President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela


"I want to be your friend," Mr Chavez told his counterpart.

Shortly after that announcement, White House officials said there would be no one-on-one meeting between the pair during the weekend summit. However, Press Secretary Robin Gibbs later said that, if Mr Chavez tapped Mr Obama on the shoulder, they would have a conversation.

1. I like this allot... I really don't think that Chavez is that bad of a guy.....
My thoughts are that he is doing more good for Venezuela and his people than he is doing harm. JMO of course.

2. Bush never learned the value of communication. Only the thrill of bullying.

But then no president since 1961 has had a clue how to deal with countries in our own hemisphere.
