CARACAS – Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez said Tuesday that U.S. President Barack Obama lacks the “power to stop the imperial machine,” which, he said, acts autonomously and is responsible for acts like the June 28 coup in Honduras.
“They could have the pope as president – it’s the empire, the doctrine, the imperial machinery that moves itself, it doesn’t obey the president,” the leftist head of state said at an event in Caracas.
“Unfortunately Obama doesn’t have the power to stop the imperial machine. The imperial machinery will continue to advance…some day it will fall,” Chavez said.
He gave as an example of that thesis the coup that ousted elected President Mel Zelaya in Honduras, now governed by a de facto regime not recognized by any country.
