Well let's see.. Chavez wouldn't give over Venezuelas publicly owned petroleum to one of the major petro-giants when they came in to strong-arm him..thereby getting on the petro-giants buddies nerves (Bush et al)

"Although Venezuela was only the third largest petroleum producer in the Western Hemisphere, behind the United States and Mexico, its proven reserves, at 58.5 billion barrels in 1989, exceeded those of both countries."

Now you know the GOB (good ol boys) want a piece of that.

THEN Chavez actually USES the national petroleum money to fund schools, poverty programs and missions, for Gods sake. He raises the education and lowers the poverty levels in Venezuela- and exposes our Petro-Giants for the greedy bastards they really are. All in one humanitarian move.

"We believe companies, along with making a profit need to have social responsibilities for the people they sell to,” said Chavez."

Now the GOB hates him.

THEN Chavez raises the taxes on the North American ExxonMobil and
Chevron oil giants whom he is allowing to pump on Venezuelan Soil and uses the extra profits to send low cost oil and gas to POVERTY STRICKEN AMERICANS because thier profit margins are shameful in the face of American poverty.

"Caracas, Venezuela, April 26, 2006—Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez
announced that the program that provides discounted heating oil to
numerous poor communities in the U.S. Northeast will be continued next
year. Also, Chavez proposed a new phase of the program, which would
help provide employment opportunities in beneficiary communities.

40% discount on heating oil to poor communities in seven states in
the U.S. and
has benefited over 180,000 households. Venezuela initiated the heating oil program late last year, in an effort to help
low-income families in the U.S. to cope with the cold winter and high
oil costs.
