Amateur Diplomacy: Somebody explain to us why an official U.S. delegation was sent to Caracas for the funeral of Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez. It only boosts our enemies while diminishing America. The death of Chavez this week should have been an opportunity for the U.S. to rally global support for Venezuela's battered democrats and make a stand for democracy. Instead, the Obama administration has done all it can to validate and bolster Chavez's gangsterly minions desperate to perpetrate their Marxist kleptocracy. Already these surviving Chavistas have made clear who they are and what the U.S. can expect: President Obama called for "better relations," and Chavez's designated successor, Nicolas Maduro, announced the expulsion of two U.S. diplomats for "plotting."

Maybe the US is just exceprting a blog there trying to get some hits.
One would think that with the number of times you have written the word,

Informed people in Colombia just shake their heads..........
We should be celebrating but instead are mourning. Obama is probably writing up a glowing eulogy and plans to include him in his adorations of previous evil dictators.
Waste of time posting to this pimp; it never makes replies:
It’s not a blog, it’s an editorial from a legitimate newspaper.

...61% of Americans didn’t want Obamacare.
...62% of California voted “one man, one woman” but a judge decided otherwise.
...90% of NYers don’t agree with a “soda size ban”. Bloomy did it anyway.
Socialist of a feather, flock together!
Hussein barrak obama wanted to get some ideas of how his funerals would be. Dictators do like to outdo each others even in death.
I imagine hussein wanting his body laying in state for a year so that ALL Americans are forced to go and participate - just like in north korea.

So what?
So it’s a bot trolling FR for hits.
It’s sorta like the savings associated with spelling “employee” with but two “e”s.
Arranging to meet Hookers . . ?
I hear ya bro...prayers down South to family and friends.
I’ll bet that if it’s a problem, Jim would have popped it a long time ago. Really, you have to pick your targets better. There are a lot.
I have no influence around here, but as a favor I ask you to leave IBD guy alone. And John Semmens. He’s good people.
Well, since they are sending Sean Penn, one of the CIA’s top assassins, maybe they intend to cork his chief lieutenant.
