Here we have a President who helps the poor have a better life while Israel keeps murdetring Palestinians, can anyone see the bias atitudes in this media coverage of Latin America ?? for example if Fidel Castro is the bad guy why are we attacking Chavez ?? “Chavez has demonstrated again and again that he's a democrat. It's absurd that some think he's a dictator,” said Alejandra Gonzalez, a single mother who supports Chavez for opening state-run markets that sell food at cut-rate prices and sending Cuban doctors into the slums to help the poor.” I guess the filthy ritch don't get any gifts from Chavez do they ? I am going to bring an issue that was here before Chavez, let say Chavez didn't run for president, who will people vote for, last elections everyone was mad about Chavez but it was their own foult for not having a clear alternative, this is a classic error made by people who destroy a country, they know what they don't want but never agree on someone who can fill the spot, Venezuea's past is littered with this kind of politics, this comment will be the test of this, I invite you all to tell us who do you want as President of Venezuela rather then Chaves, now let wait and see.

see siente, see siente, Chavez presidente.

Chavez has also presided over the deconstruction of the most effective economic models in his country. He has created an environment where a major oil producing nation has power outages. A nation that once exported coffe now has to import it as it's production faltered under a nationalized regime. His country is also still in recession as it has been unable to grow itself due to worsening industrial output.

Chavez a friend of the poor? Well he has created a lot more poor in his country!
