Obama and the Anti-American Dictator - What the Media Isn't Covering
RedState's Erick Erickson sees cause for concern in Obama's private discussions with Venezuala's Marxist dictator, Hugo Chavez.
There is cause for concern here. Chavez destabilizes the entire region with his antics, like funding paramilitary groups in Columbia, and his anti-American rhetoric and hate for our country has been in place ever since his rise to power. Obama has really been making a mess of all things foreign policy lately - see Honduras, for an example - and cozying up to a power-mad Marxist dictator is not a step in the right direction. Of course, who could see this coming, with all of Obama's foreign policy experience before he applied for the biggest job in American politics?
"Ladies and gentlemen, we’re so busy watching Barack Obama destroy American
capitalism in his domestic policy, we’ve failed to pay attention that he is also
destroying our long time foreign policy ideals too."
