In a shock to many onlookers, Hugo Chavez announced that he was supporting Barack Obama in his bid for a second term as POTUS. Chavez also did not spare Romney from criticism. From the article:
In a campaign speech Saturday night, Chavez equated the agenda of his challenger, Henrique Capriles, with that of Romney, saying both men represent the callously selfish capitalist elite.
Chavez sees a contrast between his opponent, and the race between Romney and Obama, citing that the losing side, namely Romney, and Chavez' opponent, Capriles, represented "capitalism"
Hugo Chavez endorses Obama. Hmmmm . . .
