barry shaking hands with Hugo Chávez, Venezuela and Daniel Ortega, Nicaragua before the opening of the 5th Summit of the Americas in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.

CHAVEZ: With this hand, eight years ago, I greeted Bush. I want to be your friend.

Chavez was referring to the fact that it greeted Bush during the 3rd Summit of the Americas held in Quebec, but four years ago, the two leaders met at the Sea of Silver and avoided [each other].

Obama repeated the gesture with the president of Nicaragua, who shook his hand in the same room where all the presidents had a quick meeting before the opening of the dome.
