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. ...

The dueling loyalties will cause more confusion at the DUmp than a bus full of blind lesbians at a fish market.

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

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.
