Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has returned to the nation's capital of Caracas, state-run VTV reported Monday morning.
The network showed images of Chavez leaving Havana, Cuba and arriving in Caracas, reporting that Chavez returned to Venezuela at 2 a.m. local time.
Chavez has been in Havana for weeks undergoing treatment after doctors performed emergency surgery. He announced last week that they had removed a cancerous tumor.
Speaking to VTV after his arrival, Chavez said, his plane had made a "perfect landing" and he was feeling fine.
"I am well. I am happy," he said.
He said his return reminded him of a song, and began singing the words "beautiful night."
He was surrounded by a crowd of grinning supporters.
Venezuela celebrates its bicentennial Tuesday.
IT'S NOT A TUMOR!!
HE IS THE TUMOR!
I am Alessio Gronchi. Sir,will you please not use my name?
Don't feel bad, Alessio. This Tea Partying jerk does the same thing to me. He must think he's funny!!!
State run TV....really Hugo?! Nobody wants to see a fat dictator break into song, because he has nothing substantial to say to his people! Shame on you CNN for running this stupid article!
No, shame on you DeBeast99 for posting your ignorant comment above. You people evidently harbor no shame over your ignorance!
@fakey...lame.....
This is great news indeed. Hugo Chavez is one of best leaders Latin America has these days as he stands up to the right-wing thugs in Washington. Now just watch a lot of these mindless, dirty minded, foul speaking Tea Partiers bash this man with their nonsense like the jerk above!!!
@georgepatton: shut the hell up. Why dont you move to Venezuela if you think a dictatorship is so wonderful.
No Jay, you shut up! Besides, George Patton commanded the 3rd Army during WW2. What the hell did you do for this country???
@fakey...lame
If General Patton was alive today, he would be a tea party member. He hated communism and socialism.
Study history before you spout off left wing garbage.
@RUFFNUTT: to answer your question what have I done for this country. Well for one I pay taxes so you can enjoy your food stamps.
@jay.. awesome.. to bad there isn't a flat tax so now matter how much money you made everyone would pay a fair share...
Jay Horn:
Ignore the Troll Brigade.
He acts 5 years old because that's what age his critical think stopped.
"No, Jay, you shut up!"
Like I said, 5.
Sorry Jay, my mistake here. Not the "Troll Brigade", the "Tea Party Brigade".
Should have elected Steve Forbes and we would have a flat tax.
@Jay:
The Troll Brigade has struck again.
I didn't write the
2:48 post.
One can tell.
You're smart enough to be one of those who know.
Anyone who disagrees, gets trolled.
His antics are just as silly as the pablum he proffers.
