The president shook hands with the president of Venezuela, which is horrific, because, um . . . . .I'm sorry, why is this so bad?

a president always sends a message to the world. There are -- I know this is hard to believe -- there are very evil people in the world who want to kill Americans, and they look for an opportunity at all times for weakness.

Trying to pretend that you're outraged at everything president Obama does or doesn't do (flag pin) no matter how innocent. This is all you got? You have no ideas of your own, no legitimate policy alternatives to suggest, so this is all you can do, isn't it?

Well, it's a defeat for Barack Obama if it's a huge win for Hugo Chavez
Um, Eric, they were shaking hands, not arm-wrestling.
So, if I get the gist of what you all were saying, a US president just shouldn't be friendly with a foreign leader who is less than an all-around good guy?
