Chavez: Obama does not deserve Nobel

CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez says President Barack
Obama does not deserve the Nobel Peace Prize.
Chavez believes Obama didn’t make any notable accomplishments to
merit winning the prize, saying that rather than promote peace the U.S.
president is continuing the warlike policies of predecessor George W.
Bush.
Chavez and Obama had a cordial first encounter at a summit in April,
but the Venezuelan leader has become increasingly critical of Obama.
In a Sunday newspaper column, Chavez said the Norwegian Nobel
committee "forgot about his determination to continue battles in Iraq
and Afghanistan."
Chavez also criticized Obama for pursuing an agreement that would
allow the U.S. military to increase its presence at Colombian bases.
