We here in America should take example of Chavez.

Specifically the leadership roles that a President should have.

Chavez had a 85+% approval rating, while Obama has a dismal 40%.

Chavez increased the countrys literacy rate. Obama has seen an increase in unemployment.

Chavez used the iol money for programs for the poor. Under Obama gasoline is above $4/gal and has made the oil industry billions in profits, while there are now over 30 mil children at or below the poverty level.

Viva Chavez!

How can Chavez be in so much debt when Venezuela sits on the biggest oil reserve in the world

[roger8654]

Venezuela's external debt is only like 70 billion, the USA debt is about 15 trillion

LMAO, Venezuela has debts all over the world NOW.

In fact, during the last 3 years, the government's external debt has increased by 90%, starting with an Oil Revenue shortfall.

eluniversal. c o m / economia/ 120303/ in-three-years- venezuelas- foreign-debt-grew-90

As of today, the Venezuelan people owe over 32,000 per man, woman, and child. The highest debt in South America.

In the US, it's 53,000 per man, woman and child, but we earn more, huh?

And Venezuela will never face the same debts or destruction as the US or Germany, because of the following:

- They have repatriated their gold (gold is money and nothing else)

- They have an Oil (an asset used around the world). The US does not have an asset like oil (anymore) therefore they start wars in order to continue deficit spending at home

- And Finally, The Venezuelan People are VERY STRONG, politically, economically, etc.

Gather your own thoughts, don't let others think for you!

Wow, just listen to you, you sound like a polished govt mule that just regurgitates everything heard on Fox News.

Your reasoning and conclusions are not unfounded. If you have read or listened to his speeches, he has stated before, that the Oil of of the People. The results are programs that affected the Venezuelan people positively like an increase in Literacy Rate, Health Care, Small Businesses, Political Participation and more....

So before you rant away again, think rationally!

Chavez had a 85% approval rating because he was a fascist Jackass.

Every Fascist Jackass has a 85% and higher approval rating, don't they?

Chavez managed to spend nearly 8 years of Oil income in just ONE.

When and if Venezuela choses to confront reality, they will face the

same debts and destruction east germany did.

He had the same heroes, after all. Just like you do.
