Our President Obama made a new friend while in Trinidad for the Summit of the Americas - Hugo Chaves. They were all smiles when they shook hands... When the president was criticized about this by one of the reporters, he said: "It's unlikely that as a consequence of me shaking hands or having a polite conversation with Mr. Chavez that we are endangering the strategic interest of the United States"
Later, in front of photographers, Chavez embarrassed Obama when he gave a copy of "The Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," an anti-American and anti-European book by Eduardo Galeano, which makes accusations of economic and political interference in the region by the US and Europe.
