What does Hope smell like?

The smell of hope has replaced George W. Bush's "sulphur" at the United Nations, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said on Thursday in his first U.N. speech since calling the past U.S. president a "devil."

"The smell of sulphur is gone. It smells of hope," Chavez, a fierce leftist critic of Washington, said to chuckles from the audience during a lengthy speech that touched on everything from Albert Einstein to Karl Marx.

Chavez, who lambasted Bush during his 2006 address to the assembly, invited Obama to join the "axis of evil" -- a joking reference to countries the previous U.S. president once called a threat to the world.

But Chavez said Obama would anger the region if the United States fails to lift its longstanding embargo against communist Cuba or moves ahead with plans to increase its military role in Colombia for the war on drugs.

Chavez and Bolivian President Evo Morales called for the end of capitalism at the United Nations this week.

I mentioned this once before, and I'll say it again. When leaders of countries, the likes of which, are unfriendly to the U.S. praise our president, something is wrong!

Chavez wants the trade embargo to against Cuba to be removed, while at the same time calling for the end of capitalism. If the trade embargo were to be lifted, and capitalism were to end; who would Cuba trade with? These guys have been listening to Obama a little too much.
