CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez on Tuesday dared the U.S. government to expel his ambassador from Washington in response to Venezuela's rejection of the White House's choice for ambassador in Caracas.

Chavez reiterated that he will not allow the U.S. diplomat Larry Palmer to be ambassador, and said "if the government is going to expel our ambassador there, let them do it!" He added: "if they're going to cut diplomatic relations, let them do it!"

Ahh man...c'mon, give me a solid...

Fine then boycott his crappy gasoline also.

[B4Ranch]

Let’s do it!

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Please think twice about buying gas at a citgo.

[Cisco Nix]

Don't mess with Obama, he just may do it!!!

[tcrlaf]

Meanwhile, our Dear Reader Obama makes us even MORE dependent on imported Venzuelean gasoline because of idiotic Democrat energy policy.

I’ve been boycotting citgo for years. Once was riding on fumes and passed a citgo looking for any other gas station. Made it to an Exxon/Mobile. Barely.

Even though I have drank nothing, nor smoked nothing, nor eaten any funny looking mushrooms, nor swallowed any questionable looking pieces of paper, the concept of Chavez thinking that O’Bummer would drop diplomatic ties with Chavez, makes me think my screen is melting, with lots and lots of trails

We can’t since we shut down gulf production. Yea I know, Obama did it too!

[goldstategop]

Let Comrade Hugo go ahead. He hates us so it would no great loss to America if he kicked out our Ambassador.

We do need a “reset” of relations with Venezuela and soon!

Fine, then boycott his crappy gasoline also.

0bummer will not take any action against his, and Sean Penn's bud, Hugo.

Never happen, DumBO would have to go to Zimbabwe for dictators lessons.

[mmercier]

How low on the totem pole must one be to be “awarded” the position of Ambassador to Venezuela...?

Even in this rotting administration, one should at least get a shot at czar of early release child molesters or something.

It sucks to be sent to a place where you have to carry your water in.

[VeniVidiVici]

Notice how Chavez’ balls get bigger every time oil prices go up?

[Carley]

Cut ties???? They’re blood brothers.

[Nitehawk0325]

It seems to me a perfect time for us to cut his balls off. At the same time, we should cut off Zero's balls too. (Unless Michelle has them locked up in a box somewhere) Cut their balls off by starting oil production back up in the Gulf and stop sending aid money to Chavez.
I know, I know. It is almost a new year and aren't we allowed to make a wish that our own president had the balls to do something to actually help our country, not screw it up.

[Clock King]

The only reason I can think he is saying this is prop up himself with the masses back home. He’s in trouble and like any good commie, he trying to grab all the power before the people turn on him. This statement isn’t meant for us, it’s meant for the Venezuelan dumb masses that keep a monster like him in power.

I have noticed that Chavez and Obama play off each other. When Obama nationalizes a private sector, Chavez is close behind and when Chavez grabs power or media control, Obama is close behind.

These two guys are like brothers in a competition.

2 years to go.
