Hugo Chavez mind games:
ByOver the weekend I was watching TV when a commercial came on that caught my attention. The commercial is a dramatization of a mother and her child sitting in their home with blankets over them. Then it shows their kitchen with the oven door open leaving you to believe that they’re using it to heat their home.
Then out of no where a truck pulls up and the mother and son’s face light up with cheer as the man pulls out a fuel pump and puts oil into their home. The family and man gather for a group shot with smiles a plenty.
Then a voice is heard with an 800 number telling the viewer how thanks to Citgo and the Venezuelan people, Americans can get oil at a 40% discount.
Give Hugo Chavez credit for his subtle attack on the American government. Knowing he can’t beat us militarily he’s using his stockpiles of oil as a psychological weapon. Chavez shouldn’t be underestimated and his tactic is just another attack on our government.
It's the end of the post, now what?

What’s even more gut-wrenchingly disgusting is elected officials like Jose Serrano posing for the camera while they pump cheap oil into a housing project and interviewing residents saying that America isn’t doing enough for it’s own people so they’ll welcome the favor from Chavez.
Send them to violent Venezulea if they don’t like it here and they can get all the cheap oil they want.

Yes, maybe they should try living in a shanty in Venezuala for a while.
Chavez is all about splashy headline grabbing moves rather than doing anything to actually help his own people. Instead of giving cheap oils to Americans to embarrass Bush and bulldozing country clubs he should try something productive.
