They did shake hands!

http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D97KK2T00&show_article=1

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - Presidents Barack Obama and Hugo Chavez, Venezuela's socialist leader, met Friday and shook hands on the sidelines of a summit of their hemisphere's democracies.
Obama walked across a hotel meeting room to meet Chavez for the first time, said a senior U.S. administration official who witnessed it and spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the details of the event. The official said Obama initiated the encounter.

Chavez has been a fierce critic of the United States during President George W. Bush's tenure.

"It was very, very short," the official said of Friday's meeting. "The president shook his hand, smiled and then went back to his position in the line."

The encounter comes as Obama softens U.S. policy against Cuba, a Chavez ally.

Asked later about the meeting, Obama elicited laughter from reporters with a brief response: "I said, 'Como estas?'"

That's the familiar form of Spanish for "How are you?"

Chavez was more forthcoming with reporters.

...continued from where 240 left off

Chavez was more forthcoming with reporters.

"We shook each other's hands like gentlemen, and it was predictable this would happen," Chavez said.

"We don't have any complexes that would prevent us from extending our hands to each other. I'm grateful for his gesture."

Photos released by the Venezuelan government show the two smiling and Obama touching Chavez on the shoulder. Other photos show them with clenched hands in the room next to the main summit ballroom while the heads of state and government were waiting in line to enter the opening ceremony.

The Venezuelan presidency also said Obama initiated the handshake and quoted Chavez as telling Obama he hopes for better relations between their nations.

Chavez told reporters he had a simple message in English for Obama: "I want to be your friend."

Obama's comments were limited to saying that he wanted to introduce himself to Chavez, the U.S. official said. The Obama official would not comment on what Chavez told the U.S. president.

But when a reporter asked if the Venezuelan account of what happened was accurate, the Obama official said: "I wouldn't dispute that."

As recently as last week, Chavez expressed a desire to "reset" relations with Washington.

Looks to me like everyone loves this guy all over the world, ...except Republicans in America. $:-\$

I'm not his follower but since you swing of his nuts for about 20 hours per day you should know that.
Do you bow down to him before you go down on him?

How has he demonstrated "self-hatred"? If anything, his disgust at his governments hypocrisy & corruption reflects his hgh standards not self-hatred. He is not Hannity, and he is not his government. If anything, the willingness to go along with, and turn a blind eye to the corruption within his government would be a reflection of self-hatred.

You have to love yourself to demand the very best.

If we go by your definition and consider the products you like so much I guess you truly don't love yourself, well that's understandable.

On the contrary, ...I love myself, ...and I love my planet, ...I try to be a responsible steward of the earth
...and I have compassion for those unable to afford higher fuel prices.

It's a win / win / win situation all around. But if you knew anything about it, ...it would be obvious to you.

It's no secret that Obama is a communist sympathizer and embraces socialism. Hope the people (who got duped) are happy.
