bolivar, a Venezulean Heroe, and refrain your opinions to yourself and let Venezuelan discuss about our politics. Stop believing that you knopw the truth about a country you only hear news on the TV. I'm not wasting my time, I'm just enjoying myself telling you to go fuck off and stop messing in other people's businesses. Ignorance is bold ...

@Alkebulan32 When people call him a dictator, they're referring to his attempts at consolidating power, by nationalizing industry, revoking broadcasting licences for his opponents, attempting to eliminate presidential term limits, arming his militant leftist supporters, appropriating land, and etc.
You can tell when a person has no true respect or perhaps understanding of democracy when they describe democracy as consisting of elections only, like you've just done.

God bless Venezuela and God bless the United States... In the end, it is one continent and a very powerful one in natural resources... With all the problems we currently have in America it appears like if those days of policing, intervining, meddling, bombing, plotting, invading, etc, etc, etc, are likely over... It is a multipolar world too so get over it... Let Presidents Chavez and Obama deal with their respective full agendas, please...

I have lived in Venezuela. Chavez is a dictator. He has centralized all of the power of his government in his own hands. He and Chavez no son tan diferentes. They are not that different from an ideological perspective. We are screwed.

Guys , you need to travel more and stuy the real world, not in the fron of a television that tells you what to think.

We need to stop elevating dictators to the level of the president of the United States and giving them justification for their rhetoric & their actions! On top of this we have a bow to the Saudi King, a reach out to Iran despite the fact of a threat of a nuclear weapon. He has made life easier for the Castro dictatorship in Cuba. This is a terrible signal to all of Latin America!

So you bash Chavez but support the Saudi King who's regime is ten times more brutal than Cuba or Venezuela? You also forget the US is friends with much more brutal regimes in Egypt, Jordan and Colombia.

Uribe has been the only one with the balls to fight against this fucking terrorists, and in a wonderful way, Chavez is just a dictatorial fag.

So you consider labor leaders, social activists and indigenous leaders terrorists? Sad, very sad. Another example of how some people still support Pinochet-style fascism for Colombia. FARC is not a good organization, but Uribe has no credibility when most of his allies are in jail for supporting death squads.
AndrewMann552 2 years ago
Why are you using hateful, aggressive and negative language? You may not agree with something or someone but to swear and be aggressive is not helpful and really depressing. I come from Australia and I feel relived that world leaders are trying to communicate using positive language and actions. After 10 years of Bush, our planet is in major crisis. Please try to see hope in these meetings. We are a global community. We need to work together to solve global issues.

i have many shortcomings but not knowing what fascism is is not one of them. a form of socialism. it is a totalitarian system were the government controls, but does not necessarily owns, all aspects of buisness. this is precisely what obama is attempting to do. therfor obama fits the fascist profile perfectly. ALL forms of totalitarian governments fall on the left end of the political spectrum. perhaps if you read a book with a little more depth than the dictionary you would'nt be so ignorant

I strongly support Obama's position towards the leaders of other countries. The media in our country always lied and portrayed Hugo Chavez as someone who hated America, but the real truth is that Chavez hated Bush and Cheney (as many Americans did too).
Anyone who says that Chavez (or Castro for that matter) hates America, has absolutely no idea what they are talking about. These great leaders do not like the foreign policies of America, NOT america itself !!!
