President Obama has received Hugo Chavez’s seal of approval. Speaking on Venezuelan state TV, The socialist strongman said, “If I were American, I’d vote for Obama.” Chavez added that if Obama were Venezuelan “he’d vote for Chavez.”
For good measure, Chavez called Obama “a good guy.” Well, it’s a mutual admiration society. Let’s not forget that Obama once referred to Chavez as “mi amigo.”
Well, I hope Mitt Romney reminds voters of Chavez’s endorsement at every possible opportunity especially during the foreign policy debate on October 22nd.

The Muslim Brotherhood endorsement will be the jewel in the crown. What's taking them so long? Maybe it will be Obama's late October "surprise."

"The socialist strongman said, 'If I were American, I'd vote for Obama.'"
Under the rules promulgated by the Holder Justice Department, merely not being American is not a barrier to Mr. Chavez's exercising his franchise early, often and almost everywhere. There is no reason to limit himself to only endorsing his fellow traveler, and I imagine he expects some reciprocity in his own upcoming election.
