Chavez taking care of America's poor
...'a group he says Bush's government has severely neglected.'
With all the recent noise the "right-wing"/neocon media (example) have been making with regards to the U.S. boycotting Citgo-which is owned by the government of Venezuela and is a market leader in the refining and transportation of motor fuels, petrochemicals, etc.-this article by the Post is definitely an interesting read.
Even more interesting is that Venezuela is calling the fuel "humanitarian aid". Aid that many citizens and even politicians (Rep. Bill Delahunt) dont mind accepting.
BTW, the bit about 7-Eleven terminating its 20 year contract with Citgo over Chavez's UN speech is baloney (or bologna, whatever you call it).
