Sad: Hugo Chavez replacement wastes no time polishing his radical credentials

Perhaps Venezuela can find a socialist to run their country who is willing to moderate his hate of America. Let's send them Obama. 

Via CNS News:

[V]enezuela’s constitution now requires a new election within 30 days, and Capriles will almost certainly face the man Chavez named as heir to his “Bolivarian revolution,” Vice President Nicolas Maduro.

Maduro has wasted no time polishing his radical credentials, taking time out despite the gravity of Chavez’ situation this week to expel a U.S. Air Force attache accused of trying to destabilize Venezuela, and to allege a conspiracy by “the historical enemies of the country” to attack Chavez’ health.

The regime he has effectively been running also responded harshly to the Obama administration’s expression of “sympathy” for the ailing Chavez.

“The Bolivarian Government rejects the Pharisee attitude of those historical enemies of Hugo Chavez,” it said in a communique released on Monday. “They have always lavished hatred to him, insults and despise and they try now to use his health situation as an excuse to destabilize the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.”

The communique ended, “Long live Chavez!”
