Hugo Chavez Endorses Democrat for U.S. President

From Reuters:

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a socialist and fierce U.S. critic, warned on Tuesday that relations with Washington could worsen if Republican candidate John McCain wins this year’s presidential election.

Chavez said he hopes the United States and Venezuela can work better together when his ideological foe, U.S. President George W. Bush, leaves the White House next year, but he said McCain seemed “warlike.”

“Sometimes one says, ‘worse than Bush is impossible,’ but we don’t know,” Chavez told foreign correspondents. “McCain also seems to be a man of war.”

Chavez -- who has called Bush “the devil”, “a donkey” and “Mr Danger” -- accuses the United States of having imperial designs in Latin America and says the White House has plotted his overthrow.

We are sure Hillary and Obama appreciate the endorsement.
