Coincidences and similarities between Hugo Chavez and Barack Obama

Hugo Chavez current Venezuela´s President

This next presidential election in the United States, makes me feel truly scared. It makes me remember the months before the presidential election in 1999, that chose Hugo Chavez as president of my country, Venezuela. Many years have passed since then, but I clearly remember that before the election I already had a feeling that the election of Chavez would be a big mistake for Venezuela. And it is, that indeed, the inconsistency of Chavez´s declarations, his demagoguery, his populism directed to the lower class and his hatred by those who had a good social position, made me think that something bad would come. Although I did not vote for him, now I must pay like all venezuelans for the actions he is taking as president, leading the country on a course that none of us wanted.

 

Barack Obama US Presidential Candidate

Now, living here in the United States, and after becoming an American citizen, I notice many similarities between Obama and what I saw in Hugo Chavez. Inconsistencies, lies, populism, increase taxes for the perceived wealthy, and hatred of “whites” (as expressed by his wife Michelle), made me think that Americans are on the verge of choosing a wrong president. And even though you do no vote for him, you will have to pay equally for the actions that he will take. Does it not make us fear that in truth Obama´s relations with radical terrorist organizations were real?, this is much more that what we saw in Chavez´s attitude and now we already see what he has become.

 

 

 

 

Although the president of the United States does not make all the decisions and a Congress exists that will not allow him to act freely, the simple fact that he has an attitude of non confrontation towards the countries that are a threat, gives them time to fortify and plan how they will attack us in a fatal way. And this, would be the least damaging thing that could happen. Do not imagine that true bonds do not exist with terrorism and he will help on the creation of terrorist centers in the country. Is this a terrible reality?

 

Well, the economic problem is nothing compared to this. Venezuelans who voted for change, did not want a president who handled the economy like it was done by the previous administrations. Many banks went bankrupt, people lost their life savings, insecurity, distress, all of these made us vote for change,….and what a change!

 

¡Do not commit the same error!. Do not elect a president that can put in risk the security of our country.
