Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez suggested that President Barack Obama is the devil while speaking at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen last Friday.

“The Kyoto Protocol cannot be declared dead or extinguished, which is what the US pretends to do. Which is why (President) Evo (Morales of Bolivia) tells a great truth: If Obama, Nobel War Prize, said here, by the way, it smells of sulfur here. It smells of sulfur. It keeps smelling of sulfur in this world. The Nobel War Prize has just said here that he came to act. Well, then show it, sir, don’t leave by the back door, eh? Do everything you need to do for the US to adhere to the Kyoto Protocol, and let’s respect Kyoto, and empower Kyoto, and respond to the world in a transparent fashion.”

In September 2006, Chavez also referred to then US President George W. Bush as the devil in a speech to the United Nations.
