#4 Chavez's remarks come after a Thursday meeting with US Democratic congressman William Delahunt, who is testing the water for a normalization of relations between the two countries.

I'm so proud to have Delahunt as my Congressman...

#5 Chavez is right about Obama. Pretty sad when a flake is more politically savvy than el President of the USA.

#7 Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says his US counterpart is clueless about the 'reality of Latin America', urging him to 'read and study'.

Which could equally be said in the opposite direction, but at least President Obama has the skills to follow those instructions.

#8 Hey Raj, where do you live the Delahunt is your critter? That's somewhere on the south shore, no?

I stopped paying attention to mine when Blute lost. I think it might be McGovern but don't really care.

#9 Yeah, but he called TOTUS (Teleprompter in Chief) a very interesting guy he could sit down with and have a beer.

#12 Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

There is a possibility that if the clock were running consistently slow that it would not even be right twice a day.

#15 Actually, the best description of Obambi is "JIC" - "Jackass in Charge".
