CHAVEZ CALLS ON OBAMA TO FOLLOW PATH OF SOCIALISM

Caracas – Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday called upon US President Barack Obama to follow the path to socialism, which he termed as the “only” way out of the global recession. “Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the United States,” Chavez told a group of workers in the southern Venezuelan state of Bolivar.

Here’s the original in Spanish:

In addition to inviting Obama to follow the path of socialism, Chavez insulted our country yet again,

“The American empire is coming to an end. It’s not about the end of the United States, or its institutions, or its people. That murderous, genocidal empire has to end and someday a leader will come that will better interpret that people and lead it to a superior destiny, and not give it the sad destiny of a murderous power, an aggressor hated by the whole world.”

If anyone is interested in funding and starting a MEMRI-like website on Latin America, email me.

UPDATE
Video in Spanish, from a February 28, 2009 cadena, where Chavez says, among other things, “Obama, take care of yours [the American people] and I’ll take care of mine…To Mr. Obama..,show a little intelligence… Here the DEA supported the drug traffic.” Carries on about torture in Iraq, Americans killing Iraqi children, Israel committing genocide, and concludes with,

Go wash your *ss, Mr. Obama. Go wash that *ss.

  3. Socialism is a religion, not a political creed. No matter how many times it fails new zealots for it’s cause will rise up. Venezuela will be bankrupted by this buffoon, it’s people impoverished further, it’s producers fled, but it won’t matter. A few years to forget, then a new crop of marxist wreakers will arrive, spouting the same lies.

    ‘Something for nothing’, the socialists creed, and there’s always enough fools, layabouts and thieves to form a following. What contemptible, worthless people.

  4. The miracle mulatos (Chaves & Obama) both have bolivarized themselves with adulation and feel they can change destiny. The crosshairs of the future will financially take them both down. Please, venezolanos despiertos, take Chavez out for the good of the hemisphere. Our US way of social titration will drastically waste “O” and the idiots who voted his thizzle in. Viva both Bushes, who thought “America first” was worth living for.
