Sucks to be you Chavez, for now
Posted by MK on December 3, 2007
FOXNews – President Hugo Chavez suffered a stunning defeat Monday in a referendum that would have let him run for re-election indefinitely and impose a socialist system in this major U.S. oil provider. Voters defeated the sweeping measures Sunday by a vote of 51 percent to 49 percent, said Tibisay Lucena, chief of the National Electoral Council, with voter turnout at just 56 percent. Opposition supporters shouted with joy as Lucena announced the results on national television early Monday, their first victory against Chavez after nine years of electoral defeats. Some broke down in tears. Others began chanting “And now he’s going away!”
Now watch him blame America for this.

He was very quick to accept defeat. Maybe he’s doing this to mollify his critics?

AR, I think he probably was doing it to mollify his critics. This man has ambitions the size of the planet and is just gutter smart enough to know that he’s scared the people and needs to pull back and hide his raw drive for power a bit better.
