CARACAS, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday there were good chances for the Democratic candidate Barak Obama to win the U.S. presidential elections slated for Tuesday.
"It is not a small thing that an African-American attains the U.S. presidency," Chavez said.
Obama and rival Republican John McCain are in their final campaigning stretch ahead of the coming elections.
On many occasions, Chavez has expressed his disfavor with McCain, but he has adopted a different view on Obama, who was born to a Kenyan father.
"We don't ask him (Obama) to be a revolutionary, but to adapt himself to what is happening, to peace," Chavez said at a ceremony to inaugurate the construction of the Barinas international airport in his hometown of Sabaneta, 520 km southwest of Caracas.
Chavez said that a lifting of the U.S. economic embargo on Cuba and a withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, could be a good beginning in case Obama wins the elections.
"The United States has everything to be a world power," Chavez said, but it should never infringe on the sovereignty of poor countries.

Oh oh. Looks like we have a love traingle on our hands now....
The late night orgies in the West Wing will make slick/monica seem like a sunday school tutorial.
Good. This is a GOOD thing when people like Chavez and Imahandjob express their support for Obama.
Maybe ACORN can send Hugo an absentee voter registration form.
There should be some ads on this... played over and over. Our enemies giving the wink and nod to BHO.
If you add Obama, you will have a Lefty Muslim par-tay!
I understand that Zedong, Lenin, Stalin and Hitler have already voted for Obama via absentee ballots in Cook County.
How do know they haven't already?
The problem with that is the doggie isn’t playing dead. The doggie is full out for Obama.
Axis of Evil ping.....
Chavez is Obama’s political role model. He will do to America exactly what Chavez did to Venezuela except on a grand scale. If the barefaced messiah wins the American people better get ready for more suffering than they every imagined possible.
Of course, every Marxist thug in the world is embracing Obama. Birds of a feather...
Hugo Chavez, please stick an oil rig where the sun don't shine. You, Hugo, are a MARXIST -- like Obama!!
Then we will look at the good old days -- the Jimmy Carter presidency!! I know why Jimmah wants Obama... :-)
Mark my words... When Obama loses, the UN is going to send in investigators, claiming election fraud because their candidate did not win, Harry Ried will call for a Congressional investigation...this is going to be much worse than the 2000 election.
I’ve got plenty of ammo.
Isn’t this the perfect answer to the ad Obama has run saying that Cheney’s support of McCain means that McCain will be a continuation of Bush? According to Obama’s OWN logic, it follows that the endorsement of Chavez means Obama will go with Chavez type programs. Or is it programmes?
