Barry O's BFF and the Jews and Catholics

Daggumit, looks like Hugo doesn't like the Jews and Catholics...just like that other dictator whose name started with an "H." These are some embarrassing pals you've got Barry, but I am sure if you just "talk to them without pre-conditions" they'll come around and actually start re-building the synagogues and restoring the damage done to the papal nuncio. Maybe they can get this covered at their next book club meeting...

Articles 53 and 57

Shame that Barry's charm and Flip Wilson bump skills couldn't convince the Venezuelan coca-chewing dictator to sign on to the little bitty statement (66 pages) that is being called the "Declaration of the Summit of the Americas." What could possibly be bothering Hugo? Well, he and his pal, Danny Ortega, who spent the better part of an hour spewing venom on the United States don't like the following two articles in the declaration:

53. We reaffirm our commitment to the defense, protection and promotion of human rights and to the independence and strengthening of the Inter-American System of Human Rights.

57. We recognise the important role of the OAS in the peaceful resolution of our differences and in support of the objectives of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. We commit to improve the capacity of the OAS in its efforts to assist in enhancing peace and the democratic, social and economic stability of our region.

Hmm, "promotion of human rights," and "peaceful resolution" must be phrases that are anethma to these thugs. That Barry wants to sweeten up to them is only further evidence that he is either a) frightfully naive or b) that he agrees with their philosophy. I opt for c) he is both.

This was a shameful display by our President. Never once speaking out to defend the principles of freedom and democracy that are the real keys to success. Last week he had Jefferson spinning in his grave...this week, Monroe and Madison take a spin.
