Hugo Chavez: Obama�s a �clown� president
Hugo Ch�vez blasted President Barack Obama as a �clown� and an �embarrassment� who has turned the United States into a �disaster� after Obama criticized Venezuela�s ties with Iran and Cuba, according to a report Tuesday.
Ch�vez�s comments came in the wake of Obama�s Monday written interview with the Caracas paper El Universal, where the U.S. president questioned Venezuela�s connections to those countries. Ch�vez hit back strongly at Obama on state TV Monday, according to The Guardian, saying the president gave the interview only to �win votes� in the 2012 election.
�Mr. Obama decided to attack us,� Ch�vez said. �Now you want to win votes by attacking Venezuela. Don�t be irresponsible. You are a clown, a clown. Leave us in peace � Go after your votes by fulfilling that which you promised your people.�
�Focus on governing your country, which you�ve turned into a disaster,� Ch�vez said, according to The Guardian.
For all of Ch�vez' Marxist beliefs and for all that he has done for his own constituents, he is calling things as they are.
