He was taken to power by a majority of the Venezuelan popular vote. During the years he has been in government, people of the poorest sectors have obtained better living standards and many are hoping now to return to their countries of origin for the realization of a true and more fair American Dream. Stop insulting other countries' elected officials and rise to your proper stature as a representative of a culture that is crying for wisdom from the shadow of an empire.
I'm not certain what you're saying here. You obviously disagree with me, so go ahead and let me know what you're disagreeing with:

1) Hugo Chavez dislikes America.

Are you saying that he doesn't dislike America?

2) Hugo Chavez is Communistic.

Are you saying he isn't Communistic?

3) He's a plucky li'l psycho who's oozing confidence.

I'm betting this was what you had issue with. If that's the case, I apologize for having offended you. Well, he's certainly 'Plucky' because he amended the Constitution of Venezuela to sidestep term limits. This is the beginning of a tyranny.

Is he psycho? Anti-Chavez student demonstrators were ambushed by masked gunmen. Hugo Chavez said, “They generally take the path of fascist violence and confront the laws and the people, and they are always looking to the Pentagon, high-ranking generals,”. Yes. Saying that students deserved to be shot and beaten by thugs is psychotic.

Maybe it was 'Oozing Confidence?' Regardless, I didn't claim to speak for Jesus Christ when I insulted Chavez. He has certainly redressed some economic concerns. This does not make him a good man. I apologize that you felt attacked, since it wasn't my intention, nor do I regularly criticize other governments. I was merely pointing out that it was absurd to attack Obama based upon the words of Chavez, who doesn't like the US at all.
