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.
You seem to forget that the model of US Capitalism is collapsing with no hope for resurrection. What you call "Communism" in your language, in reality is considered "Compassion" in mine. Hugo Chavez has been elected by a large majority of his own people by popular choice. It is because of biased language such as this you use to describe those you disagree with, that the better relations among the countries are not possible.
