President Barack Obama recently made the startling comment that Mr. Chavez poses no threat to U.S. national security. Yet the Venezuelan dictator has shown off Russian weaponry and Iranian drones and extended his country's hospitality to Hezbollah, which has been permitted to establish training camps on Margarita Island.

Indeed, although the media are not trumpeting this fact, Chavez equated his race with that of the President Obama calling Mitt Romney a callous member of the capitalist elite. Of course, it should go without saying that Chavez's program of hope and change and left that country hopelessly shortchanged. Under the Chavez regime, there's been an increase in inflation by 27.5 percent (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/05/venezuela-annual-inflation-rose-2012_n_1187462.html), aggravated by a deluge of government spending. And then there's the whole discouragement of private investment thing, which Chavez's nationalizing of industry has tended to do.
How similar they are.
Except, Chavez doesn't rely on a teleprompter to think for him.
