Letter of the day: Handshake with a thug disgraces our great country

April 23, 2009 at 1:48AM

It is a disgrace to America and a dishonor to all American citizens, especially to our military members who have fought and died to rid the world of thugs like Hugo Chavez. President Obama needs to apologize to this country, and the world, for his actions and remarks concerning Hugo Chavez, a Communist, a dictator, a dirt bag who needs to be relieved of his oppressive government control over what was once a free country. Liberty and freedom to Venezuela! HAROLD OLSON, MINNEAPOLIS
