What do you guys think about Chavez giving Obama the book?
If I was Obama I would be very insulted. Such a political move has no place during an exchange of pleasantries.
I don't blame Obama. I think having a dialogue with those who you disagree with (with exceptions to ruthless dictators) is a sign of strength.
I do think the little experiment with reaching out to Chavez should be over. Obama should tell the world that his attempt at diplomacy was returned with an insult. IMO, I think the Western world would agree that Obama has proven that he has the moral high ground.
Unfortunately I don't think Obama is going to call Chavez out. I think he could really make Chavez look like a fool but I'm afraid that he's not going to do that.
