Chavez Tells Obama He Should Follow Venezuela’s Socialist Path
By Daniel Cancel

March 6 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez comments on U.S. President Barack Obama and the state of the U.S. economy. He made the remarks today on Venezuelan state television.

“It’s regrettable the crisis that the U.S. is living through. Millions of workers are being left in the street, thousands of companies are closing, in the U.S. there isn’t a single new infrastructure project. Go look for a highway there, the country has gone bust.”

“Now President Obama arrived with some announcements, hopefully, but the capitalist model and its perverse values have failed.”

“I recommend to Obama -- they’re criticizing him because they say he’s moving towards socialism -- come Obama, ally with us on the path to socialism, it’s the only road.”

“Imagine a socialist revolution in the U.S. Nothing is impossible.”

    Chavez is a radical socialist that wants to control EVERYTHING in his country. Obama believes in capitalism and unwaveringly supports free enterprise and free trade.

    Obama is just getting started and he will not stop until we are all in the poorhouse except for him and his elite followers. His dumb followers are the going to be the ones asking what happened. I thought he was going to send me a check every month, pay my light bill, and give me gas money. Why am I living under a bridge? Because you are a dummy and believed a lying politician who would promise you the world to get elected.

    Chavez can't teach Barack Obama anything he doesn't already know about socialism, in fact President Obama could probably teach Chavez a thing or two.

    Face it, Obama's mother was known to friends as a "fellow traveler" (for the uninitiated that means someone who sympathizes with socialism/communism). His own self-proclaimed "mentor" as a teenager was a radical, card-carrying member of the Communist Party USA, Frank Marshall Davis, at a time the CPUSA took its orders from Moscow.

    Obama learned his skills at "community organizing" from the teachings of another radical socialist, Saul Alinsky, author of the book "Rules For Radicals." Leaving aside his association with the radical Bill Ayers, Obama sat for twenty years, two decades, listening to the radical sermons of Marxist-inspired Black Liberation Theology.

    It would be more surprising if Obama turned out NOT to be a Marxist-socialist, not that he is one - he is four for four, with all of the major influences in his life being Marxists.

    8. Contact ALL MEDIA and make it known that WE the American People will not stand for further abuse of the Constitution and our liberties!
    Our next move is to organize PEACEFUL demonstrations all over the country. In every township, city, and if necessary at the very steps of the White House and Congress. This is our RIGHT!
    There are Approximately 90 MILLON Gun Owners in the United States. We have a VOICE and we have the power to stop this ASSUALT!
    This Move by Obama is the final straw. The American People have been under assault from Jan. 20th. Obama has Spent TRILLONS of taxpayer dollars that do not exist; He has spit in the eyes of trusted allies (Britain, Israel). He has constantly lied to the American People. He has driven down the Stock Market to lows that have broken most retirement plans. He has driven a wedge between the races and is now contemplating granting AMNISTY to MILLONS of ILLEGALS that will further burden the American taxpayer .He is taxing the very idea of success and hard work. Last, he has thrown down the drain the lives of the unborn through ABORTION!
    This Country was founded on the premise that life and liberty is sacred.
    America’s achievements are not thru giveaways but thru hard work. That responsibility and a strong belief in the Creator and the Constitution will be the guide to America’s success!
    We will win this fight! But we must do it together! Send this letter to all, print and pass it out.
    LIVE FREE or DIE!!!!!!!

    I have read the definition of socialism on paper the theory dosn't look
    bad but unless you have lived it ( I Have) you don't have a clue.
    Russia ,China and many other countries has given up that type of
    economy and switched over to capitalism and thier economies have thrived
    The united states has the best standard of living in the world. (socialism dosn't work) It takes away insentive.
    This is the land of opportunity every one has the freedom in this country to to work hard and make a better life for themselves and their family. Yes we all pay taxes , But why should we pay the kind of taxes that liberals want . Yes this country should help People that
    can't work but why do they want to take more from the hard working
    people to pay for the lazy ones. I am not rich and if you think Obama
    is only going to raise taxes on people that are rich you are nuts.
    He is going to pass that cap and trade nonsense witch is a global warming tax and that will cost all of us because it will raise energy prices, and when energy prices go up that affects everything.
    This country is great because it's people are free. And every man and woman
    that have given up thier lives to keep this country free would be rolling over in thier graves if they new what the people of this country are about to let happen.

    That's how liberals operate. Rather than looking at the true, realistic results of the system at work and failure, they look at the idealistic notion behind the theory. On paper, a lot of things look good but in practice, few ever work like they are written.

    Russian Professor Predicts end of the United States
    MOSCOW – If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

    Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

    "There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.

    The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia's Federal Space Agency and reportedly an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the U.S. that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin.

    Russian Professor Predicts end of the United States
    MOSCOW – If you're inclined to believe Igor Panarin, and the Kremlin wouldn't mind if you did, then President Barack Obama will order martial law this year, the U.S. will split into six rump-states before 2011, and Russia and China will become the backbones of a new world order.

    Panarin might be easy to ignore but for the fact that he is a dean at the Foreign Ministry's school for future diplomats and a regular on Russia's state-guided TV channels. And his predictions fit into the anti-American story line of the Kremlin leadership.

    "There is a high probability that the collapse of the United States will occur by 2010," Panarin told dozens of students, professors and diplomats Tuesday at the Diplomatic Academy — a lecture the ministry pointedly invited The Associated Press and other foreign media to attend.

    The prediction from Panarin, a former spokesman for Russia's Federal Space Agency and reportedly an ex-KGB analyst, meshes with the negative view of the U.S. that has been flowing from the Kremlin in recent years, in particular from Vladimir Putin.

    Putin, the former president who is now prime minister, has likened the United States to Nazi Germany's Third Reich and blames Washington for the global financial crisis that has pounded the Russian economy.

    Panarin didn't give many specifics on what underlies his analysis, mostly citing newspapers, magazines and other open sources.

    He also noted he had been predicting the demise of the world's wealthiest country for more than a decade now.

    But he said the recent economic turmoil in the U.S. and other "social and cultural phenomena" led him to nail down a specific timeframe for "The End" — when the United States will break up into six autonomous regions and Alaska will revert to Russian control.



    Panarin argued that Americans are in moral decline, saying their great psychological stress is evident from school shootings, the size of the prison population and the number of gay men.

    Turning to economic woes, he cited the slide in major stock indexes, the decline in U.S. gross domestic product and Washington's bailout of banking giant Citigroup as evidence that American dominance of global markets has collapsed.

    "I was there recently and things are far from good," he said. "What's happened is the collapse of the American dream."

    Panarin insisted he didn't wish for a U.S. collapse, but he predicted Russia and China would emerge from the economic turmoil stronger and said the two nations should work together, even to create a new currency to replace the U.S. dollar.

    Asked for comment on how the Foreign Ministry views Panarin's theories, a spokesman said all questions had to be submitted in writing and no answers were likely before Wednesday.

    It wasn't clear how persuasive the 20-minute lecture was. One instructor asked Panarin whether his predictions more accurately describe Russia, which is undergoing its worst economic crisis in a decade as well as a demographic collapse that has led some scholars to predict the country's demise.

    Panarin dismissed that idea: "The collapse of Russia will not occur."
    But Alexei Malashenko, a scholar-in-residence at the Carnegie Moscow Center who did not attend the lecture, sided with the skeptical instructor, saying Russia is the country that is on the verge of disintegration.

    "I can't imagine at all how the United States could ever fall apart," Malashenko told the AP.
