Romney Afraid of Hugo Chavez

Romney's foreign policy is like Bush's. It's based on fear. Romney's scared of Hugo Chavez. Our foreign policy would regress under Romney, who appears to be scared of every country, except Israel. He's good pals with rightwinger Netanyahu.

In an interview with Miami Spanish-language anchor Oscar Haza, of América TeVe, President Obama briefly addressed a question about Venezuela’s ties to Iran, saying that we need to be “vigilant,” but that “what Mr. (Hugo) Chavez has done over the last several years has not had a serious national security impact on us.”

Republicans, particularly presidential candidate Mitt Romney, are jumping all over the comment.

The President told Mr. Haza that “”We’re always concerned about Iran engaging in destabilizing activity around the globe. But overall my sense is that what Mr. Chávez has done over the last several years has not had a serious national security impact on us.” Read Mitt's statement at Mediaite
