In video footage from Venezuelan state television that emerged Monday, the interaction between President Obama and President Hugo Chavez this past weekend at the Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago is shown to have not been all smiles and back-pats, as has been widely reported.
In the video, there seems to be a level of subtly awkward discord between the always-cool Obama and a rather peripatetic Chavez. A description from the Los Angeles Times notes:
No smiles in this exchange. In fact, Obama at first appears eager to walk away and is held back by Chavez. The American president then dominates the ongoing discussion and is seen gesturing with his right hand and pointing his finger several times at Chavez's chest.
No word yet from the White House on the contents of this little-known exchange.

I'm point my finger at you right now. And Obama was not point his finger at the man to get that point across. Typical random hand language is something Obama and millions of other people talk with. Let's not turn Obama into that much of a badass. If he was, he would have taken the book the V-leader handed him at the dinner table, and rejected it as trash, and left the table like any good president from the past would have. Stood up for their country.

"Quality"....................where in the hell you get that from?
I have nothing against him personally, but he is not better or qualified than the last three presidents we had. Matter a fact, he has less work experience and political experience than the CEO of General Motors and see what happened to them!

They will when they find out all the Liberal coo-coos are calling this a "tense exchange". Maybe for you pussies. I doubt if Chavez is going to be calling him "Diablo Negro!!!"

You're an idiot! Fox is the most honest news we have! Sure they lean a little right, but the Commie News Network, The Commie Brodcasting Service, ant the rest of the media are so far left you have no idea what's going on if that's where you get your news! At least Fox has a few liberals on staff!

Strange, perhaps your hiding your intensions. As an Israeli, you should be proud of FOX news, they're practically a living organ for Israeli posturing.

Obama: "Look, I am trying to turn the USA into a Socialist shithole like yours. Just shut the hell up and let me work on it. In the meantime, you need to repress the rich bastards in your country as much as you can. Kill them if you have to and have the Government take over everything. I will funnel as much money to you as I can, so stay off my back."
Chavez: "Cool"

Yea, and read the COMMUNIST MANIFESTO. Then, we would all know that Barrack Obama is NOT simply a socialist, he's a FASCIST COMMIE!!!
Taking money from the middle class and giving it to BANKERS, foreign and domestic GLOBALIST BANKER SCUM, while ignoring the poor altogether is NOT socialist, and it certainly isn't capitalist. Mousalinni described it best as FASCISM!!!
The government working for the corporations AGAINST the interest and the will of the people, that's what Barrack, Barry S More..

Did you forget that Bush was behind the first bailout?
Did you forget the republicans voted for the bailouts/stimulous bills as well? (After considerable pork was added to them)

do you even know what a redneck is? Or are you classifying republicans like War Vet John McCain as a redneck? Do you consider someone that has a weapon in their home for protection a redneck? Do you believe all these people should be living in Texas?... because you believe Texas to be pickup trucks, v8 engines, beef jerky and chaps? Do you mean just whites? what about Bush followers that are black? Are they rednecks? If so, are rednecks racist or are you totally changing the "redneck& More..

Here in Brazil the middle class families hates these fuckin' leftists, our president Lula is a close friend of this bastard Chavez, as well with Fidel Castro. Our president party is PT, a leftist party, almost all members from this party were involved in crimes during 70th, such as bank robbery, extortion, killing, etc.
