“Today, the private services companies disappear, we don’t need them, the people and workers can do the labor and be more efficient,” Chavez said in reference to the Oklahoma-based Williams Co assets. “We’re going to bury capitalism in Venezuela.”

What do you mean? Obama can’t do that! Our constitution prevents the seizure of private property without just compensation.

“Today, the private services companies disappear, we don’t need them, the people and workers can do the labor and be more efficient,”

His buddy Castro sure proved that in Cuba, eh?

Every third world dictator is watching!

We are now powerless.

I wonder how much campaign money Chavez poured into Obama's campaign.

Obama is watching how Chavez gets away with these kind of things so he can do it to us too. From all indications, Obama will be much worse than Chavez because he's twice as evil.

Maybe you missed it. 0bama is doing the same thing here in the US. He just hasn’t had to use troops, yet.

Today, the private services companies disappear, we don’t need them...

“Today, the private auto companies disappear, we don’t need them, the people and workers can do the labor and be more efficient,” Obama said in reference to the Detroit-based Chrysler Co assets. “We’re going to bury capitalism in America.”

Not to mention the fact that Chavez also seems to have a sense of humor.

Any U.S. company that continues to sell them the supplies and equipment they need should be sanctioned. A naval blockade would sent this communist the right message. How long until Venezuela is as poor and miserable as Cuba? Already, any Venezuelan with good sense, who could manage it, has moved to Miami.
