Chavez invites Obama to follow road to socialism Publish Date: Saturday,7 March, 2009, at 10:56 PM Doha Time Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Friday called upon US President Barack Obama to follow the path to socialism, which he termed as the "only" way out of the global recession. "Come with us, align yourself, come with us on the road to socialism. This is the only path. Imagine a socialist revolution in the US," Chavez told a group of workers in the southern Venezuelan state of Bolivar. The Venezuelan leader, who taunted the US as a source of capitalistic evil under former president George W Bush, added that the US needs a leader who can take it to a "higher" destiny and bring it out of "the sad role that it has been given, as a murderous, attacking power that is hated all around the world." Chavez said that people are calling Obama a "socialist" for the measures he is taking. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
