And he wants President Obama to follow him into the hell of socialism, where the only people with anything are members of the government. Where the government can snatch all you have worked for away from you in the blink of an eye.
I do think we should look for President Obama's response to this insane man. It could be telling.

Very Frightening, yes. Very Dangerous, yes.
Crazy… no.
Really? You don’t think he has a serious personality disorder at the very least?
Ah, if only to analyze the minds of megalomaniac dictators… Characters like him, seem to always thrive while traversing the length of a razor - A life led between sanity an insanity. This is required of transformative leaders (the good and the bad), for it is in their glimpse of insanity that they first see and then implement what’s heretofore impossible. To reject this would condemn us to the unimaginative leadership of a self-serving committee.
On Chávez, I’ve seen plenty of recklessness. For example, early in 2001 the Andean Countries held a summit in Cartagena Colombia. Instead of the standard Venezuelan “Secret Service”, Chávez brought-in deputized and diplomatically immunized FLN Guerrillas as his bodyguards. As if to say to his Colombian hosts: “I’m bringing in these terrorist criminals that you’d like to put in jail; but I don’t give a damn. I’m here to tell you that I support them, and I don’t care what you think of it”.
And let’s not forget his similar message to the U.S. when he rushed to Baghdad, Tehran and Pyongyang right after 9/11.<
