Re: Hugo Chavez Dead
My kids best friends' mother is from Venezuela and her extended family still live there. She visits them 2-3 times a year. I've talked to her many times about Chavez. She has a very different story than your niece.Chizzang wrote:My Niece (who lives in Seattle now) spent 4 months in Venezuela last year
She's fluent and employed by an Alternative Energy Company
She was doing a study in Venezuela
Her reports and experience in Venezuela are DRAMATICALLY different than Bloomberg News and FOX and MSNBC
She's no Chavez supporter (that's for sure)
But she basically said the US News is about 85% inaccurate on all accounts
I know that's hard to believe - because we hold ourselves in such high regard

Also a good way to prevent vote fraud.
There's no doubt he has done some good for the poor in Venezuela. But I wonder how much more he could have done while he lined his and his families pockets with $2 billion.

Indeed there are almost 200,000 Venezuelans living in America
Anytime there dramatic change in a country there will be legitimate opposition
Particularly when the change was so dramatic and controversial as with Venezuela

Which is more than can be said about any president we've had since Eisenhower
Sure Chavez is a douche Bag (obviously)
But he's no puppet - and that makes daddy War Bucks angry

I'll be back in a couple months when something else interesting happens (speak kindly on my behalf)
