Venezuela to send US more cheap oil

[Edit35]

Venezuela has said it will expand a programme to provide cheap home heating fuel to poor Americans, helping low-income families in Vermont and Rhode Island, as well as four Indian tribes in Maine.

[Edit35]

can you believe this?

[Coldwater Creek]

Yes I can believe it! It is a ploy by the Democrats and Jesse Jackson to fool the ignorant masses.

[Roccus]

COOL! Or should I say warm?

Mr. Chavez,

Thank you.

Now, STFU!

[FreedomNeocon]

LOL... fine by me.

Sell oil at below market prices ESPICALLY to Americans?

I know he thinks he is taking a shot at Bush or something here, but I don't see it.

Just helps our economy, and hurts his (basically a Foreign Gov't subsidizing out for another country)

Either way... we win!

[Coldwater Creek]

I would not give Hugo and Citgo one red cent, I don't care how cheap their petroleum is.

[4rcane]

Buy it low and sell it high.

[MadIvan]

It may not be that cheap. As I understand it, Venezuela's oil is high in sulfur content ("heavy, sour crude" as opposed to "light, sweet" from elsewhere) and thus requires far more processing.

Thus "Hugo" isn't helping much, if at all.

Regards, Ivan

[television is just wrong]

we should send them their nationals here illegally in return.

[television is just wrong]

lol, do we have different pipelines? one for rich, one for poor???

IDIOTS...

[SauronOfMordor]

It will account for a small expenditure, with large returns. If Bush appears about to give him a hard time, he stops the program and lets Bush hear the screaming from "all those poor people about to freeze"

[lrvp99]

Venezuela has a per capita income of $4,020 (2003). The US is $41,400, over ten times higher. Chavez needs to worry his own dirt poor citizens.

[Sooth2222]

We should produce a documentary of how grateful our citizens are for their free oil, and air drop the tapes over Venezuela. (Well, IF they had VCRs, they could play the tape!)

"I bought an Xbox 360 for my kids with the money I saved on heating oil this winter! THANK YOU Mr. Chavez!".

I'm sure the upper middle class in Venezuela doesn't live nearly as well as the "poor" do in the USA!

Color TVs? Computers? Cars? Mortgages? And poor??? Geez!

[FormerACLUmember]

Dictator Chavez is buttering up his democrat party traitor allis/politicians by giving their constituents cheap oil.

Meanwhile the middle class of Venezuela has begun to flee to Florida and to neighboring Latin American countries.

Back in Venezuela, the only road linking Caracas with the outside world just collapsed due to Chavez' incompetence.

[FormerACLUmember]

Didn't Chavez say something about the "people who killed Christ stealing all the wealth of the world?"

He certainly did, the anti-semitic b*stard.
