Anti-US Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez predicted on Sunday the “black man” will win the US presidential race and offered to hold talks with him to improve ties between the superpower and one its biggest oil suppliers.
Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee who would be the first black US president if he wins Tuesday’s election, said this year he would be open to dialogue with leaders like Chavez – a remark that was seized on by Republicans as naive.
McCain, who trails Obama in polls, has labeled Chavez a dictator.
Chavez, a socialist who has mocked President George Bush and calls ex-Cuban leader Fidel Castro his mentor, has said there is an inevitable clash between US and Venezuelan interests, although he has at times offered to ease bilateral tensions.
“We are not asking him to be a revolutionary, to be a socialist — no,” Chavez said at a political rally. We just want the black man who is about to be the U.S. president to have enough stature for the times the world is living through.
“I send an overture to the black man, from us here, who are of Indigenous, black, Caribbean, South American race,” he said.
“I am ready to sit down and talk … I hope we can, and I hope we can enter a new stage,” he said later at another rally.

good company for Obama.
Fidel Castro has also given Obama his endorsement, as has Manuel Noriega.
Birds of a feather flock together.
people are so blind
If an American referred to Obama as “the black man” I hate to think what would happen to him.
Lets remember that Obama is 1/2 white 1/2 black and his complexion alone should have no bearing on your vote.
That being said his choice of friends in the past is frightening. And now with Chavez, Castro, etc. seeking his friendship we really have what to worry about.
May the Shomer Yisroel protect us from any Tzoros that may come along with an Obama presidency CHAS V’SHOLOM!!!

Obama is a stealth candidate who has been groomed for years by those who are pro Palestinians and who hate Israel. No one should be surprized if this man is elected he will work with Israel’s enemies. One of foreign policy advisors has stated that all the money the US gives to Israel should be stopped and given to the Palestinians, she also has stated the US should send troops to Israel to protect the Palestinians from Israel “genocide”. No Jew should support this man.
