Shady Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Venezuela Chavez says "Comrade" Obama more left-wing CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp. During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might. "Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast. AP How sad is that? Two of the most left-wing dictators in the world, joking about how they might be to the right of Obama. It would be funny if it weren't so sad and depressing.

sharkman Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 (edited) When you're getting praise from such well respected sources, then you gotta know you're doing something right. No doubt the Muslim world will bow at his feet when Obama gives his big speech tomorrow. Edited June 3, 2009 by sharkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
