Obama, with control of the Press, the Census, the Congress, the Senate, the nationalization of EVERYTHING, can this happen in America too?.....
CARACAS -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez removed a key obstacle to his plan to remain in office for life, convincing voters Sunday to approve constitutional amendments designed to allow indefinite re-election.

You changed the title from The Wall Street Journal. Guess you never heard of what it takes to change the Constitution. These scare tactics of changing titles are ridiculous and makes me wonder why.
Obama ran his campaign on the Chavez model and his Porkulus Bill is patterned on Chavez’s courting of the peasants for their votes, so BO must be very encouraged this morning that he, too, can look forward to being President-for-Life.
It is against FR policy to change titles of articles. It leads to legal issue Jim Rob does not need.
Actual title:
Venezuelans Approve Chavez’s Bid to Scrap Term Limits
Exactly what type of powder are you keeping dry?
You come on here in FEB 2009 and now change the title expecting everyone to fall in line to bash? Give us a break! Tell the people that pay your salary that it is not working. You guys are so obvious!
nice segue for a dope joke
President for Life.
Soo-prize!
All socialist/fascist/communist leaders are elected for life with 99.999999% of the vote.
When do we get the new amendment to the Constitution eliminating term limits for presidents-for-life?
...”can this happen to America too?”
It already has bub, it already has.
I’ll make a prediction, if obama remains in office for his
full term, then there wont be another presidential election.
“convincing voters Sunday to approve constitutional amendments designed to allow indefinite re-election”
democracy to abolish democracy. somehow i don’t think that was the idea.
Demagogue Obama is a close follower of Hugo Chavez. As the article states, Chavez's oil fueled paradise is running inflation rates of 35% or so, now that the free oil money has run out -- As it always does. The communist reforms have not worked. But nevertheless the Chavez goons succeeded in getting the referendum passed.
No word how many gulags are now open for dissenters. First comes reeducation then comes murder, as happens with all these socialist paradise. Frontline has a video called "The Hugo Chavez Show" which you should watch. The Obama-Operah Shows running live last week are close seconds. But they definitely proved to be amateur hour, and a man behind the curtain and a new teleprompter will be needed to conduct proper Professional Show level.
Remember all the boot lick liberals going to Venezuela and singing the praises of Chavez over the last few years? Well Obama is the real-life demagogue that is trying to make it happen here. Will America wake up and see it is going on in our won country.
Unless America gets back to it's basic principles, Fascism is the only outcome, where the government controls everything of importance.
Ping for later.
