Actually Jack, Chavez was no fan of our President:
Chavez's anti-American rhetoric, which reached a peak during the administration of former president George W. Bush, continued during the Obama administration.
After Obama voiced concern that Chavez's government had aided Colombia's FARC guerrillas, Chavez said Obama had "the same stench" as former president Bush.
For his part, Obama has said that now that Chavez is dead, perhaps relations between out two countries can improve.

Chavez was a tyrant in many ways, and now he's gone. Not to worry, we will never run out of tyrants.
But Obama is a fan of Chavez. He is attempting to do the same thing here that Hugo did in Venezuela.

Zam....Jack has ODS. Facts don't matter to those sufferers.

Indeed. Jack would not understand that it is perfectly rational, and intellectually consistent, for a person to loathe BOTH George W. Bush and Hugo Chavez.

Additionally Jack of course has set himself up as "God's Bailiff" on who goes to Hell and who doesn't.
Naturally, he has no real concept of the supposed Christianity he claims to believe in.

I don't know Jack. Perhaps they had a few things in common, but the President impresses me as being somewhat thin-skinned. I don't see him having great affection for someone who basically told him he stinks.
