Chavez, Obama And Honduras

Hugo Chavez, the leftist dictator of Venezuela is getting a sympathetic ear in Washington as he works the phones to gain support for the legally deposed (and would-be dictator) Manual Zeleya of Honduras. In today's Wall Street Journal:

[Chavez] may feel that his aims have enough support from the U.S. and the Organization of American States (OAS) that he would be justified in forcing Mr. Zelaya on Honduras by supporting a violent overthrow of the current government. That he has reason to harbor such a view is yet another sign that the Obama administration is on the wrong side of history.

In the three weeks since the Honduran Congress moved to defend the country's constitution by relieving Mr. Zelaya of his presidential duties, it has become clear that his arrest was both lawful and a necessary precaution against violence.

I can't help wondering why Chavez thinks Obama would help him. What's in this for Obama?
