Venezuela's Hugo Chavez: "I Would Vote For Obama, Because Obama Would Vote For Chavez"
Obama may want to throw this one in the unsolicited communist dictator endorsement pile. From CNN: "President Barack Obama received one endorsement he definitely did not ask for Monday: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. The leftist leader and strong man, who has used strong anti-United States language in his political rallies and official speeches, told state-owned VTV, "In the point of view of his politics, if I were voting, I would vote for Obama and I believe that if Obama was from Caracas, he would vote for Chavez." Whatever one says or thinks about the Caracas head guy who recently is quoted as saying that "perhaps Mars had life at one time but then evil capitalism showed up and finished the planet off" (and Mars didn't build that life he forgot to add) or his foray into US elections, where he now shares the view of socialist Europe, he sure knows a gold bar in the local safe is worth two in the LBMA vaults in London.
More:
"I am positive, Obama is a good guy," said the Venezuelan president, who has led his country since 1999 but is facing his strongest challenge in years. The outspoken, socialist leader is predicted to win a sweeping victory.
Chavez became well known for using strong anti-American rhetoric against former President George W. Bush, whom he called a "devil" and also referred to as a drunk.
Things seemed to be changing in 2009, when Chavez and Obama met during the Summit of the Americas. The two leaders shook hands and Chavez presented Obama with the book "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent."
Chavez spoke highly of a newly elected Obama during a rambling speech at the U.N. General Assembly, calling Obama an "intelligent man" and compared him to President John F. Kennedy.
Since then, however, Chavez has largely backed off his kinder approach to the American president, calling Obama a "great disappointment" in an interview with CNN en Español's Juan Carlos Lopez in 2010.
Perhaps this is sincere... Perhaps it is all just a reverse communist ploy: just like the "Evil Empire" was destroyed after it spent itself into oblivion in the great US arms race, so the communist world will have the last laugh as it is now America's turn to add another $8 trillion in debt in the next 4 years (incidentally, irrelevant of who is president).

He is a pos.

You're talking about Obama...right?
I like my one-term presidents like I like my coffee: black and raised in Indonesia.
Chavez needs his gold back so he can plate the urinals in the socialist paradise since money will become worthless. On second thought, money's becoming worthless in the capitalist paradise as well.
And cultivated in a Choomwagon
Goddamned brown skinned South Americans are always taunting us. How much of this are we supposed to take?!?!?!?!?
"Obama may want to throw this one in the unsolicited communist dictator endorsement pile"
What makes you so sure this was unsolicited? Have you seen the obama supporter's in their Che Guevara attire?
Obama EPA Honors Che Guevara (the terrorist)
Guevara was Fidel Castro’s right-hand-man, thought to be personally responsible for scores of murders carried out in the name of Castro and the revolution.
THE REAL CHE GUEVARA

But he has that neat little hat and college kids like him, what could go wrong?
Are Sean Penn & Oliver Stone in Venezula campaigning for Chavez...???
Seems like a worthy cause...
Indeed and while we're at it we might as well intern and reeducate those who believe in sound money and free markets, for they must be blind to not see that it is Keynesianism that is clearly saving the world.
You have to give a hat tip to Chavez for bringing Venezuela's gold back home. Maybe not so good for the citizens of Venezuela, but smart of Chavez.
I bet they are drilling for tungsten as we type. They sold out of high speed drills in HD Caracas
What they really need is a Bat-Phone, maybe Batman can sort out the mess in DC
What's all this talk about "voting"?
I would vote for Obama or Romney or Chavez......but does it really fucking matter
CNN should check with Castro too while they're at it.
Chavez is doing standup now?
birds of a feather
More like circle jerk
reacharound quid pro quo
yup saw this the other day... consider that we could forget about the middle east and either become friends with Hugo's oil (Obama) or do more coups, CIA attacks to gain the oil (Romney?)
but there are huge bets on the zionist GOP front pushing Romney into war in Iran and Obama is sucked into this as well... can they just give up or will they keep pushing hell bent no matter the consequences?
"Zionist GOP"?
Yup, rednecks love them a good jew (hunt)
yeah-BOTH parties are Zionists-I AM a redneck and I approve this message.
zionists are jews, not all jews are zionists......please understand the difference so that rednecks dont run down the jews who dont support the neocon netanyahu.............
You're asking a lot....
5880... go read up on Sheldon Adelson and also go back to Yahoo kneejerk comment boards, kthxbye
Will that "bloated chupacabra" die already!
Chavez is neither communist or a dictator.
People that get elected in free elections are not dictators by definition.
Elections..... right.....
Chavez stuffs the ballot box idiot.
yeah-cuz here in the USofA we get to choose between candidiates with HUGE differences in governing-dumbass
"free elections" - now that's funny!
They are never free. They were bought and paid for, fair and square...
So Chavez must not be a Person then? Got it.
"It's not the people who vote that count. It's the people who count the votes."
Josef Stalin
Diebold machines eliminate that pesky "counting" of votes
You must have a small penis. What's with all the bold on ZH today?
Thats why the US does not allow in foreign election monitors, because they may find what a crock the US elctions are, with those Diebold machines, judges who stop the counting, people removed from the electon rolls "accidentally". Chavez was elected six times with those very foreign monitors, the press completely aganst him and US money payng to support the opposition (just imagine if Venezuela was openly supporting US groups with money!).
I dont like the guy personally but I do like to deal with facts. A bit like global warming, which is a fact unless you believe the earth was created 6,000 years ago or watch too much Alex Jones.
You mean like Saddam Hussein? He won 100% of the popular vote, ya know!
OT:

