Obama voices US concern over Venezuela democracy

In an interview with a Venezuelan newspaper, Obama criticizes attempts by the Venezuelan government to democratize. He states the attempts made by Venezuela to promote democracy have suppressed freedom of speech and press in order to accomplish this goal, which he views to be anti-democratic. The article then goes on to explain the relationship between American foreign policy and Hugo Chavez, the President of Venezuela who is up for re-election in 2012.
