Chavez congratulates Obama, suggests rebuilding relations

(IANS)

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez congratulated US president-elect Barack Obama Wednesday on his 'historic' win and said the time had come for the two countries to establish new relations.

Chavez emphasised Caracas' will to 'build, on the basis of absolute respect for sovereignty, a constructive bilateral agenda for the welfare of the Venezuelan and the US people', according to a statement issued by the Venezuelan foreign ministry.

'The historic election of an African American to lead the most powerful nation in the world is symptomatic of a changing era that has been conceived in South America and could be knocking on the doors of the United States,' he said.

There is a global demand for a change in international relations and the construction 'of a world of equilibrium, peace and human coexistence'.

Under US President George W. Bush, relations between Caracas and Washington have steadily deteriorated, and both nations currently have no ambassadors in each other's territory.

Chavez congratulates Obama, suggests rebuilding relations

That "changing era that has been conceived in South America and could be knocking on the doors of the United States" is socialism.

Do we really want a President to emulate Hugo Chavez?

President Hugo Chavez echoed Fidel Castro's cry of "socialism or death" as he was sworn in for a new six-year term on Wednesday, promising to accelerate Venezuela's transformation into a socialist state.

Chavez took the oath of office at the National Assembly after a sweeping re-election victory that has given him free reign to pursue more radical changes, including plans to nationalize power and telecommunications companies.

His right hand raised, Chavez declared: "Fatherland, socialism or death — I swear it," invoking the Cuban leader's famous call to arms.

Chavez also alluded to Jesus, saying: "I swear by Christ — the greatest socialist in history."

In a speech that followed, he said the central aim of his term that runs until 2013 will be "to build Venezuelan socialism."

"I don't have the slightest doubt that is the only path to the redemption of our peoples, the salvation of our fatherland," Chavez told lawmakers to applause. He said he believes that socialism — not capitalism — is the only way to guarantee well-being not only for Venezuela, but the world....

CIA is strictly forbidden to conduct any type of assassination program since 1980's (I believe). That's why they did not take out Osama bin Laden when they had him in sight.

that's why we have black ops :cool2:

PLAUSIBLE DENIABILITY
 
Obama is NOT a socialist. He clearly said he is a capitalist and supports capitalism. He believes in progressive taxation and does NOT want tax rate to go above 40%. Remember, he is one of the wealthy people that will end up paying 39% and he is NOT complaining.

We ALREADY have socialism here - social security, medicare, etc. This country cannot survive on pure capitalism.

I do think Chavez and Obama can rebuild relations yet respectfully disagree on issues.

Venezulea voted for Chavez so you should respect the people there. Chavez is a Christian and cited Jesus Christ as a source of his socialist policies.

Secondly in the article it states:

We do need to have working relations with other countries Reba or should we continue to isolate ourselves?

If you choose the later--I'm sorry for you.
 
Oh, we will have a working relationship with others; it is just a matter of what kind for each.

amen to that.

But see? That law being in place is partly responsible for 9/11 ;)

Utter poppycock. 9-11 was an inside job.
I hope Obama tells us the truth about it.

Yep, that's what I've been tryin' to tell to some ADers that I've read about Obama's background and what I discovered --- some of them are scary but, I did not tell them exactly what they were. They will think I am crazy or paranoid or whatever. I was just tryin' to SHOW them somethin'. And, now finally it proves me correct when I mentioned about socialism (t )/communism in other thread - some ADers don't agree with me on this issue. :roll:

I have more to tell ...but, that will wait. :)

You're sadly mistaken Maria because Obama is not a socialist and has absolutely nothing to do with Communism.

By the way, what exactly did you read about Obama's background that is so "scary?" I'd like to know.
 
oh god... such unreasonable paranoia... So what about President Clinton shaking hands with the former Cold War nemesis like Boris Yelstein? Look at what happened now. Russia is now no longer our enemy. What about President Bush letting Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to even walk on American soil?

You aren't prove as correct but rather to make up yourself.

Obama has nothing with Chavez when come with socialist due high poverty in Venezuela and STILL have freedom of speech, such as alot of protest in Caracas, Chavez has alot of work to help poor people and big support of human rights. We buys oil from their country and still have US embassy.

Again, both of socialism and communism aren't same, they are different way.

At overall, Chavez has went too crazy and his term is end in 2013 and fail to pass constitutional amendment to end limit term on presidency.
 
Joe Biden warned us about other countries testing the future president

This may possibly be one.
