Next Stop America. How much you wanna bet that Obama will declare a National Emergency with our Economic Crisis, proclaim Martial Law on America, and then make himself Dictator for Life Here? He’s Arrogant enough to do it.

Someone like Chavez is probably what the US needs after the Rich screwed everything up!

Wow! Chavez won! What a mindblowing bit of news! I never would have guessed that he would get to abolish term limits and continue on! What a complete and absolutely unexpected result! What was the margin? 99 percent YES and 1 percent undecided?

You do realize that by almost every measure conditions in Venezuela have gotten WORSE because of his socialist policies? There is no such thing as “trickle-up” wealth. But because of ignorant people like you who have been brainwashed by Obama’s class warfare rhetoric, we’re going to go down the same dark spiral Venezuela has been in for the last decade. It’s a testament to democrat’s complete ignorance that they can’t see the similarities.

Hey Sean Penn and all the other elite Hollywood types – you must be very happy that your boy is doing so well moving towards the ultimate Hollywood/Obama idea of a perfect society.

Richard / El Capitan I fear you are not far off from the truth.

Why cant we (as a people) learn from history? A few days back I heard one of the Dali Bamma’s spokesman on a show discussing the stimulus plan. When it was compared to FDR’s efforts that prolonged the depression and more recently Japan’s lost decade, he said this is different… because it’s bigger. Yah, that’s what was missing in previous attempts.

Of course, history shows us something else too. During times of [proclaimed] economic crisis, people make really bad political decisions, i.e Germany after WWI (not to invoke Godwin’s Law but you get the point)

Yeah Juno I can just see Chavez going after the democrat’s banker buddies. Did you see 60 minutes last night? When you watch the hearings on c-span ( I doubt you do) do you bother to look up these bank CEOs to see to whom they’ve given money to?

Es won’ t ist, lange zuvor der Führer dieses in Amerika wünscht. Hugo lässt vermutlich einige lose schrauben in diesem Erbsengrößengehirn von seinem. Aber die Hollywood-Leuteleute denken, dass er besser als geschnittenes Brot ist. Der Lord sollte Leute so beseitigen, aber ich schätze, der ist, warum es einen Himmel gibt. Heil zum Führer.

I think this is a great idea and I hope for the sake of our country B-HO does the same thing. He is the best thing that has ever happened.

This is what is coming to the good ol’ USA next. Saul Alinsky Obama has already put it into motion by taking the Census Bureau and putting it into the politicial arena by putting it into the hands of the 2nd biggest Chicago Politician…Rahm Emanual.

America…why is nobody saying anything about the Census Bureau…why is nobody forcing Saul’s hand to keep his hand’s off?

Once they start rearranging things for the vote…they will make sure that Saul is re-elected over and over again.

Let’s face it…he has the black vote. However, America, let us not forget that he didn’t get into power with the black vote…it was the stupid ill informed and uninformed “white” vote that got him in.

But the black vote will never turn their back on their “half black” President. Blacks always stand with black no matter what they do. How about OJ Simpson, how about the Mayors of Detroit, Washington, D.C. and Gary Indiana!

If Saul Alinsky Obama decides to drop an atomic bomb on one of our states, I would venture to say that the black community would say it was okay and they had it coming.

America…wake up…we need to stop this destruction that is on the move in our country!

JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER IN THE SOCIALIST “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN”!

Enzo   February 16th, 2009 - 3:04 pm

Just as Barack Hussein Obama is on a “3 day holiday” Huge-ass Chavez mysteriously “wins” another big win.

Don’t believe it… and don’t believe anything BHO says. They are both liars.

[...] I guess people really are stupid. And I guess its not only in America with all the braindead Obamabo…. President Hugo Chavez won a referendum to eliminate Sunday, enabling him to run again in 2012 and beyond in what critics fear is an attempt to become president-for-life. Fireworks exploded in the sky and caravans of supporters celebrated in the streets, waving red flags and honking horns. Thousands of people gathered outside Miraflores Palace, where the former paratroop commander appeared on a balcony to sing the national anthem and address the crowd. “Today we opened wide the gates of the future,” proclaimed Chavez, who has governed for a decade and vowed to rule for at least a decade more. “In 2012 there will be presidential elections, and unless God decides otherwise, unless the people decide otherwise, this soldier is already a candidate.” Chavez called the victory  which allows all public officials to run for re-election as many times as they want  a mandate to speed his transformation of Venezuela into a socialist state.
