CAMPO CARABOBO, Venezuela (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Saturday Barack Obama had the "stench" of his predecessor as U.S. president and was at risk of being killed if he tries to change the American "empire."
Most world leaders expect a new era of U.S. foreign relations when Obama, a Democrat, is sworn in as president on Tuesday after Republican George W. Bush's eight years in the White House.
But Chavez said frayed ties with Washington were unlikely to improve despite the departure of Bush, who the Venezuelan leader has often called the "devil."
"I hope I am wrong, but I believe Obama brings the same stench, to not say another word," Chavez said at a political rally on a historic Venezuelan battlefield.
"If Obama as president of the United States does not obey the orders of the empire, they will kill him, like they killed Kennedy, like they killed Martin Luther King, or Lincoln, who freed the blacks and paid with his life."
If one takes one's cues from the would be dictator of Venezuela one is truely detached from reality.
Is a fire fighter "guilty" of saving a baby from a burning building? What an Orwellian world we live in for that.Yes, but isn't that what Bush was guilty of.... not taking cues and working with the global community. This will be interesting to unfold after almost 2 years of being told that one only needs to chat these things through.
Poor Bambi.
Ok, that was funny, but I'm not sure if I actually get the connection.

To stop caring about world opinion is the best thing you could ever do.
Oh my, first the Iranians and now Chavez....
That's ok, I'm sure a conference call will clear everything up.
