Chavez to Obama: Let's be friends

President Barack Obama already is eager to become friendly with Cuba. Well, then, why not Venezuela? Venezuela's Hugo Chavez is the closest ally of Cuba. He sees himself as the new Castro.

The handshake above between the two world leaders look as if it is a secret friendly handshake at the Sumit of the Americas. It may not be, but that is as it appears to me. I'll wait for a video for a confirmation. Chavez even said to Obama during the handshake, according to Reuters, "I want to be your friend."

Obama does seem to be more friendly with socialist and fascist leaders than capitalist leaders. So we will see. The old United States was allied with the United Kingdom, and the new U.S. may be allied with Russia, Cuba and Venezuela, who would have figured? What would John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan think of this?
