The guy aint that bad, not from what I can see, he has benefited his country, in terms of mediacl care and jobs and education for his people he has actually done a lot, just ask people from venezuela. Also at least he is standing up to bush and american imperialsm (look at the past: panama, nicaragua, bolivia, vietnam, indonesia if you dont believe in such a thing). Morevoer he has started to apply various programs that will allow cheap oil and resource training between venezuela and other latin american aswell as african countries which will thus help these poor countries to get out of the grip of the huge multinational companies that seek to deprive them of every penny they may have left. I dont think the guys a saint but i think he is working for what he thinks will ultimately be a positive cause, even if he has to 'jump over a few obstacles' in the way. No leader is perfect but he is infinitely better than the US administration that for decades has been conciously planning to abuse of poor countries and desperate people with no other objective than to greedily feed the ever grwoing grotesque stomach of wealth of the multi national companies and certain rich families and individuals.
