CARACAS, June 2 (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Tuesday that he and Cuban ally Fidel Castro risk being more conservative than U.S. President Barack Obama as Washington prepares to take control of General Motors Corp.
During one of Chavez's customary lectures on the "curse" of capitalism and the bonanzas of socialism, the Venezuelan leader made reference to GM's bankruptcy filing, which is expected to give the U.S. government a 60 percent stake in the 100-year-old former symbol of American might.
"Hey, Obama has just nationalized nothing more and nothing less than General Motors. Comrade Obama! Fidel, careful or we are going to end up to his right," Chavez joked on a live television broadcast.
During a decade in government, Chavez has nationalized most of Venezuela's key economic sectors, including multibillion dollar oil projects, often via joint ventures with the private sector that give the state a 60 percent controlling stake.
Obama has vowed to quickly sell off General Motors once the auto giant is back on its feet, but the government will initially control the company after a $30 billion injection of taxpayer funds.

And what is delicious to our enemies is that the Amnerican people, uninformed, liberal, and foolishly hopeful, have done this to themselves!
It has been and will continue to be a piece a cake when it comes to fooling the American people, who will take fifteen years to come out of their cycle.
“Venezuela Chavez says “Comrade” Obama more left-wing”
List of those applauding Chavez comments:
1) Academia
2) MSM
3) ACORN
4) Anti-War groups
5) Hollywood
Your perspective is outdated. The kool-aid drinkers here in the US WANT communism/socialism.
They see it. They love it. They embrace Jim Jones Kool-Aid politics.
McCarthy should've been attacking/explaining the reasons why commies-in-govt were bad instead of attacking individuals for being commies and assuming everyone understood the problem.
Instead he just gave anti-communisits a bad name.
You forgot:
6) Barack Hussein Obama!
Why do you think he and Chavez were chumming it up a few weeks ago? They are birds of a feather, brothers in the struggle...And to both, the end always justifies the means.
Scary.
Sometimes out of the mouths of idiots, Chavez, truth emerges. It takes a socialist to know one.
“Not many remember that.”
True, because many “historians” teach that the Cold War was solely a product of U.S. villainy.
Obama, Chavez shake hands at Americas Summit:

Chavez Vows To 'Stand By Iran'
After Oil Talks In Tehran, Venezuelan Leader Called 'Brother' By Ahmedinejad
"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Well, but we were told Mclaim was too liberal and besides 4 years of RAT rule will just show everybody how right we are.
It's so frustrating, because this did not have to happen, but the republicans at all levels laid down and let it happen.
The Soviet Union may not exist anymore, but you could argue they’ve (temporarily) won the Cold War. The capitalist leader of the free world elected a communist and is becoming a socialist laughing stock.
Basil Exposition: Austin, the Cold War is over.
Austin Powers: Finally those capitalist pigs will pay for their crimes, eh? Eh comrades? Eh? ...
BTTT
Meanwhile back at the radicalmarxist ranch....Obama campaigns for Arachmaloonijad and appeases his muslim brothers until Israel is surrounded by great armies..

And it starts by dumbing down the population - thank the public school system for the uneducated/socialist masses. Of course, this would not have been allowed to go on if faith was alive and parents did not allow the public school system to be taken over by the left....proving once again that all it takes for evil to triumph is for the good to do nothing.
To be fair, from its very inception in the USA lefties had designs on public schooling, but their influence was sharply limited until the unprecedented laxity of modern times.
