He was a union slug, nothing more.

He was going to do the same for the Frank Marshall Davis home, but they still haven't gotten the stains off the walls.

Why not? His birthday is already a state holiday in CA and TX. The U.S. Navy named a cargo ship for Chavez, although he's quoted as saying his 2 years in the Navy were “the two worst years of my life”. And, Barry Soetoro proclaimed 31 March of each year as "Cesar Chavez Day".

#2-- I'll have bad dreams all night! But dry ones!

Just buying a few more votes.

Funny #2 & #4....!!

This is an insult to thinking Americans everywhere. Obama has no shame and no class. He snubs Israel, praises/encourages restrictions on free speech, lies at the drop of a hat, funnels billions to Muslim enemies. Now he designates the home of a liberal Mexican union leader as a USA national monument? This comes just 36 days from an election...can you say, "Pandering for the Latino vote?"

He will not do anything to build up America, but will turn his back on our Constitution, trash our economy, weaken our defenses, and embolden our enemies.

This is the type of leader only a nation with a severe death wish would elect. How his numbers remain competitive I haven't a clue.

What did Chavez really accomplish? Are farm working conditions really much better for immigrant labor than they were before he showed up? He's a feel-good story to some, I guess, but he really didn't have much lasting impact.

Obama is suppressing the military vote, people we need to get this man voted out of office.
One million free cell phones for Ohio voters, now this .
Makes me sick. What else is he going to do o buy votes.

How about a holiday for Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna ? That should be good for a few hundred thousand votes.

If we know anything about this president, he's designating the Hugo Chavez birthplace as a national monument.

I think congress has to get involved here somewhere for it to actually be designated a monument - minimum is funding; no dollars no monument.

When I read the headline I thought he was talking about Hugo...which would not surprise me

BTW...where is all this money coming from, including the 500million for Egypt??? \
We are 'broke' people....???

Caesar Chavez, who declared himself to be the king of Latinos. He sequestered himself in luxurious digs and let the paens adore him.

Obama is panicking since Univision called him out on the 300 dead Mexicans that where Obama's collateral damage from the 'gunwalking' political stunt.

Actually back in the 1960's Chavez did not have much use for Mexican migrant farm labor that the Western growers used to compete against and fend off Chavez's United Farm Workers Union that consisted of Mexican-Americans and permanent resident alien farm workers.

At the time there was very little mass uncontrolled illegal immigration, as a huge number of Mexican farm workers entered the USA legally each growing season as "Braceros" in accordance with a very long-term international seasonal farm worker agreement between the USA and Mexico called the "Bracero Program". The way that program worked was that Mexican farm workers would be admitted to the USA each year at the beginning of the growing season to perform seasonal farm labor, and then would return to Mexico at the end of each growing season, to be admitted again the next year.

In the 1960's as a pander to Chavez and the unions, President Johnson ended the "Bracero Program" essentially shutting out the Mexican farm workers who could no longer enter the USA legally to perform seasonal farm work. At the start of the next growing season those Mexican farm workers simply entered the USA illegally with the help of the Western growers and farm labor contractors who had been employing them since about the First World War era. That was the real genesis for the massive out of control illegal immigration situation that the USA is experiencing today.

"With a pander here,
And a pander there,
Here a pander, there a pander,
Everwhere a pander, pander,
Old BarackO wants to stay,
Ee-aye-ee-aye-O"

(Where's Sagman when you need him?)

Just a tip of the hat from one commie to another.
