Venezuelan Socialist President Hugo Chavez Says He Would Vote for Barack Hussein Obama in the 2012 Presidential Election

File this one under, birds of a feather flock together and water seeks its on level …

Here is a ringing endorsement that undecided and Independent voters should take notice of when casting a ballot this November for President. The socialist leader of Venezuelan, Hugo Chavez, stated that if he was an American, he’d vote for Barack Obama.  With the ‘big” government, Nanny state, cradle to grave dependency agenda of Barack Obama, is it any reason why a socialist would vote for Obama.

“If I were American, I’d vote for Obama,” Chavez said in a televised interview that aired Sunday.

The Venezuelan leader called Obama “a good guy” and said if the U.S. president were a Venezuelan, “I think … he’d vote for Chavez.”

“After our triumph and the supposed, probable triumph of President Obama, with the extreme right defeated here and there, I hope we could start a new period of normal relations with the United States,” he said.

“Obama recently said something very rational and fair … that Venezuela is no threat to the interests of the United States,” he added.
