He likes Americans!
And like a lot of the world...he just doesn't like Bush. Get over it!
He said Bush wouldn't of been President if it wasn't for his Daddy. That is a true statement.
Chavez is just a loud mouth wanting to get attention. He apparently has yours!
I have no personal issues with Chavez, nor Citgo.

I buy nothing but Citgo gas. Why should I support Mid-East dictatorships when I can support the PEOPLE of a democratic country. It's not Chavez that I choose to support, per se, but the citizens of his country who benefit from Citgo oil sales. Chavez has done many good things for his citizens including free medical clinics, 50% reduction in illiteracy, building schools, health care clinics, etc. All with Citgo money. I am happy to spend my money to help out his countrymen.
I have less concern for his "views" on Bush than I do with supporting repressive regimes in Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, etc.
And for those saying his people live in poverty, poverty has declined 42% in Venezuela since he became president. Can "El Diablo" say the same thing?

Even though that was not really a question, anyone with any common sense would have to agree with the facts you point out.
I was in Venezuela last year for a month and the poor of this country are holding their head up with pride as new schools and hospitals are being built (with oil profits) and they have a very positive outlook toward the future...something that poor people in this country can not attest to. Not to mention the fact that this past winter season Chavez made available affordable heating oil for Americans so they would not feel the pinch from Bush's oil friends that have had a record profit year.

Chavez is a great leader who cares deeply for his people. He's buying armaments at a prodigious rate only because he feels responsible for the safety of his people. When a country is surrounded by belligerents it is only logical that a great leader such as Chavez will go shopping for jets, tanks, and rifles.
I wish people would stop complaining about Chavez. After all, he is loved by ALL of the Venezuelan people and that should be enough for us.
I say: "Buy Citgo Gas Until the Wells Run Dry - Help Hugo Help His People!"

Diablo Dubya enable Al Qaida attack us on 9/11, enable them ruin out in Afghanistan, enable them set up education camps in dozens of international locations, and claimed progression hostile to them by making use of ignoring any terrorist mass-homicide that wasn't on American soil. by making use of his bobble-headed strutting and swagger, the desperately illusioned American all and various is brought about trust he's an Avenging Archangel with a effective sword smiting the minions of the pretend god Allah. Diablo Dubya grew to change into Afghanistan right into a heroin farm and Iraq right into a budding theocracy bathed in blood. nonetheless possessed by making use of the demons that led him right into a lengthy time period of alcoholism, he babbles Christian buzzwords at the same time as education greed, corruption, and negligence such as his fraternity brothers from the Enron era. Such spoiled, egocentric, incompetent, and smug Satanic brats are the genuine haters of united states. Hugo Chavez is basically afraid they're going to do to Venezuela what they have achieved to united states.

Feel free to buy Citgo gas. That is your right. Boycotts don't work anyway. I will not buy from them because I disagree with Chavez. Not because I want to try to ruin his business, but just because I don't want to support it.
You do have to admit he was rude though. That is talk for the bathroom not the podium.

The book he was holding up in his speech is #1 on Amazon:
Pokey- Chavez is seen as a hero for the poor in his nation.

That is your choice but remember you are not the only American. Bush gained office twice with our votes and we still have a say as what we are willing to put up with from Dems and dictators.
