Obama = Chavez
From Wikipedia: (my comments in red)
-Chávez and his followers described their aim as "laying the foundations of a new republic" to replace the existing one. Obama: "We're 5 days away from fundamentally changing the United States of America." Van Jones: "We're gonna change the whole thing."
-Chávez used his flamboyant public speaking style, which was notable for its abundance of colloquialisms and ribald manner—on the campaign trail to win the trust and favour of a primarily poor and working class following. (Obama to a T)
-Later in his life, Chávez would acknowledge the role that democratic socialism (a form of socialism that emphasizes grassroots democratic participation) plays in Bolivarianism. Because his Bolivarianism relies on popular support, Chávez has organized the "Bolivarian Circles", (ACORN Circles??? Community organizers?)which he cites as examples of grassroots and participatory democracy. The circles are forums for a few hundred local residents who decide how to spend the government allowance for social development. They usually decide for neighborhood beautification, mass mobilization, lending support to small businesses, and providing basic social services. Obama speaking to community organizers: "But let me even say before I even get inaugurated. During the transition we're going to be calling all of you in to help us shape the agenda. We're going to be having meetings all across the country with community organizations so that you have input into the agenda for the next presidency of the United States of America."
-Chávez is an outspoken proponent of what he calls a socialism of the 21st century as a means to help the poor. Since 2003, the Venezuelan government has set price controls on around 400 basic foods to counter inflation, which has led to "sporadic food shortages". Food processing companies said that regulated prices had not kept pace with inflation, so that they were producing regulated food at a loss. Chávez has also nationalized a number of major companies, including in the telephone, electric, steel, and cement industries, and encouraged cooperatives. (Banks, Cars, Cap & Trade, etc.)
-Paraphrase: Chavez took control of the opposition after an attempt on his life. Mostly any opposing media. Obama's media czar has already stated his support of Chavez' actions and already has plans in place to silence right wing media when the time is right.
They are waiting for an "Emergency" folks. It will give them the reason to take over. Please, God, don't let it happen. Have mercy on us!
