#1 Had you supported him Obama, you would have CHANGE. And happy people too.

You let a country down and am now a figure for propaganda by Chavez. That is a different time magazine upstairs.

#3 Now that the President of the most powerfull nation in the world is giving ligitimacy to tyrants like Chavez by palling around with them, the tyrants return home feeling powerfull enough to finish the job of crushing any and all dissent. Way to go Obama. Shame on America.

#4 It's a bit curious he went to Peru, but understandable. Peru is one of the big four countries on the continent, and it's best he avoid Colombia to not give Hugo another excuse to meddle there. Brazil and Argentina are likely to extradite him, but Peru should be more amenable - an opportunity for them to act more politically mature, particularly after the latest Fujimora actions.

Hugo also won''t want to inflame Peruvians - that would only make trouble for his erstwhile allies in Bolivia and Ecuador, both of which are in Peru's shadow.

This may play well for Peru, showing Venezuela to be what it is in South America, a second or third tier power, not that any of the MSM here would ever report that.
