Voices Support For Obama
Caracas - Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez
said on Sunday there
were good chances for
the Democratic candidate
Barak Obama to win the
U.S. presidential
elections slated for
Tuesday.
"It is not a small thing
that an African-American
attains the U.S.
presidency," Chavez
said.
Obama and rival
Republican John McCain
are in their final
campaigning stretch
ahead of the coming
elections.
On many occasions,
Chavez has expressed his
disfavor with McCain,
but he has adopted a
different view on Obama,
who was born to a Kenyan
father.
"We don't ask him
(Obama) to be a
revolutionary, but to
adapt himself to what is
happening, to peace,"
Chavez said at a
ceremony to inaugurate
the construction of the
Barinas international
airport in his hometown
of Sabaneta, 520 km
southwest of Caracas.
Chavez said that a
lifting of the U.S.
economic embargo on Cuba
and a withdrawal of U.S.
forces from Iraq, could
be a good beginning in
case Obama wins the
elections.
"The United States has
everything to be a world
power," Chavez said, but
it should never infringe
on the sovereignty of
poor countries.
