Hugo Chavez laid to rest; Reverend Jesse Jackson in Venezuela for services
Reverend Jesse Jackson is in Venezuela for the funeral of President Hugo Chavez, who died of cancer this week.
Reverend Jackson led a delegation of the Rainbow Push coalition to Caracas for today’s service.
Jackson says he got to know President Chavez during a visit to Venezuela in 2005.
He visited Chavez and addressed parliament on the anniversary of doctor Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
During that trip Chavez also gave Jackson a Liberator award.

Numerous kids are dying around his neighborhood and he has to go a funeral of a despot.
Wake up Chicago, the reverend has no interest in helping the city or community.
He, like his protege Barack, only want to worshiped and idolized.