Like Chris Hedges said about Camden, NJ------Food desert. Coming to a city near you.
Think I'd rather have Chavez.At least he's competent at what he does,even if
its the wrong thing.
"The outspoken, socialist leader is predicted to win a sweeping victory"
His ballot boxes are like US Treasury accounts. Just add 0's.... wait, which president are we talking about again?
hugo chavez owns
Mr. Chavez is invited to fornicate himself with a sharp, rusty farm implement.
This will somehow be spun as an endorsement by Cesar Chavez.
No, this will spin around to be an endorsement of Gary Johnson.
Chavez by ma sell pone!!
If it isn't creepy warmonger apartheid-state Netanyahu constantly inserting himself in the American election showing support for swindler-friendly Romney, we've got a dark dictator in Venezuela rooting for Obama. Tell me again why Ron Paul was a bad choice?
Because you've only seen 1/10th of his crazy
right, because any attempt to return to anything "honest", like sound money, actually is crazy when fraud is the fucking status quo.
stupid fucking sheep.
Why doesn't the MSM just dress a hobo up in a suit, call him Renn Paula, script him to rape a nun, and then beat him senseless during Monday Night Football?
Because he didn't dress in $2000 suits. Because he wasn't professionally groomed. Because his voice needed a makeover. He tended to slouch.
His speech patterns were somewhat annoying.
THAT'S why Ron Paul didn't get elected. He WAS the man for the job. He failed to LOOK like it, that's all.
Exactly. You would never know from the way he dressed or behaved that he was an MD, although by all accounts a fine one.
Ron always refused to be fakaroozy. Hard to criticize a man for that.
Americans will get the President that Americans deserve.
True, but unfortunately the world will suffer for it.
Don't forget the Eurocrats giving their endorsement.
Paul may not be a bad choice, but he's not acceptable to the Republican party, so it's not like he's ever had a chance.
The very definition of chum for the shark tank.....
Funny how fascists stick together like that.
I think Michelle and Barack Hussein would make stellar Venezuelans
Soon , very soon, please.
They'll need SOMEWHERE to hide out for the rest of their lives after his 'presidency'.
He'll be hated by billions.
Benetton ad coming true.
Chavez has no right to endorse our dictator. Obama 2012,2016, etc. /sarc for you that vote for him.
I wonder how he feels about Bloomberg?
Romney has something to do with this endorsement.
Right. for all the bluster, Venezuela is still feeding US refineries with blood I mean light sweet crude.
But we'll hear plenty about the axis of evil, human rights, "die you amedican dogs!", etc.
I wonder how many senators hit the very clean Bogota whoretowers on those vacations we all pay for.
Damn Skippy! Takes one to know one, I guess...
FORWARD SOVIET!
What is the point of this article?
Obama sucks 'cause that other guy who sucks said he'd support him.
hahahahahahhahaha!
ROFL!
That startled me...I'm glad I'm finished with lunch.
So... if Hugo loses his election, will he be Barry's new "Body Man?"
Chavez seems to be much better informed than the average American voter, he must have looked at Barry Soetoro's history and saw something he liked.
Of course Chavez likes Obama - the price of Oil doubles every 3 years with Obama in charge. All Oil dicktators love stupid presidents in the White House who are helplessly over their head. Its good for the Dicktator business.
If I help him , he gonna help me.
Retail gas prices hit daily record for 6 straight weeks. AAA source
Chavez needs an Obamaphone ASAP to be able to continue his Bromance !!
Speaking in tongue...
chavez can legally vote in this country...?! we have a foreigner as president. illegals can vote and people claimed the NWO was a tin hat conspiracy theory.
my term can't be over - i still have stuff to nationalize!
Of course he'd vote for Obama.....Obama won't bomb his ass.
Romney would though. Chavez was next on Bush/Cheney's hit list.
"Now swallow, bitch!"
H. Chavez
Putin loves him too... cause he is such a helpless douche bag...
Chavez may have said something nice a long time ago - but I don't think he has got much good to say abolut Obama now - action has been far from aligned to the feel good propaganda.
When I read the "Evil Empire" I was totally confused for a second and the sentence failed to make any sense, until i realized the author was referring to the USSR - I guess I am in a minority when I call the US the "Evil Empire", as I have been since at least as early as 1996.
Chavez is a great man, he is not the kind of corrupt persons you find in western countries. But this dictatorship thing is boring, but who forced him to be so ? You know it.
Chavez is a dangerous POS, but this is the first true statement out of his mouth.
Who's to say they won't actually vote for one another ... who checks voter ID's these days?
"As a matter of fact, of the 92 elections that we've monitored, I would say the election process in Venezuela is the best in the world," former President Jimmy Carter said this month at The Carter Center.
