Pool report from Politico:


More on the Obama-Chavez encounter in the pool report:

As they were lining up in reverse alpahbetical order by last name, Chavez was first. At this point, Obama walked across the room and introduced himself to Chavez. They chatted for a short time, and returned to line. When Obama returned to line he talked with President Bachelet of Chile and with President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva. Then Ortega walked into the room, past POTUS, and he stopped to introduce himself to POTUS. POTUS said it was "gusto" - ie, pleasure - to meet him.

FYI, Chavez website says Chavez and POTUS talked about their mutual desire to change the relationship of their countries. A senior administration official did not dispute this characterization.

1. Not a Chavez fan but a friendly greeting among heads of state should be expected.

2. Hey Freepers! What's worse than Obama pressing the flesh with President for Life?
President Obama for Life!

Relax. We're a democracy.*

5. Froward69, you are right
that is an African handshake. I did some research and both President Obama and President Chavez have African blood in them. Good catch.

Note the helmet-headed freeper in the corner, well, that is our (Canada's) little pride and joy, stevie boy, the ONLY one attending this Summit who would rather it be bush at the podium.




Edited to add missing word (and it wasn't freeper, lol)
