Hugo Chavez Urges Venezuelans to eat less

What’s the obsession Progressives have with food? NYC Mayor Mike Bloomberg wants to ban salt and is always lecturing New Yorkers about eating Healthy. His fellow Progressive Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is also urging his people to eat less. The irony is that Mr. Chavez himself is not exactly the epitome of being lean. So his lecturing on food intake is actually quite laughable.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez urged Venezuelans on Sunday to cut their calories to avoid obesity – the latest lifestyle recommendation by the self-proclaimed socialist crusader.

Chavez has lobbied in recent weeks against what he calls the evils of capitalism, including alcoholism, breast implants and violent television programs.

“Be careful with weight gain!” warned Chavez on Sunday, speaking during his weekly television and radio program. “We are eating better, that’s been proven. We’re leaving malnutrition behind. It no longer exists in the country, but be careful with obesity.”

Typical Progressive hypocrisy. Do as I say and not as I do. Bloomberg and Chavez should live up to what they are lecturing others to do. Maybe with Bloomberg’s money , they can start a Gym chain. Hugo Chavez can sing for the commercials and have Charles Johnson as his guitarist. Maybe Chuck will join the Gym and get in shape!

He has no problem chumming around with Hugo Chavez, meeting with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad no matter what he does or says, bowing to the King of Saudi Arabia, hiding 200 million dollars in a supplemental to go to Hamas, lunching with Edward Said, or extending a hand to Cuba, but President Obama refuses to meet with Israel’s Prime Minister during his visit to the United States.

If anyone still had any doubt, Obama is making his allegiances very clear.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Sunday canceled his plans to attend the upcoming AIPAC summit, after it became clear that US President Barack Obama would not meet him during the conference.

Netanyahu announced that while he will not attend the conference in person, he will send a video-taped message to Washington.

Army Radio reported that the prime minister asked President Shimon Peres to represent Israel at the summit, scheduled to take place in Washington in the beginning of May.

According to the radio station, sources in the president’s bureau confirmed that Peres had received a request from Netanyahu and AIPAC officials to attend the summit, but noted that the president had not yet decided whether to accept the invitation.

I guess you have to be an enemy of the United States to get any respect from this present Administration.  (As we found out early in his term, that meant no time for American soldiers as well).   It is looking more and more prophetic everyday what Ali Abunimah from The Electronic Intifada, said on March 4, 2007 about Obama’s pretending to be a friend of Israel just to get elected (and I guess now just to lull his naive Pro-Israel supporters into complacently).

This is a Government that said it likes to hear from its citizens.  I say you contact them and let them know how you feel.

The Russo-Chinese threat in Latin America

This is very important. While the US has its army 1/2 a world away, something sinister is brewing closer to home. The Russians and Chinese are making inroads into Latin America. We are doing nothing. We are so concerned about defending Europe and Arab oil, that we are not watching the threat that is closer. America needs to be more concerned over our own hemisphere. We can’t let Russia and China flank us. It could cost us dearly in the future.

Russia, China, Move In on Latin America

Today’s arrival of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev on a two-day visit to Venezuela to meet with President Hugo Chavez is a stark reminder that potential problems aren’t always “Over There.”

The assertive political, economic and security overtures by Russia – and China, by the way – in the Western Hemisphere mean we had better pay close attention to our own ‘hood in the coming years.

The Latin American jaunt is clearly meant to exert Russia’s self-image as a world – not just regional – power. (Moscow is jousting with Beijing, Washington and Brussels for influence in places like Africa, too.)

This is very alarming.

Cuban and Venezuelan leaders welcomed the news of Barack Obama’s huge win on Tuesday.
Iran Press TV reported:

Cuba and Venezuela, two countries known for their criticism of US policies are now expressing satisfaction over Barack Obama’s victory. 

“If Obama takes some action to ease the embargo, it would be welcomed and of course it would be of help, but we’re prepared for conditions to remain the same,” Cuba’s Foreign Investment Minister Marta Lomas said Wednesday in a statement. 

There is optimism about Obama’s declaration during his campaign that he would be ready to talk about easing restrictions on travel and on remittances the money US Cubans send to family and friends in Cuba. 

Former Cuban leader Fidel Castro who remains first secretary of the ruling Communist Party, on Tuesday called Obama “intelligent, well-educated and composed” in an endorsement released in the official press.

Meanwhile… Iran is urging Barack Obama to keep his promises and make fundamental changes in US foreign policy.
Iran is looking forward to a US troop withdrawal from the region.
