Barack Obama And Hugo Chavez Link Arms On Iran

I am not surprised.

Chavez indicated that he had spoken to Ahmadinejad during the week to congratulate him. Another report in Cyberpresse mentioned that Venezuela's Foreign Policy Minister had strong words of condemnation for the 'ferocious and unfounded campaign of discredit that was activated by foreign powers against Iranian institutions'.

Ironically, he also lauded President Obama for his restraint regarding the outcome of the Iranian election, and gave him a further compliment for having lashed out at FOX News during his interview with MSNBC's John Harwood. The President mentioned during that interview that he had one television station entirely devoted to attacking his administration.
