First he bows to the Saudi king and now he's laughing it up with socialist dictator and America hater Hugo Chavez. Take a look at this picture:
Yahoo News has a lot more images of their meeting where you'll see them yukking it up and Barack slapping Hugo's back like it's old home week. This kind of buddy behavior with Chavez does nothing helpful for United States; in fact, it probably hurts us in the eyes of the rest of the world as Obama again makes himself, and by extension the US, look weak, meek, and eager as a puppy to please as Sarkozy has discovered. But it goes a long way to help Chavez.
Update: Andy McCarthy at The Corner reminds us that Obama already had a connection to Chavez through radical leftist and Chavez admirer William Ayers.

You can't really make too much of this. Obama and Chavez are both heads of state, and only acting diplomatic at this event for the cameras. But Chavez has made some outrageous statements against both Obama and the U.S. on a near daily basis, and Obama knows full well that Chavez is an eratic screwball that is a potential threat to the U.S. Anyone with even a casual interest in politics should realize these facts. And President Obama no doubt finds it very troubling that Chavez has sought to station Russian nuclear bombers in Venezuela as well. Chavez is no friend of the U.S. by any means. Relations with Cuba are likely to improve because Raul Castro and Obama are able to find some grounds to be civil towards each other, much like the U.S. and China during the Nixon years. However, Chavez will never be civil and relations with Venezuela will remain very chilly in the next four years, if not beyond.

THey are Presidents who might have witnessed violations of human rights just like we have, but that doesn't mean that we should stop talking or communicating with them. In order to create a better world is important to communicate. Remember it has been 40 years and nothing has changed in CUba. All of the sudden is a crime to shake hands with Venezuela or Cuba but is totally fine to do it with China. Maybe we have become so selfish and greedy that only associate ourselves with powerful and rich countries. Lets not forget that in the end we are humans and humans only.

"The first full day of the Summit of the Americas began with a gift during President Barack Obama's Saturday morning meeting with Andean nations: Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez walked over to Obama and handed him a book, in Spanish.
The book, Las Venas Abiertas de America Latina (The Open Veins of Latin America) by Eduardo Galeano is described by an unidentified Chilean delegate, as 'an academic book that is the basis for the 60s-era `dependency theory' that Latin America depends on the North,'' according to the White House media pool report.
Obama's response to the gift: ''I thought it was one of Chávez's books,'' he said. ''I was going to give him one of mine.''" (Miami Herald)
Chavez hands Obama a book in Spanish that Obama thinks is one by the dictator, in response the Teleprompted Won thinks he'll give the dictator one of his books. Except someone finally explains to the Won that the book is really "a book attacking capitalism and American intervention in the Western Hemisphere" (Wash. Times).

I do not listen to reactionary voice, left or right.

Nah Chavez doesn't hate obama, he just thinks he's ignorant: "At least one could say, 'poor ignorant person,"' Chavez said on his weekly television and radio program, adding that Obama "should read a little bit so that he learns about ... the reality of Latin America."
You are correct Chavez does have a problem with "certain Americans."
"I don't have much hope, because behind him is an empire. He's the president of an empire. ... Now, I think it's fair to give him some time. ... Seeing is believing," Chavez said. "I hope President Obama is the last president of the Yankee empire, and the first president of a truly democratic republic, the United States."
Make of that what you will, could mean a couple things.

Yeah! No American leader should ever talk to "the bad guys". It's like when Nixon decided to skip the China visit because they were all Communists.... oh wait.
I know it's fun to paint Obama and anyone who voted for him, supports him, and/or doesn't want to see him assassinated as a "radical leftist", but seriously, get some perspective.
Look at the photo. The look on Obama's face sums it up - he's not pleased to be there. But hey, through six degrees of Kevin Bacon, he of course wants to be in Hollywood today hanging out with Susan and Tim, right?

How perceptive of you. Now that you've opined on the inner sanctums of obama's mind via this image perchance... could you guess what Chavez is thinking?
Hell, you could tell us what he's thinking in this shot also.

Maybe it's just that Obama is comfortable and confident enough to play the political statesman game with a leader with whom we are often at odds. Maybe he's is secure enough in the strength and power of his country and its people to stand toe to toe with any world leader he cares to, even though he's well aware that his opponents at home will attempt to corrupt it to fit their small-minded, petty partisanship.

Wouldn't you slap Hugo on the back if he and his cronies were some of your big campaign contributors. After all, Obama disabled his credit checks on his internet campaign, so friends like Soros, Abdullah, Ahmadinejab Chavez and Castro could make their voices heard. Now we are seeing the boys club getting back together as Obama has become more brazen in letting his leftwing views come out of the closet.

Apparently it is. The BBC's use of the word "leftist" was to distinguish Chavez and the others from Obama. If they wanted to imply they were the same, they would have just said "counterpart", not "leftist counterpart".
I suppose that during the presidential campaign, referring to McCain as "Obama's Republican counterpart" would have classified Obama as a Republican to you?

Chairman Zero and Red Hugo have a lot in common- both are arrogant narcissists with a racial victimhood complex... and habitual liars.
-
Both displayed contempt for democracy or any opposition whatsoever once elected- and are absolutely clueless re. economic manners. And both are out to serve a far-left agenda while dragging a bountiful nation into the abyss.
-
So these two have plenty to chat about-
-
Actually, I think I respect Chavez more- he might be a misguided socialist twit, but at least he's honest about it.

If Obama is far-left, what does that make Tony Blair, Pierre Trudeau, Jacques Chirac, Andrea Merkel...? Communists? I guess a Reagan fetishist would probably consider Bush Jr. to have been a moderate president and Bush Sr. to have been a leftist, though not a far leftist.
It hurts the brain to read such sincere stupidity.
