Regardless of opinions of Hugo Chavez, whether an American loves him or hates him, I am an American and voted for the American President. When Hugo Chavez was voicing vitriolic hate against Americans, he wasn't just saying that about right-wingers. He was directing that animosity toward you and I on the left-wing as well. A person can criticize President Obama legitimately for not being progressive enough on some issues, but he is a leader on our side, and Hugo Chavez called Obama "ignorant", a "clown", and an "embarrassment."
