Foreign Policy

In his comments about Hugo Chavez's death, Eric Morgolis makes a seemingly unintentional comparison.

"Chavez was a "caudillo" of the old Latin American model: an oversized, boisterous, macho personality loved by women; a man enraptured by is own voice, impatience with the rules of democratic government, indifferent to the needs of commerce and industry. For journalists, what a delightful change after the EU’s mind-numbing politicians. "

Change the name, and that's an excellent description of Obama.
