President Obama Gives Warm Handshake to Dictator Hugo Chavez - Photos 4/17/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | April 17, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 04/18/2009 5:43:35 AM PDT by Federalist Patriot

At the Summit of the Americas yesterday in Trinidad and Tobago, President Obama shook hands with Venezuela's Dictator Hugo Chavez as if he was greeting an old friend. This despite the constant stream of derogatory rhetoric spewed by Chavez toward the United States over the years. Obviously protocol demands that Obama be polite and respectful toward any nation's leader when forced to by circumstances in public. But the toothy Obama GQ grin and the lingering handshake were not requirements. Obama's comfort level with Chavez and a comfort level with the Castro brothers makes you feel it may belie a comfortableness he feels with more than the world stage.

Don't be fooled by the sweetness and light coming from Chavez and the Castro bros. They are not the first ruthless dictators to turn on the charm when they are meeting with someone who seems willing to help them achieve their ambitions. Let's hope President Obama's foolishness does not lead to the cataclysmic results Neville Chamberlain's did when he essentially gave away Czechoslovakia to Hitler in 1938 and returned home saying "We have peace in our time." (See Obama-Chavez photos and Chamberlain-Hitler photo)

The *real* point here is that Obama went out of his way to greet Chavez warmly.

So you have to ask yourself this honest question. Do you believe Obama or your eyes?

This dude is an extreme embarrassment to all freedom loving Americans. Even Pelosi called Chavez a thug.

What, no bow? Oh, I forgot, he gave him only a one-handed handshake. How tall is Chavez?

Can it be that Zero has forgotten how to grovel authentically?

You are correct. THIS man, Obama, is far more dangerous than many people understand. Philosophically, at his base, he is an utter fool. Interesting....because many people in Latin America constantly make jokes about the fool that Chavez is.

LOL! My first thought, too! My second thought was, ‘Does Zero’s Boss Lady know what he’s up to?’

“Pelosi said at her weekly on-camera briefing, ‘Hugo Chavez abused the privilege that he had speaking at the United Nations. In doing so, in the manner in which he characterized the President, he demeaned himself and he demeaned Venezuela. I think Hugo Chavez fancies himself a modern-day Simon Bolivar, but all he is is an everyday thug.’”

BINGO! We have a winner!

Well, Hussein will feel right at home with all the Leftists tyrants! 11/2012 won't come soon enough for me...and 11/2010 will be a very good “tuneup” to start “taking out the trash!”

Barry - "I'm sorry Hugo. I threw my back out tea bagging King Abdullah last week. So you're gonna have to settle for a hand job from the One."

Hugo - "Is okay Soetoro. I see that your subjects held many celebrations Wednesday to honor your tea bagging skills. I watched with great interest the Keith Olberfagg and Rachel Madcow MSNBC Shows."

Had enough?

.

Join Allan Keyes at the Million Man March Sept.12-13

Anti-Obama organizations are being united at Freedoms First
http://www.freedomsfirst.org/
for a ‘million man’ march on Washington.
The permit is secured- AND ALREADY OVER HALF A MILLION AMERICANS HAVE SIGNED UP!

This is the only way we will ever get the attention of our elected officials the MSM and the masses- protest!

From the FreedomsFirst website:

We are moving forward on our rally in Washington D C.
We are working non stop in preparations for this historical event to be held Sept 12-13 2009 at the Lincoln Memorial Reflections pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial.
As for the time, The million man march that took place a few years age took over 2 years to organize, we are trying to push this through as fast as we can.
To protest in DC you have to have a permit and have approval to use a certain piece of land.

We called ahead of filing for these things. September 12 &13 were the next available days they had.
The other organization, resistnet.com, which was putting together a march for May 30, didn’t do this so they were refused their permit. Now they are joining with our group. So, we are doing this absolutely as soon we can.
To have a successful march takes time and organization.

Why are we protesting ?
1. To get the attention of the mainstream media.
2. To demand That Obama Provide proof that he is eligible to be president.
3. To demand that Congress and the Supreme court uphold our constitution.
4. To inform the public on the issue of Obama’s ineligibility to be president of the USA.
5. To demand that they can not take our constitutional rights away.

PRESIDENT OBAMA, WE DEMAND THAT YOU BE TRANSPARENT NOW
We will come together in a peaceful rally.
We are proud Americans who fear that we are losing the America we all know and love.
The America where millions have served in our military sacrificing their lives so that we remain free.
A people who honor their flag and understand what it means to fly it and are so proud to do so.
It is time for our voices to be heard loud and clear. Our government is for the people and by the people.
We are Americans who see our rights slipping away as we speak.
It is time our voices are heard.
It is time for us to shout loudly and strongly that we refuse to live under a socialist regime, where our voices are silenced.
Lets take this action now before we awaken one morning and our freedoms are nothing more than a memory.

WE WILL BE UNITED- CHRISTIAN, JEW, BUDDHIST, HINDU, ATHEIST, BLACK AND WHITE.
WE WILL BE ONE- ONE OF MANY WHO STAND AS PATRIOTIC AMERICANS DEMANDING OUR VOICES BE HEARD.
We will be DEMANDING THAT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ABIDE BY THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
WE DEMAND THE TRANSPARENCY HE PROMISED !!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS US ON THIS RALLY.

AN HISTORICAL, MAGICAL, WONDERFUL SHOW OF THE REAL AMERICA.

This clown has brought more disgrace upon this country in three months than all of the presidents combined since I was born and I'm pushing 50. All he knows how to do is put his own country down. I suppose if one took a close look at this background the evidence is there for all to see. A compliant media along with an mind numbingly naive electorate ensured that this would not matter. After all of the Obamabots get smoked like cheap cigars maybe enough of them will come to their collective senses and realize they elected the worst president in history.

Fox just showed new video of Hugo shaking hands and presenting Barry with a book...the Friends are saying that Barry’s body lingo with Hugo isn’t as friendly as last night. Looked pretty chummy to me.
