At least he didn’t bow
Click on the link for the full-size photo if you must. I can’t stand to look at our president’s dumb grin as he warmly greets Venezuela’s thug-in-chief:
And another handholding pic here: Ew.
Did anyone smell sulfur during the photo op?
Now, the Evil Clown (as Allahpundit calls him) can add his friendly pic with Obama to his Chavista Fan Club photo album:


Tools.
Obama is hanging with Chavez and company this weekend to “seek a new beginning with Cuba.”
Meanwhile, George Moneo at Babalu Blog points out, Oscar Elias Biscet continues to rot in prison.

Agreed. Part of the reality of an empty suit.
I don’t understand why people in our country continue to give these third world, America hating, piss-ant dictators the time of day. The President of the U.S. doesn’t owe anyone an apology for our country and I’m sick of it. They can all shove it where the sun don’t shine.
The most disgusting aspect of this A$$ KISSING??? He makes a trip to MEXICO, and blames the US for all of MEXICO’S problems… He vows to join MEXICO in it’s war on drugs… Guess who is a LARGE SUPPLIER of drugs to the US??? Why, I do believe it just might be VENEZUELA!!! That coupled with the fact he is CHUMMY with IRAN, and supports TERRORISM against the US, O-BOZO should not be in the same ROOM with CHAVEZ, let alone shaking hands with him!!!
The Barry Obama Bend Over and Take It tour, starring:
The Castro Brothers
Hugo Chavez
Daniel Ortega
Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
Luiz Inacio Lula
and Barry Obama as the nobbie President
This is perhaps one of those questions that answers themselves. In a democracy, the electorate gets the government they deserve and unfortunately huge segments of the populace loath America, have no identification with it or what made it possible, and look for any external power to liberate themselves from it. Obama is their messiah, their only allegiance is to the Democrat Party. The kindest thing that can be said about Obama is that he may only be the Lenin warm-up prior to the Stalin to come.
There is no dealing with these people, no possibility of compromise, no hope of reconciliation. They desperately (note the venom and contempt of the trolls who visit this site) desire the purging socialism of national transformation, not the weak-kneed welfare states of what remains of Europe before it becomes Islamic, but the socialism of Hitler, Stalin, and Mao. The real thing.
Thus, it is them or us. If we recognize the reality of this fact in full, and are prepared to fight regardless of the cost to ourselves, there is a chance sacred American will be saved. Otherwise, it’s the boneyard. That’s what history says about transformative socialism.
On a lighter note, it is possible that Obama wasn’t bowing to the “king,” but merely mooning the rest of us. I am open to the objection he was doing both.
It’s sick that obama turns his back on people fighting to stay free (and alive), while he makes friends with people who make their political opposition “disappear”.
If obama is so concerned about torture, he would be asking what the hell happened to the political opposition in Venezuela or reporters in Iran.
Oh Noooo – Obama shook another man’s hand – Oh no – what will happen now? We are all doomed – oh nooooo.
Grow up people – we live in 2009.
Oh, not yet. It’s not over ’til one of ‘em beats his bongo & sings ‘Ba-ba LOOOOOOO!!’
