So, even the Washington Post notices the weak, criminally inept BO foreign policy in Latin America. This on top of the Scotland episode, which would have been unthinkable under Bush. How bad has it got to be when the BO-loving Wash Post points it out on the editorial page.

BS. Obama and Chavez are on board on just about everything, especially on encouraging Marxist dictatorships to spread throughout Latin America.

LA GUAIRA, Venezuela – Russian warships arrived off Venezuela's coast Tuesday in a show of strength aimed at the United States as Moscow seeks to expand its influence in Latin America.

Strike the “BS” in my previous post. It’s actually a pretty decent article from the Washington Post.

Pandering to Muslims, “Fairness” doctorines, gerrymandering, speech codes, ACORN & SEIU, the well-fed liberals at WaPo are now fearing a real Marxist in Obama, the man they jumped on their swords for. There are a lot of BO and Chevez similarities.

From the article...

"It shouldn't be hard to refute such nonsense, but the Obama administration's response was late and underpowered...Nor has the administration tried to call attention to the genuine and serious hostile actions that Mr. Chávez has taken against his neighbors and the democratic opposition in his own country."

The article does seem to leave out the fact that Obama himself is a Marxist dictator, and that that is the primary reason he's being soft on what's happening in Latin America.

The WAPO is pointing out that Chavez is turning Venezuela into a target range for US Air Strikes.

The WAPO is wondering why Obama does not understnd this simple fact.

Well , its because Obama does NOT want to understand this simple fact. His successor will instantaneously, when Obama resigns the presidency or is impeached.
