Obama insults the U.K. ... draws praise from Chavez

Over the past couple of weeks President Obama has made some interesting choices regarding continuing our "special relationship" with our strongest ally the U.K. First there was the botched return of a bust of Winston Churchill loaned to the U.S. by the queen shortly after the 9/11 attacks as show of solidarity with America in our time of crisis.

Then for good measure he embarrased himself and our country with a poorly chosen gift for U.K. Prime Minister Brown during the customary gift exchange at the first meeting between the two leaders.

Meanwhile:

Caracas - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday called upon US President Barack Obama to follow the path to socialism, which he termed as the "only" way out of the global recession. "Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the United States," Chavez told a group of workers in the southern Venezuelan state of Bolivar. For more see:

How will Obama and the democrats further their Socialist agenda? As White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel put it... "You never want a serious crisis go to waste. This crisis provides the opportunity for us to do things that you could not do before." The things that Obama and his colleagues want to do - nationalized healthcare, a cap and trade tax on energy and a federalized education system are not going to fix the current economic situation. However, these policies will continue the national march toward socialism which the President and the Congress are orchestrating.
