Venezuela's Chavez would 'vote for Obama'
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Venezuelan  His Excellency President-for-Life, Caudillo of the Bolivarians Hugo Chavez says that if he were a US citizen, he would vote for President Barack ObamaThey get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them... in the November 6 presidential election -- and if Obama were Venezuelan, he'd vote for Chavez. The firebrand ... firebrandsare noted more for audio volume and the quantity of spittle generated than for any actual logic in their arguments... leftist president is in a tight re-election race of his own against opposition candidate Henrique Capriles in a vote to be held on October 7. More about Mr. Capriles in the Telegraph. Sounds like he actually has a chance... "If I were from the United States, I'd vote for Obama," Chavez told the privately-held Televen television network on Sunday. If Obama came from a working-class Caracas neighbourhood, he would "vote for Chavez," the Venezuelan president claimed. "Obama recently said something very rational and just: Venezuela is not a threat to the interests of the United States," Chavez said, calling the US president a "nice guy."
