Chavez said frayed ties with Washington were unlikely to improve despite the departure of Bush
"I hope I am wrong, but I believe Obama brings the same stench, to not say another word," Chavez said at a political rally adding, "If Obama as president of the United States does not obey the orders of the empire, they will kill him, like they killed Kennedy, like they killed Martin Luther King, or Lincoln, who freed the blacks and paid with his life."
Well, that's got bilateral relations off to a good start!
