During Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Latin American countries this week, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez called her the "blond" version of her predecessor Condoleezza Rice.
Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez recently commented on United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s visit to Latin American countries this week. The Secretary of State said the policies towards Latin American countries by the Obama administration have helped those nations and have deterred the criticisms made by Chavez.
Chavez referred to comments made by Clinton as she visited Brazil and explained that she is as equally aggressive as former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, according to
Reuters.
“To me, she's like Condoleezza Rice ... a blond Condoleezza. She comes to Brazil to provoke us, to try and divide us from our brothers.”
DNA India notes that officials from the former Bush administration and Chavez exchanged words on a consistent basis in the past and since President Barack Obama was elected and appointed members to his administration, Chavez has criticized the 44th President.
Chavez called for Pres. Obama to give back his
Nobel Peace Prize, while also accusing the U.S. government of
occupying Haiti and accidentally
causing the devastating Haiti earthquake by using their HAARP system, which was meant for Iran.
