PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) - A book by an Uruguayan journalist that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez gave to President Barack Obama is now the No. 5 seller on Amazon.com.

It's an astounding jump for "Open Veins of Latin America: Five Centuries of the Pillage of a Continent," by Uruguayan journalist Eduardo Galeano.

The paperback edition was ranked 54,295 on the online retailer before Chavez gave Obama a Spanish-language edition of the 1971 book on Saturday. It had jumped to No. 5 by Sunday.

The English hardcover edition is listed as out of print.

Galeano's book documents how foreign interests have dominated and afflicted Latin America since the Spanish conquest. It's a favorite among leftists.

In spanish, no less, which Obuma does not speak or read. It'll be useful if he has a couch with a broken leg, or needs to prop a door open.

Maybe next we can send him a copy of Mao Zedong's "Little Red Book". He can wave it happily in the air at family gatherings.

To better understand the Chavez regime, I suggest one peruse the Human Rights Foundation website.

For true tales of torture, read the story of Jose Humberto Quintero, a lieutenant colonel of the Venezuelan National Guard. Chavez is torturing his own soldiers – in this case, for capturing a FARC member. FARC is the Columbian terrorist organization running a majority of the drugs in that nation.

Or, check out the story of the Caracas Nine, all political prisoners of Chavez.

Chavez has destroyed the constitution of his nation and installed a puppet legislature. He’s well on his way to becoming another president-for-life.

What is it with the lefties and dictators! Didn’t daddy show them enough attention when they were growing up?
