What's the difference between Obama and Chavez?

[ScienceRocks]

I want a discussion on the differences between the policies of President Obama and President Hugo Chavez. I think the only difference is the fact Hugo Chavez has far more power. Obama only had two months with a free hand in the congress....Chavez 14 years.

A few similar points
-Both want to transfer wealth from rich to poor
-Both want to tax the rich
-Both want to give free stuff to the poor
-Both want a more centralize central government
-Both want to nationalize energy, health, ect.

Is this a trick question? I don't have an answer. Maybe Obama was quicker to transfer more power to himself, but he had more help. Otherwise, they are interchangeable.

republicans getting desperate....well one difference is Chavez isn't a power hungry asshole. He actually takes the profits from the oil sales and helps the poor people..Obama just makes people poorer.

What a crock.

If you're going to state something as fact, you need to come prepared with FACTS.

Republicans gave Chavez the right to pour unlimited money into our elections. Try to think about how.

So the rich gave up a little and the poor get a livable wage...

 

[Big Black Dog]

Both Chavez and Obama are idiots BUT the difference is Chavez has something of a clue as to how to be a dictator. Obama is only trying to be a dictator.
