Chavez's gift to Obama
From the pool report: "I have a lot to learn and I'm very much looking forward to listening," POTUS says. He is seated at the head of a U-shaped table, with the leader of Chile to his right and Chavez all the way to his left, at the far end of the U.
When the pool entered the room Chavez was busy talking to other leaders. Then Obama spoke, and as the pool was being ushered out Chavez walked over to him. Obama stood up and Chavez handed him the book The book is: Las Venas Abiertas de America Latina (The Open Veins of Latin America), By Eduardo Galeano. A helpful Chilean delegate who did not want to be named described it as an academic book that is the basis for the 60s-era "dependency theory" that Latin America depends on the north.
The full book title in English is "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent." It's a politically influential text in Latin America, published in 1971, about the history of the region's reliance on nations such as the United States.

look at Obama lol, he has, "this is awkward" written all over him.
-
hope he reads the book and makes it required reading for all corporate ceos ;D

anyone else think this is a shady photo op?

for Hugo, Obama has that ambushed look and Hugo has that look of forcing the moment unexpectedly, which is in his style at events like this so not unexpected.
-
yeah, obama is being polite and hugo is being pushy.
i'm sure the far-right morons will say he's coddling up to terrorists. in reality, he's being cordial and polite to the leader of the world's 9th leading oil producing nation, half of whose oil is used by us despite our leaders' rhetoric.

Shit, I just noticed how much greyer Obama's hair has gotten. Wow. What a difference from a little while ago. Was he dying it before or what?

no, he had grey in there before. I think it depends on the lighting or something. I would see pictures just days apart during the election where you could see grey and then not. there's pictures from around inauguration where he looks really grey and then others not.
-
Sorry, but Obama is getting owned left and right down there.

ya no offense to anybody here but look at those photos he looks micheal jackson white in them, so i think its the lighting thats showing his grey.

Given that the book is in Spanish, you can understand the president's surprised look. Obama couldn't tell what it was or what the hell the book was about. I doubt Chavez's broken English helped in the short explanation. Chavez should have thought to have given President Obama an English translated version, given that they do exist.
Chavez definitely attempted to ambush Obama for a photo op, the sneaky fat bastard. :P As Obama later stated, he thought Chavez was giving him one of his(Chavez's) books, and Obama was thinking he'd return the favor later by giving him "The Audacity of Hope" or "Dreams From My Father."

yes, you really present yourself as a phd candidate in mechnical engineering who speaks 5 languages and enjoys hip hop music.
I see you haven't answered the Q either.

How can I be owned by you? Last I checked I proved you're a liar and ignorant many times before.
Do you really want me to answer your question? Last time I did that you cried about how I use weird stuff like Newton equations to prove you wrong.

He has all those qualifications?

He looks uncomfortable.

M.Sc E.E and I speak more than one language.
240 try to use his regular exaggeration bullshit to make his point, I never claimed any of what he said.
He tried the same with Iraq oil reservoir, he claimed 500+ Trillion barrels LOL , thats more than 1000 times the largest estimated amount, I called him on it and he evaporated from that thread ;D

I'm sick of Obama running around apologizing for America. He's an embarrassment. He gave a talk recently to a class of Turkish students where he proclaimed "America is not a Christian nation, America is not a Jewish nation, America is not a muslim nation . . . America is a nation of citizens who share values and ideals." So then I ask.... "O.K. then Barry, what values? What ideals?" I thought America was founded as a Judeo-Christian nation. I guess Obama wants us to go the way of Europe.
The international resentment towards the US, lack of cooperation and overall bad feelings globally was supposedly due to the arrogance of the Bush administration. So now we have elected The Chosen One ...Obama ...and has anything changed? Europe can't muster any support for our troops in Afghanistan. North Korea tests a multi-stage ballistic missile that would ultimately be capable of hitting west coast of U.S. .... our Security Council goes into emergency meeting but absolutely nothing comes out of it!!! Russia and China won't play ball. Nothing has changed, nothing will change. We have to look out for our own interests and our own security because Obama's liberal utopian vision is an illusion!
Thanks for listening.

America was founded on enlightenment principles.
Otherwise, sort of agree.

Obama is thinking "Dang, Hugo, time to lay off the candy bars!"
Funny how the president of a mostly obese country is skinny, while the president of a mostly hungry, skinny country is a fat bastardo. Hugo needs to own up to his babbling and share some of his food bought with oil money with the poor in Venezuela.

Did you see Obama's Kumbaya moment with Hugo Chavez on the news this morning? Good grief! I am very concerned about all this schmoozing with our enemies just because he wants to be liked... he is trying to appease North Korea, Cuba, Chavez in Venezuala, and the idiot in Iran.... and bows to the Saudi king. All he is doing is making us the laughing stock of the world.... they have all tested him... North Korea by flagrantly firing that missile, and Obama did nothing. Iran by going ahead toward having nuclear capability and ranting at the UN today about the "racist Israelis" and threatening to blow them off the map... and Obama wants to just talk to him..... The Russians, too, are testing the water saying they will stop any effort on our part to go ahead with the plan to put anti-missile technology in Poland and Czechoslovakia... and Obama backs down.
They are testing him, and he is obliging them by showing himself weak and indecisive. A bit reminiscent of Jimmy Carter. We need another Ronald Reagan.

Due to censoring they didn't show the picture after Obama bowed to Saudi Arabia king, he then turned around and let him put it up his ass, true story.
Anyway, Obama is a disgrace.

Will they scan the book for bugs :P

I'm sure the secret service will. I'm surprised the secret service didn't jump Chavez and kick his butt for approaching Obama like that, uninvited and with a questionable "gift."
I'm sure Chavez wouldn't intentionally want to hurt Obama like that, but who knows where or who Chavez got that book from? His FARC buddies maybe? :P

looks like I was spot on in my sarcasm. Somehow I knew you all would spin it like this ;D

I gotta say Grant... They may very well BE testing him, but the Koreans shot a rocket under Bush... What did Bush do?
Not much really... He chest thumped, but never did anything.
The only person he did anything to was Iraq and that didn't really do much.
These tests are just nothings... You need to have more than Chest thumping to drop the hammer on them... I don't feel like he's weak until something real happens and he does nothing.
These guys are just talking smack really and not doing jack... They're like kids... They push for little bits, but once they really get out of line, then you bust them up.

foreigners tend to be very pushy. Obama basically got punked by a dumbass socialist. He should have slap him in his double chin and told the dipshit Chavez to sit the fuck down. That's what a real American would have done.
-
Do you lift weights?
By the average person's standards... yes. By GetBig standards... no.
Do I "work out & train"... yes, By GetBig standards... no,
I've always taken care of myself in a way that's afforded me the benefit of getting away with stuff most can't,
...but then again, I'm fortunate to also have been born a part of the lucky gene pool. :)
