Its what he did....Bush represents oil. Chavez stopped bush's friends from purchasing oil at a fixed price therefore basically ripping off them off. Chavez stopped it and went to the UN asking why the US is not subject to International law. For Expamle a righ wing christian religious leader named Pat Robertson a long time Bush friend openly called for an assassination team to be dispatched to kill Chavez a democratically elected President of a UN Nation. We call anyone else in the world using such rehortic a terrorist and demand they are shipped to us and face american justice. Chavez wanted the same courtesy and asked for Pat Robertson to be shipped to Venezula to be tried for being a terrorist and supporting the assassinaton of a democratically elected president. He is a fly in the oinment, a little crazy but i think hes more of a american than Bush.

Bush tried to have Chavez overthrown a couple of years ago. The US government still gives money to his political opponents. Bush doesn't like Chavez because he nationalized the oil industry -- took most of the ownership away from the American, British and multinational companies and put it in the name of Venezuela's government.
Chavez insulted Bush in front of the UN possibly for revenge and because he's a showman -- he has a weekly talk show in Venezuela, but also because he wanted to win votes to get on the Security Council. If you saw a clip of his speech, you also saw UN members smiling and nudging each other as Chavez spoke.

You should be happy you have Bush as your leader, not Chavez. He is driving venezuela into the ground. He buys his people off with oil money, but at the same time, their oil production is falling and way below OPEC quota because he refuses to reinvest enough in the state oil company to keep up production (let alone increase it as is the stated goal). Its also quite possible that his firing of 18,000 engineers and managers from the state oil company has also had an impact on its operations.

Chavez is an old style populist dictator who understands the one flame bright lesson of recent Latin American history: Fidel Castro has remained in unchallenged power for 47 years without an election by eliminating any middle class & systematically pissing on the United States . He plans to do the same. As long as oil prices stay high he can continue to throw food & circuses at the mobs & confiscate the property & eliminate the economic independence of anyone who opposes him. Unless someone knocks him off, Venezuela is gonna look just like Cuba in 20 - 30 years.

I think it started the other way around, Bush does not like it when a leader of a country cares about his people. Chavez was just answering the call. I buy gas at Citgo almost all the time because they are the closest to me and I see an American standing behind the counter when I go pay.

Both pandering to the base dont worry Citgo stations will open in across America. Both Chavez and Bush reallly dont care about the average person there buying people off left and right. Bush is a dolt, and dummy I dont think hes El Daiblo ?? What would you do as Cheny and Rummy could cut you out of a seat at Halibutrion after your done being President. Chavez turn his country into a craphole, and bush cronies are selling to the highest bidder. Curroption is a Parasite the only way to deal with is let it eat itself out from the inside and outside.

Bush said Venezuela was part of the axis of evil (because they sit on a lot of oil and Bush is planning to invade them to get it).

It's because Chavez is playing on the lack of worldly support for our wars.
Bush also called him part of the axis of evil.
Really, it's about what Bush has done and said.
