Hugo Chavez prefers President Obama

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has weighed in on the U.S. presidential race, saying he prefers President Barack Obama.

“If I were American, I’d vote for Obama,” Chavez said in a televised interview that aired Sunday.

The Venezuelan leader called Obama “a good guy” and said if the U.S. president were a Venezuelan, “I think … he’d vote for Chavez.”

Chavez is running for re-election, seeking another six years in office in an Oct. 7 vote. Venezuela has had tense relations with the U.S. government for years, even though the United States remains the top buyer of oil from the country.

“I wish we could begin a new period of normal relations with the government of the United States,” Chavez said in the interview on the Venezuelan television channel Televen.

Chavez and Obama shook hands at a 2009 summit, but relations have since cooled.

The U.S. Embassy in Caracas has been without an ambassador since July 2010, with Chavez rejecting Washington’s nominee for ambassador, Larry Palmer, and accusing him of making disrespectful remarks about Venezuela’s government. That led Washington to revoke the visa of the Venezuelan ambassador to the United States.

GREAT ENDORSEMENT!

 Is this one next?

SIMPLY AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT

On a tip from my brother Gary.

Isn't it amazing that, within only one week of Tiger Woods crashing his Escalade, the press found every woman with whom Tiger has had an affair during the last few years?

And, they even uncovered photos, text messages, recorded phone calls, etc.!

Furthermore, they not only know the cause of the family fight, but they even know it was a9 iron from his golf bag that his wife used to break out the windows in the Escalade.

And, each and every day, they were able to continue to provide America with updates on Tiger's sex rehab stay, his wife's divorce settlement figures, as well as the dates and Tournaments in which he will play.

Now, Barack Hussein Obama has been in office for over three years, yet this very same press:

Cannot find any of his childhood friends or neighbors;

Or find any of Obama's high school or college classmates;

Or locate any of his college papers or grades;

Or determine how he paid for both a Columbia and a Harvard education;

Or discover which country issued his visa to travel to Pakistan in the 1980's;

Or even find Michelle Obama's Princeton thesis on racism.

They just can't seem to uncover any of this.

Yet, the public still trusts that same press to give them the whole truth!

Don't you find that amazing ?

NOW TELL ME THERE IS NO CORRUPTION IN THE AMERICAN PRESS

'A few years ago he would've been carrying our bags'

'A few years ago he would've been carrying our bags': New book reveals the insensitive racial remark Bill Clinton made about Barack Obama in 2008

• Ex-President said to have made remark in 2008 before later backing Obama

Bill Clinton made an insensitive racial remark about Barack Obama while his wife battled him for the Democratic nomination vote, it was claimed today.

The former U.S. president, whose wife Hillary battled Obama in the 2008 primary campaign, is said to have remarked of the current president: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been carrying our bags.'

Clinton allegedly made the insensitive remark to Senator Ted Kennedy in 2008, while trying to convince him to endorse Hillary for the Democratic nomination, according to the New Yorker.

Rift: Clinton, pictured in 2009 having given Obama his backing, is alleged to have made the racially insensitive remark about the current president in 2008.

Claim: Clinton is said to have made the remark to late Senator Ted Kennedy (right), who eventually backed Obama for Democratic Nomination

Writer Ryan Lizza said he heard about the comment from NBC newsman Tim Russert, who died in 2008.

Four years ago Clinton and Obama had clashed following Hillary Clinton's failed bid for Presidency, which she lost to Obama.

Although Clinton is said to have since given his backing to the current U.S. President, his remark is the latest in a series of apparent outbursts against Obama.

The ill-advised comment follows claims of another remark attributed to Clinton in 2010, where he is said to have commented: 'A few years ago, this guy would have been getting us coffee.'

Mitt makes the call

Now that the convention is over and Mitt is supposed to be a practical joker. Mitt dials 1-800-Barry and says…

Hey Barry, we still have the National Debt Clock from our convention and I was wondering if you good put it to good use. Think of the dramatic impact it'll have at the DNC when it strikes $16 Trillion!

 I'll ship it to you for free…

There is some muffled chatter at the other end of the line and then Mitt says with a smile…

I thought Clint told you I can do that to myself.
