nothing personal .. so we think?
“I couldn’t care less if he is there or not”
He can protest all he wants, but it’s totes obvious the Venezuelan president is crushing hard on Barack Obama.
President HUGO CHAVEZ said Friday he was totally indifferent about meeting US President BARACK OBAMA at the April 17-19 Summit of the Americas in Trinidad and Tobago.
“The reason I’m attending the summit is not that Obama’s there. I couldn’t care less if he is there or not, if we see each other or not,” Chavez told reporters at a public event in Caracas.
Chavez said his would go to the upcoming summit to “defend the integration of the Caribbean and Latin America and demand that the empire Obama leads lift its blockade of Cuba, abide by UN resolutions and condemn Israel.”
Since taking office January 20, Obama as US president has never met Chavez and it was unclear if he plans to attend the Latin American summit.
Chavez also repudiated Friday’s US State Department report critical of Venezuela’s human rights record, and said Obama and his Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton “should acknowledge” human rights violations in their own country and put a stop to them.
“I don’t care what Obama or his secretary of state have to say. Away with them and their cynicism.”
