Is Chavez smarter than Obama?

Hugo Chavez is learning that it’s hard to buy friends, when you don’t have the money to do so. It seems that a drop in oil prices has him placing all of the countries he would eventually like to own, on a diet. Obama on the other hand just prints more money to pass along to those that voted for him, a sort of “quid pro quo” if you will.

In recent years, Chavez has used his nations oil wealth to drive his social-inspired agenda at home and to draw other countries in the region into his sphere of influence, helping to consolidate a leftward political shift in Latin America. At present, more than a dozen projects intended to broaden his nations reach are on hold. These projects include a gas pipeline across the continent and at least eight refineries from Jamaica to Uruguay.

While Chavez has placed his country in a sort of cruise mode, Obama seems content to push America right off a cliff into the largest debt ever seen by any country in the history of the world. He is enslaving not only the current population, as well as all future generations till the end of time, just to promote his socialist agenda. He is printing so much money, that soon, China won’t touch our bonds, or invest any more money, into a country it practically already owns.

While Obama, an amateur socialist, continues to spend money that we do not have, Chavez, a professional socialist, seems to know better. He seems to understand that you can’t spend what you don’t have.

So my questions are these. If we are going to have a socialist president, would we not be better off with a professional socialist? Would we not be better off with a president that knows when to stop spending? Would we not be better off with a president that would lead us down a more energy independent path, and “Drill baby drill”

In closing, may I suggest we run Chavez for president in 2012? It would certainly be a step towards a more finically responsible government.

After all, it’s not like you need a birth certificate to run for president of the United States.
