VENICE (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a fierce critic of U.S. foreign policy who once called George W. Bush "the devil," said on Monday he hoped to be able to work more closely with President Barack Obama.
The leftist 55-year-old leader added in an interview in Italy that despite the global economic crisis and signs of a slowdown in growth in Venezuela, he did not expect his country to fall into recession.
Chavez was in Venice for the world premiere of "South of the Border," director Oliver Stone's sympathetic portrait of a leader he says has championed the poor and who has been unfairly demonized by the U.S. media.
"I have no reason to call him (Obama) the devil, and I hope that I am right," Chavez told reporters in Venice.

But don’t you dare call Mr. Obama, his associates, friends, staffers, czars, cabinet and appointees “Communists,” “Marxists,” “Socialists,”
“Terrorists,” or “Radicals,” you vile, racist, Bible-clutching, in-bred, angry mob, cousin-marrying, gun-totin’, snake-handlin’, redneck, hillbilly, trailer-trash birthers!!

Mark Lloyd praises Hugo Chavez Of course he does--Chavez and Obama support Manuel Zelaya--rubadubdub, three Marxists in the tub, and Mark Lloyd is their towel boy.
Stopping the American Chavez will require ouster of Lloyd before he can silence the Internet and talk radio.

I would love for Obama and Chavez to work together...in a remote location making small rocks out of larger ones.
