Obama draws praise from Chavez, Putin -- and Castro family

President Obama appears to getting reelection support from three world leaders notorious for their anti-American views.

Venezuela President Hugo Chavez, after winning a fourth term earlier this month, reportedly said he would vote for Obama and that the president would likely vote for him.

The socialist-leaning ruler also reportedly called Obama a “good guy.”

His support follows that of the Castro family, which has ruled Cuba under a communist dictatorship for more than 50 years.

In June, Mariela Castro, the daughter of Cuban President Raul Castro, said in a CNN interview, translated into English: “As a citizen of the world, I would like (Obama) to win.”

And Russian President Vladimir Putin -- who is back in Moscow's driver's seat after a stint as prime minister -- has said the reelection of Obama could improve political relations between the two countries.

Once upon the good ol’ days, an endorsement from a communist dictator would destroy anyone running for office - especially the POTUS - and especially when getting THREE commie dictators endorsements!

Once upon the good ol days, the dimrat party acted in the best interest of the USA. Now they are loyal to the party only. The CPUSA endorsed obama in 08 because they didn’t want to put up a candidate that was so close to obama.
The CPUSA has endorsed obama again.
Add in the major media that apparently wants to live under a dicatorship and here we are.
What the media can’t grasp is that dicators sack the media once they have unstoppable power.

What would Obama have done differently:

If he wanted to destroy our Constitution?

If he wanted to destroy the American economy?

If he wanted to destroy America’s standing in the world?

If he wanted to undermine our Military?

If he hated America?

If he were Communist?

If he wanted to “Fundamentally Transform America”?
