Because he conveyed the message that they were too afraid to deliver.

Well, at least we didn't elect a monket at the zoo as the President of the United States.

I keep hearing libs say criminal administration and that Bush should be impeached, But none can ever talk about true criminal acts that anyone in the administration has done.

Is that what happened? Were you there to see this first hand? Chavez also said the UN was broken. Maybe they were applauding that. Or maybe they were entertained because he said Chomsky was dead, and the man is alive and well... There are too many variables here, really.

If we're to believe that Americans can find themselves among the top 8% in the world with respect to personal wealth or assets, then we can roughly estimate that more than half of the other nations in the world either envy, despise or violently oppose our economic, military and social standing in the world.

This has been the case for decades, so whether we're attacked under Bush (9/11/01) or Clinton (2/23/93) or Reagan (10/23/83) or Carter (11/4/79), the 'failings' of American foreign policy in general have been in the underestimation of the violence and corruption the REST of the world is willing to undertake, in order to maintain a grip or expand their power.

The link below is ONE Venezuelan's take on the chubby dictator-to-be who likens himself as a white-collar Castro, and champion of the people (which people, yet to be determined).

Venezuela and Iran would be (and soon will be) such minor players on the global stage if it were not for their vast oil reserves. As more and more oil is productively dug up out of the Gulf of Mexico and American/Canadian Rockies, the glut on the markets in the next two decades will further relegate these back water countries to the real back waters (begging for foreign aid to keep their people from starving, a la N. Korea and other so-called tough guys in the face of US 'imperialism').

Chavez is a military guy who uses the military to feather his fat nest. He believes himself to be a long-standing dictator with no threat to office, because he's consolidated his political power, fragmented the opposition, successfully nationalized much of the oil production in Venezuela and catapulted his international stature (much like Saddam did in the Middle East) by thumbing his nose at the U.S. HOWEVER, unlike Saddam, Chavez owes a great deal of his power and influence to the military. Where Saddam could have someone's head on a spit in record time, Chavez has to continually shuffle and cajole conflicting interests within the military in order to maintain power (or risk another coup).

Diatribe explains Chavez's comments best. A blowhard in a popularity contest, he was applauded for lambasting a sitting US President, and the only response from Rice or Snow was "we won't dignify that with an answer". America has become spineless, unwilling to use hard-earned influence and power to squash little commie bugs like Chavez who threaten the livelihood of millions of South Americans by 'dancing around the devil' that is America. The U.S. will likely never invade Venezuela per se, but we have ample and sufficient experience in dealing with hot-heads like Chavez, politically and otherwise. What benefit he gets from 'sulfur-laced' soliloquy is hard to calculate. I'm sure what he's really hoping for is to jump from 5th to 4th in the oil production ranks, as soon as his buddy Ahmadinejad gets his weapon, uses it, and relegates Iran to the Stone Age (much like Musharraf claims we were going to do to Pakistan on 9/12).

Democracy and free markets work for democratic and free people. And those posting on this website would soon yank out an eye than live in the pissholes these men so corruptly run. Chavez had his day in the sun, but goes back to civil and economic unrest that no amount of nationalized oil will fix. He's a one trick pony and the circus will soon be over. Shame so many Americans find solace in the comments of a political neophyte with absolutely no regard for his biggest commercial customers. Those that don't know business, lose the business, and that's where Chavez, Morales, Kim and the Ayatollahs are surely headed. Can't wait to read the final chapter in V for Venezuela. Adios Hugo, have fun at the gallows.

Confidence is down with the President and his policy on many things, i.e the Iraqi War, rising energy costs, and federal spending in general...

No, not really. You'd see their attitudes change rapidly if they needed money or other forms of aid from the US. That's what kind of fair weather friends we have in this world.

Don't they applaud every speaker? Isn't it polite to applaud and if you don't agree with the speaker, you don't show up for it? Nice try, though.
