Obama's friend's awful sense of humor

Obama buddy Hugo Chavez of Venezuela thinks an Iranian nuclear weapon is a laughing matter.
The Venezuelan President has once more managed to upset his American counterparts, this time by using a televised Cabinet meeting to crack knockabout jokes about helping Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to develop weapons of mass destruction.

Welcoming his late-arriving Minister for Mining, Rodolfo Sanz, to Tuesday’s gathering, which was being broadcast live on state television, Mr Chavez shuffled some papers and cheerfully inquired: “How’s the uranium for Iran? For the atomic bomb?”
The article goes on to describe as 'stern' a State Department response that did nothing but state known facts. And from the picture above (taken in Trinidad several months ago), it appears that Mr. Obama may share Mr. Chavez's warped sense of humor.

What could go wrong?
