Another Kennedy delivering America to tyrants - drop by drop.

MEXICO CITY - Robert Zoellick, the U.S. choice to head the World Bank, warned Saturday that Venezuela's economic and political troubles were growing under President Hugo Chavez's leftist government. "It's a country where economic problems are mounting and we are seeing (that) on the political and press side it's not moving in a healthy direction," Zoellick told a news conference in Mexico City.
He also suggested that the World Bank's influence would not suffer if Chavez goes through with his plan to pull Venezuela out of the lending institution.
"If a country feels it doesn't need or want the services of the international financial institutions then that's their choice. Venezuelans have a great amount of oil money," Zoellick said. "I've found no shortage of countries interested in trying to work with the World Bank."
Chavez has said the World Bank is a tool of the United States that keeps poor nations in debt. He has set up a commission to examine leaving the institution.
Chavez, who has been blessed with high oil prices for most of his eight years in power, insists his socialist policies have improved the lives of poor Venezuelans. The country's economy grew by 10.3 percent last year, the fastest in the region, and government statistics show poverty has declined.

Another Kennedy delivering America to tyrants - drop by drop.
Doomed to tank, hopefully not the next Zimbabwe, but Venezuela is headed down the tube.

His view of the world is different from many of us on FR but he is experiencing evil and maybe learning things that will help him see things differently.
He could end up being the Cathy Buckle of Venezuela, although I would never wish that on him.
You can get involved in his blog if you wish, too.
Seeing a Kennedy do something that actually could be work is an amazing thing. Not a one of them has ever hit a lick at a real job.

so, Venezuela's in trouble. Again. Imagine that.
It's an oil-spike boom town. We all know what happens to boom towns.
If the latter, then terroristophiles from the DNC would reasonably be involved. Si?
Why no mention of their inflation rate, or the shortages caused by price controls? I guess the word of a leftist dictator is good enough for the AP.
In that pic, Hugo is running Jimmuh like a hand puppet.
“Hah! Mah name is Jimmuh. Hugo is a great Christian man. The US is Satan!”

Sun rises in the east about same time it gets light outside. Is there a connection?

Another Jimmy Carter certified political disaster.
Oh the humanity.But,...but,...what about Danny Glover?
I guess he could hie to Cuba. But, Cindy the Peace Whore?
Retired. Ahhh. We’ll ALWAYS have Harry the Banana and the other socialist excretia.
What a shame.
I do however feel bad for the “REAL” people of Vz. I know many and like them a lot. They just have piss poor luck with politics.
"Mental Midgets At Work?"
Chavez: Say hello, Jimmy
Carter: Hello Jimmy.
Chavez: Now folks, I will drink a glass of water while Jimmy here will sing my praises.....
LOL! Perfect caption.
Being an attorney for World Bank is top of the heap.
Oh! Government statistics show! Then it must be true!!! /s
