CARACAS, Sept 30 (Reuters) - With both presidents facing tight re-election fights, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez gave a surprise endorsement to Barack Obama on Sunday - and said the U.S. leader no doubt felt the same.

“I hope this doesn’t harm Obama, but if I was from the United States, I’d vote for Obama,” the socialist Chavez said of a man he first reached out to in 2009 but to whom he has since generally been insulting.

First of all anyone who honestly believes Obama is a Marxist doesn’t have a clue about political systems, but beyond that anyone who would allow a foreign dictator sway their vote might be foolish, and playing into the hands of someone who doesn’t like America.
 
Hugo Chavez, Communist dictator and sponsor of Islamic terrorism, was elected by people voting at gunpoint, and had his election OK’d as kosher by observer Jimmy Carter, the guy who had Samuel P. Huntington skew his FEMA into an excuse to declare martial law. These control types luv each other. I’m sure Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will be too polite to mention the Chavez endorsement.

Anyone who doesn’t believe Obama is a Marxist, doesn’t know the man at all. :rolleyes:

When folks call Obama a marxist, they are obviously engaging in hyperbole…I think we all understand he’s a social democrat…interested in adding to the welfare state, perhaps, but not in nationalizing industries (other than maybe health insurance).

I’m sure folks in the Obama camp cringed when they saw Chavez’s comment…and hoped it didn’t get much play in major media outlets.

Social Democrats still believes in Marxism :rolleyes:

Marxism = Capitalism → Socialism → Communism

Social Democrats seek to establish Socialism more gradually than Revolutionary Socialists, but the goal is still the same, liberation of the Proletariat from the “Dictatorship of the Bourgeoisie”

I think the full cradle to grave nanny state is the social dems end goal.

The dividing line for full bore socialism is government ownership of the means of production…euro social dems have gone the opposite direction the last 40 years.

The dividing line for marxism would be the severe restriction or elimination of private property. “Property is theft”

Big O falls in the first camp, I would think.
 
What else do you expect from one socialist speaking to another? :onpatrol:

that’s right. forgot about those 2. i think samual l. jackson would make another nice addition along with Obama. what a party that would be!
 
Where are all the atheists and democrat Catholics on this one?

This really isn’t much of a surprise. Dictators like Chavez want a weaker America.
