Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said he wants to "shake hands" with his US counterpart, Barack Obama, and have "good relations" with Washington if the two leaders are reelected this year.
"Here we're going to win the elections on October 7 and Obama is probably going to win. With us winning here... if Obama wins there... hopefully we can shake hands again and talk and have better relations," Chavez told reporters at the presidential palace in Caracas on Friday.
The Venezuelan leader made the remarks in response to statements by Obama, who said Thursday in an interview that "there is a tendency on the part of the Venezuelan government to use the United States as an excuse for some of its own mistakes."
However, he also said he would like to see "improved relations with Venezuela."

Another write-in vote for “The Church Lady”.
Must be good to be dictator and be secure in the knowledge that the ballot boxes are already stuffed before the voters have cast a single ballot. It's the Caracas-Chicago way!
Never thought I’d see the day I agreed with Chavez. When he called Obama “his counterpart”, he is so correct.
From one commie/socialist leader to another........
