Heh. Krauthammer just couldn’t stand the comparison of Obama to Teddy Roosevelt (Teddy Roosevelt!?). With his constant class warfare against the rich, K says, Obama is lots more like Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chávez.
And, if memory serves, they are pals, are they not, even exchanging autographed copies of their fraudulent autobios? And, remember when Obamalot got so upset when the Hondurans ousted their Marxist dictator? Yeah, nevermind, memory-hole stuff, I know.

The P-3s are advertised as sub hunters but anybody who remembers the one that was downed flying along China’s border a few months before 9/11 may remember that it was packed with computers for listening to digital and analog communications.
Course it’s a bit hard to imagine Hugo’s regime being particularly sophisticated enough to warrant P-3 snooping. Which makes our denial more than plausible for once. I do wish Chavez & Co. didn’t have F-16s, but that’s neither here nor there now. Worse is Hugo’s new ties with Iran.

Like some others, I don’t have any problem with Barry thumb-wrestling with Mad Hugo. ‘Cept I hope he washed his hand afterward. Discreetly, of course. I could also deal with a White House invite. There’s ample precedent. Afterall, Clinton invited Arafat, the world’s oldest terrorist, and Hilarity even kissed the murderer on his fuzzy, wrinkled cheek. Long as Barry leaves it at that. Not sure if Michelle would want to, however.
That would be the first step for gasoline and diesel consumers to take between now and November, when Russia plans to send warships to Venezuela for an offshore military exercise. It should be considered an act of war, but one with a simple solution. Next, as the Seablogger suggests, President Bush should start milking the strategic reserve, so we can cease buying oil from Hugo Chavez until early spring. That should be long enough to collapse the Venezuelan economy, bring Hugo down, and send an unmistakable message to his successor. None of which would be necessary, of course, if we were sensibly drilling for oil to replace the purchases that keep dictators like Hugo in business.

Keep it up. Cut into Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez’s budget. Keep his troops and tanks at home.

…end his oil addiction. It’s something we all can do.
"Convenience store operator 7-Eleven Inc. is dropping Venezuela-backed Citgo as its gasoline supplier at more than 2,100 locations and switching to its own brand of fuel…Citgo is a Houston-based subsidiary of Venezuela’s state-owned oil company…"
Sorry, Houston, but y’all can back another horse.
