Chavez boosts heating oil program for U.S. poor; takes another swipe at Bush

NEW YORK (AP) — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez visited a Harlem church Thursday and promised to double the amount of discounted heating oil his country ships to needy Americans. But he also took another swipe at President Bush.

A day after he called Bush "the devil" in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly, Chavez said of the president: "He's an alcoholic and a sick man."

He called Bush's policies in Iraq criminal, adding he hopes Americans will before long "awaken" and elect a better president. While he opposes Bush, Chavez said the American people "are our friends."

Chavez also announced that Citgo, the U.S.-based refining arm of Venezuela's state-run oil company, plans to more than double the amount of heating oil it is making available under the program to 100 million gallons this winter, up from 40 million gallons.

He said the oil will reach people in 17 states, including Indians in Alaska, some of whom were flown to New York for the ceremony and attended in traditional dress. They performed a traditional dance for Chavez and offered him a walrus figurine carved out of whale bone as a gift.

Steve,

Chavez was traveling around the world kissing behind in order to secure enough votes to win a seat in U.N. Security Council. Venenzuela is not the only country to kiss dicator/fundie behind for its own personal reasons. The U.S. has a long history of doing that too.

Answer 1

He's trying do undermine a democracy. That's why he's anti-American.

Answer 2

One of the headlines in the news today was about how terrorists are infecting the websites like this one. After reading this question, I'll be considering exactly what the news story warned me of .

Conservatives and Liberals call Chavez anti American, because he is . Now that's fairly simple to follow .

Answer 3

Hugo Chavez is not an exploiter regarding the sale of oil to USA but he is against the policies of President Bush especially the intervention in the affairs of other countries.

Answer 4

clearly his aim is to demonstrate that socialists actually care about the poor and the Capitalists that dominate this country couldnt care less. I appreciate the guy personally he was elected by a majority vote and is doing what the majority of his people want. I wish our country worked as well. He also got rid of alcohol in the streets of his country. I would say the guys a better christian than any neocons.

Answer 5

he sent the oil donations in order to exaggerate his self-importance and take advantage of the situation to perhaps, win some support here.

he consorts with our greatest of enemies, while slandering our president.

when he says the american people are his friends, he is pandering to those (once more proven by your very post) gullible liberals who share in his anti-bush views.

Answer 6

if he hangs with achmibindenijad-whosits because the iranian makes repeated statements about destroying israel and defeating the west,

i'd say he's an enemy...

it's not just the cons... it's most of us americans who pay enough attention to see who the guy is allying himself with

and the sorts of tyrannical measures he takes as leader of his own nation

Answer 7

Because cons have been duped into believing that Bush is pro American.
