Glenn Beck: Obama used as propaganda tool by Chavez
On Monday, The Glenn Beck Newsletter states that it "was embarrassing enough when Fidel Castro expressed his love for President Obama, but Hugo Chavez took the humiliation to a whole new level with the naive President of the barely free world."
On Saturday, Chavez, known for his outspoken anti-American rhetoric, unexpectedly approached President Obama during the Summit of the Americas and presented him with 1970s’s leftist manifesto "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," written by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano.
Despite this warning from Hillary Clinton back in the primary debates that meeting with dictators would lead to the President being used as propaganda, Obama walked right into the trap.
With all eyes focused on Obama, Hugo Chavez gave Obama Galeano's book and Obama accepted the 'gift' with a smile, holding it up for the cameras. Due to such publicity, that anti-American book is now #2 on Amazon.
"Way to go, Barry, you literally are a tool," Glenn Beck's newsletter concludes.
