The arrogance is simply stunning. No doubt our Government would prefer an old style Dictator we love so much. But Chavez did such a good job of showing his people what democracy looks like that it's going to be difficult for the US to install one of our own puppets there for a while, at least without them pretending to support Chavez's policies as happened in the latest election there. But the people were not fooled, thankfully.

A true Democratic leader seems to offend the US.

And how thoroughly disappointing that this Dem administration continues the horrible Right Wing policies of the last Administration in Venezuela. Truly disturbing.
