Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said in a New Year's message the "illusion" around President Barack Obama was over and rich nations had left the world on the verge of ecological disaster.

Quoting from both Karl Marx and the Virgin Mary, Latin America's leading critic of U.S. power said only socialist and Christian principles could right the wrongs of capitalism.

"It's not an easy task, I acknowledge," Chavez said in a written message carried by state media on Monday.


Chavez initially sought to foster good ties with Obama, shaking his hand and giving him a book at a regional summit. But he has been increasingly critical of late, saying Obama failed to curb "imperialist" policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, and was tolerant toward a coup leader in Honduras.

"Let's not kid ourselves: the Obama illusion has finished, and the shameless interventionism of the American administration shows that," wrote Chavez. ...

Chavez has his own bus now, and Obama goes under it.

Chavez isn't half negro, so he will automatically lose some points.

Yes, just like rejecting race-based preferential grading and hiring schemes is racist.

No, but he is Latino, which sets up a great PC fight.  The NAACP started using the whole "People of color" meme a few years ago when it became evident that the Latinos were becoming more numerous than Blacks, and somewhat more upwardly-mobile and motivated to assimilate to boot, it's their attempt to co-opt the Latino numbers to beef up a flagging cause.

I don't know, the illusion I had of Obama's Administration is just what I imagined it would be.
