Dictator Hugo Chávez dies; leaves his parrot to Barack Obama, his fondness for Cuban Healthcare to Michael Moore.

Dirty Socialist Hugo Chávez finally does us all a favor, kicks the bucket. Michael Moore, Cuban healthcare hardest hit.

Hey, Jabba the Filmmaker, be sure to hop a plane straight to Havana next time you feel just a wee bit 'Sicko'. I'll bet they move you right to the head of the line!

Barack Obama's not a dictator; he's happy to sally forth and 'splain that to all of us. In doing so, Barack Obama becomes the only American president who ever had need to reassure Americans that he's not really a dictator. Many good Americans wonder if they can believe him, for once.

We know you're not a dictator, Barack Obama. We can ask any one of your parrots.

Not a dictator, but as it seems in the photo below, Barack Obama, you're a lover, not a fighter!

Barack Obama and Hugo Chávez: Jedi Mind-Melding ?

For fairness, I tried to find another American president who had kissed Hugo Chávez full on the lips. Couldn't. Imagine that.

"I am not a dictator!" That line's a keeper, Barack, the line that will come to define your Presidency.

As James Taranto clarifies it, that's "Obama's declaration of ineffectuality"...

When we first heard Obama's "I am not a dictator," as we noted Friday, it reminded us of Nixon's "I am not a crook." But on further reflection, Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" is a more apt comparison. Of course Obama is not attempting to cover up wrongful behavior, but he did answer Yellin's question in a weirdly literal way that was both a deflection and a revelation.

It's true, of course, that Obama isn't a dictator. He also seems to point that out a lot, as National Review's Andrew Stiles observes. Last month, for example, he noted that "I'm the president of the United States, I'm not the emperor of the United States" and called this a "problem" that he has "struggled with throughout my presidency."

It seems Obama wishes he had dictatorial powers. He probably enjoyed that little fantasy of having the Secret Service take his adversaries prisoner. In itself, that's no big deal: We wouldn't be surprised if other presidents occasionally entertain similar flights of fancy.

Sigh. Just keeps getting better, this miserable Barack Obama Presidency. Economy's hanging on by a thread; the newest bubble, the Stock Market, is ready to pop; there's more welfare and food stamp recipients than at any other time in American history.

Far-Left Democrats, led by this sorry President, are attempting to circumvent the Bill of Rights. There's 2700 new light-armored tanks purchased for the DHS, to go along with their newly-purchased billions of bullets. Seems someone is prepping for domestic unrest in a big way; the next (and final) Civil War is being whispered even in polite company.

Yes, Barack Obama, you'll always be known as the "Greatest of Great Uniters". The "Bringer of Light, Justice and Peace". The 'Best Little Post-Partisan-Wanna-be-Dictator who Couldn't'.

As for Hugo Chávez? He's always picked (for) the best...his company (Dirty Socialists), his healthcare (Cuban), and his favorite American President (Barack Hussein Obama).

Hey Hugo! Enjoy Hell, Mr. Other Dictator.
