Hugo Chavez


What is it with this guy? What have we done to him?

“CARACAS, Venezuela — President Hugo Chavez urged supporters to approve constitutional changes that he said could keep him in power for life and threatened to cut off oil exports to the United States if it tries to meddle in Sunday's vote. (FOX news)”

“Dec. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, facing a close vote in a referendum tomorrow to change the constitution, stepped up attacks against the U.S., Spanish banks and the media in an offensive aimed at winning over voters. Chavez told tens of thousands of supporters in Caracas he is prepared to stay in power until 2050 if voters pass his proposal, which includes eliminating presidential term limits. He vowed to seize Spanish banks and expel journalists from the country to defend his goal of turning Venezuela into a socialist state.”

Oh, I get it. He’s another two-bit thug tyrant who needs someone else to put the blame on for all the trouble and misery he brings his people.

I wonder if this means that New England won’t get their free heating oil from Venezuelan Citgo this year. Oh well.
