Chavez says Obama same as Bush on drug war

[bijou]

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Saturday condemned a US report on global counternarcotics, saying President Barack Obama is continuing the policies of his predecessor, George W. Bush.
"Is there a new government in the United States or is it Bush still in power? Obama seems to be a continuation of the Bush era. But it doesn't matter to me. Regardless of US imperialism, this revolution will continue its course," Chavez said in a speech.

"The Obama administration has again attacked Venezuela. He said that Venezuela and I, even citing my name, do not cooperate in the fight against drug trafficking. The country that most supports drug trafficking on this planet is the United States.

"The United States is the world's leading consumer of drugs. Why can't they stop drugs from coming into their country? Obama, you take care of your business and I'll take care of mine. Don't mess with me, Mr Obama," he added.

Hmm, looks like Chavez hasn't received his pony either.

I sometimes wonder if Hugo and some of the other world dictators aren't just playing the 0Bama and the lefties here like a well worn fiddle. Hugo has to know that he has supporters among the nuts and fruits in this country, and by saying things like this is putting pressure on 0Bama to increase his movement to the left.  Holder has already announced that there will be no raids on medical pot places in states that have legalized it. I look for further attempts at decriminalization under 0Bama.

Sounds to me that Chavez can read obama better than the dems and libs who voted him into office.

Kinda reminds me of the 2000 presidential election when the folks in Tennessee [al-gore's home state] didn't support al-gore - they knew him better than the rest of us.
