CARACAS - Venezuela's communist leader Hugo Chavez said on Sunday that Obama had done nothing beyond wishful thinking to earn the Nobel Peace Prize. Chavez, who has mixed praise for Obama personally with criticism of his government's "imperialist" policies, said he thought it was a mistake when he read the U.S. leader had won.
"What has Obama done to deserve this prize? The jury put store on his hope for a nuclear arms-free world, forgetting his role in perpetuating his battalions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and his decision to install new military bases in Colombia," Chavez wrote in a column.
"For the first time, we are witnessing an award with the nominee having done nothing to deserve it: rewarding someone for a wish that is very far from becoming reality."
Chavez said giving Obama the Nobel award was like giving a baseball pitcher a prize simply for saying he was going to win 50 games and strike out 500 batters. Although mild compared to some of the virulent rhetoric he often uses against the United States, Chavez's criticism contrasted with the assessment of his mentor, Fidel Castro.
The former Cuban leader said it was "a positive measure" that implied criticism of the "genocidal" policies of Obama's predecessors in the White House. Though Caracas and Washington have hostile political relations, the United States remains the main buyer of oil from the OPEC member nation.
Chavez, Castro, the public and the MSM are missing is the big picture. Winning the Nobel, the UN declaring ‘MAJOR DISCREPANCIES’ in the Afghan election & Obama delaying the additional troops decision is all by design. Obama applied for the Nobel Piece Prize and was told he would win, back on Feb. 1st. Fully aware of the date of the Nobel Piece Prize announcement he would delay any decision on Afghanistan. He will then use the UN declaration, winning the Nobel and his hatred for America to back out of Afghanistan or do little as possible (I hope I am wrong). Welcome to change: The UN and liberal Europeans are dictating US policy and pushing Obama around.

Obama is the biggest threat to America since the Soviet Union and he has the vision of Hitler.
