The Clintons, the Obamas and in fact, every US President in recent times and unless we change our ways for the foreseeable future, have and will amass huge fortunes. Not to mention our Million Dollar Club, or is it Billions now, known as the US Senate.
I hope Chavez did make a fortune, he certainly deserved it.
It is laughable for the NYT or any US publication to try to make an issue of a President making money. The total lack of awareness, and for anyone on a democratic board to buy into the propaganda, is just astounding.
Show me a US president who isn't obscenely wealthy after, and even during, their time in office?
Unbelievable nonsense, and the NYT once again proves how little credibility they have by participating in what Wikileaks has now proven beyond any doubt, the Multi Million dollar campaign spent on trying to smear Left leaning leaders in SA like Chavez. I would be ashamed to fall for it as a Democrat.
Something like $300,000,000 we found out, spent on publishing propaganda like this. I wonder has the NYT enriched ITSELF for all the propaganda it agrees to publish?
If Chavez did make some money, good for him.
Oh, how the 'capitalists' suddenly turn into 'socialists' when it comes to Latin American leaders doing what our own do without comment. Hillarious, the hypocrisy.
The sheer stupidity of pointing fingers when right in their own back yard they ignore the same 'terrible crimes'!
