This is Change I Actually Do Believe In

I know, I know…there is all sorts of wrong going on with Obama’s foreign policy in Latin America, which we will discuss in plenty of detail at RebelReports, but that picture is priceless. Here is a bit of context:

Barack Obama walked across a hotel ballroom… and introduced himself to Chavez. The two leaders smiled and shook hands, chatting briefly.

Chavez’s office later said the two men talked about their mutual desire to change the relationship between their countries – a characterization the White House didn’t dispute.

Obama tried a little handshake diplomacy with other U.S. rivals – including Bolivia’s Evo Morales and Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega, with Obama saying it was “gusto,” a pleasure, to meet Ortega.
