Interesting poster of Mr. Chavez; especially since the aircraft in the background happen to be McDonnel Douglas F-4, Phantom jets of the past. I guess it goes to show Mr. Chavez's backward-thinking philosophy of reviving the ghosts of Marx, Engels, and Lenin. May they rest in peace forever.

Chavez was like a little kid in a candy store. Always trying to buy more than he has money to afford. Unfortunately, kids cannot get credit to satisfy their sweet tooth. Russia, get serious. This guy is a nut.

He is doing what he has to do to protect his country and it's people, not just the rich in his country like it was before. Good on him, go Chavez!
