No sweat for Obama. He's a "Wright-Winger" himself...

President Obama came to the Summit of the Americas pledging to "re-engage" with Latin America. He'd wanted to focus on the economy, energy, and security, but other issues ended up getting more attention as he shook hands with one of America's fiercest critics and called for a fresh start in relations with Cuba.
President Obama gets a surprise greeting from Venezuela's Hugo Chavez.
This dynamic played out today as President Obama met with the heads of state of the 12 countries of South America.
"I have a lot of learn and I very much look forward to listening and figuring out how we can work together more effectively," Obama said.
But in front of cameras, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez made a point today of giving President Obama a copy of a 1971 book that assails the "pillaging" of Latin America by Europe and the United States, a book the White House indicated the mono-lingual president is unlikely to read.
"I think it's in Spanish, so that might be a tad on the difficult side," said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

It is the Obama Kneepad Tour ‘09. Apologizing and groveling all across the globe. More knee time than Monica Lewinski.
I understand the book given to him by Chavez assailing the US was written by Bill Ayers.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
“I think it’s in Spanish, so that might be a tad on the difficult side,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.”
Echoes of an unplayable set of DVDs, eh?
” More knee time than Monica Lewinski.”
I like it.
This is where The Conservative Republicans should pack up and go and meet with with the new Govt. of Israel.
( Just like the rats always do running to hug Castro, Chavez or some murderous thug in the middle east,South America, or Russia, when a Republican is in the White House.)
And then announce to the world that our current out of touch l govt. does not stand with you, Or represent the real American people. But that we the people who made this Country great always have and always will.
It would be a nice touch. But I wouldn’t hold my breath. no workers, all mangrs.
“I have a lot of learn...”
Try the writings of George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin, not to mention several others aka the Founding Fathers. They’d catch you up to speed in no time as to what America is all about. Oh wait, that’s not what you care about.
Ya mean Obama doesn’t grok Spanish past “Si se puede”?
Obama like Jimmy Carter has never met a despot or dictator with whom he won’t associate, but does Jimmy one better by groveling to them.
I continue to be astounded that the President of the United States would actually tell another leader...a leader who has condemned this country AND called Obama himself an “ignoramus”... that he “has a lot to learn”....
too bad he didn’t tell that to the people in THIS country DURING the election when he poo-poohed any mention that he had no experience.
This guy is an absolute idiot
Hey! Baghdad Gibbs! Your Idiot, ZERO, is the one that asssailed Us Americans for only speakinh one language, English, and has badmouthed Us at every opportunity! So tell the Idiot to get Rosetta Stone and do some studing and learning instead of vacuuming the white dust up like a Hoover vacuum Cleaner:-)
ZERO graitates to Anti-American Crap Books just like he selected an Unrepentant Terrorist to write “HIS MEMOIR and “ALLEGED AUTOBIOGRAPHY”” for him. Now We Learn that the writer, William Ayers, must know him on a very close, personal level in order to write such a detailed Tome, and now this week, We learn that Mr Ayers has a very close, personal, and working relationship with a Leading Terrorist Dictator, Hugo Chavez who is a self declared Enemy of The United States and Democracy! Imagine that! and then Obana gives Chavez a warm brotherhood handshake, you just can’t make this Crap UP!
If that is indeed the case, Obama probably already has an autographed personalized copy in his library.
Well you do have to give him some credit because, He is the first President in the history of this country to use this foreign policy approach of groveling, begging for forgiveness and appologizing not just to our allies but to our very enemies and the enemies of Democracy.
Most likely he has forgotten that in this world there are regimes that want to be the power brokers, there are enemies that cannot be negotiated with and want us destroyed, apparently he intends to play right into their hands.
God Help Us All.
Here! Here!
A truly disgusting display.
The most embarrassing time in American history.
That line is a keeper.
I’d have given Chavez a copy of “Guide to the Perfect Latin American Idiot” by Plinio Apuleyo Mendoza, Carlos Alberto Montaner, and Alvaro Vargas Llosa
Japan TV also showed him accepting the anti-US book from Chavez with a big sh*t eating grin and handshake. This guy is a real work of art, isn't he?
Pick up a copy of the Arabic version, then. Or Indonesian. He's a mono-lingual president alright, he speaks in one tongue, a forked one. Lashon hara. The language of the Teleprompter of the Tower of Babel.
Yikes! Has that been photoshopped?
No, not to my knowledge. It is legit.

Obozo practically LEVITATED OUT OF HIS SEAT TO RUSH to chavez and grab the book.
Our president — is there any America-hater whose *ss he won’t kiss?
Well it all makes sense when you see Obama's answer to "What did you think of the book?" That's at 00:29, but watch the [arrogance from] the beginning.
It's a good thing Arafat is dead. The kissy-lips under that greasy kaffiyeh would be too much.
B.O. is a national stench that just won’t wash off. “Embarrassing odor” is an understatement; the olfactory assault continues unabated.
Did Chavez really call Obama an ignoramus in the past?
hahaha at least there is some comedy among the tragedy.
Pres. Obama should have slipped Chavez a small copy of the U.S. constitution immediately thereafter from his breast pocket, and suggested Chavez look it over for some good ideas. THAT would have been priceless.
“I think it’s in Spanish, so that might be a tad on the difficult side,” said White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.
Laughing, Gibbs added, “ Kinda like CDs you can’t play, haha.”
I would, but then, I'm an old warrior who should probably
be in a monastery by now.
Remember the Logan Act, not that it applies to Nancy Pelosi or other Democrats, but you can bet it'd apply to Congressional Republicans.
CNN anchors still seem to be very happy with the “NEW” approach and the marvelous dawn of a new era of peace and luuuv...
No doubdt that democracy ,freedom,civilization,progress...will increase soon in CUBA VENEZUELA IRAN RUSSIA CHINA....
Meanwhile iranians are building their nuclear bombs...Isn’t cooool?
Those stupid libtards will make USA appear as STUPID.
Republican “leaders” should better wake up or be AWAKENED HARSHLY by american people
Well, he has a lot to learn, anyway.
Obama, the useful idiot... Scratch that. Make that, Obama, the idiot. He's a willing accomplice.
*O* probably already has read that book!
Barry and Jimmah~~ “I never met a Communist Dictator I didn’t like”
Ummmm, excuse me??? We in the Southwest are forced to have bilingual signs cluttering the stores, bilingual labeling on products, and most jobs here are advertised as "bilingual" or "bilingual-only."
But the elites such as this "king" don't need to speak Spanish??
Yep, and if he can’t read that copy he can buy one at amazon for only $12.24 right now!
I am sure it will be mandatory reading for his staff
He’s on his South American dictatour, kissing every tyrant’s ring he can spot.
I thought Obama was fluent in other languages. Just more phony about him. He is not so global.
You got it, so true!
Remember this?
“But understand this, instead of worrying about whether immigrants can learn English, they’ll learn English, you need to make sure your child can speak Spanish.” —— BO

LOL, how smart is this guy again? Over-educated to the point of idiocy but couldn't find time to learn a foreign language (or even try)? Even Bush could do that.
