The Chavez Shake
What do people here think about the small news sensation made over Obama shaking hands and accepting a book from Chavez last week?http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/Also, what of the recent junket to Cuba made by members of Congress (all Democrats, I believe), wherein Castro was praised quite mightily?My opinions on the above aren't firm--I'm openly curious as to what others think. I do think it is irresponsible for a Pres. of the USA to shake hands with a brutal dictator like Chavez is turning out to be, but maybe I'm just being reactionary. And I understand the reasons behind the revolution that has led to modern Cuba (if you can call it that). But all these years later, and no new president???I would dearly like a bit of an education here. Rosskol? Others? Perhaps you could point to books? Herring405
