Chavez takes on Bush

It’s a propaganda fight between President Hugo Chavez, Venezuela and President George Bush, USA, to try and influence the voters of Latin America. Clearly Bush has the edge running the only super power left in the world even though. Chavez has provided the strongest opposition to US imperialism in Latin America since Fidel Castro of Cuba. Chavez has outlasted attempted coups, attempts by the middle class to oust him in an election and he has held his own, politically. He is one of the few left leaning reformers to outlast the usual CIA tactics to overthrow even a mild reformer for Latin America’s poor.
So now it’s the propaganda war and if Bush is as stupid there as he is in the US, Chavez has an easy victory ahead of him. This is one fight that proves to be a real match.

In Uruguay, Bush tries to focus on trade talks

MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay - Followed by violent protests and relentless taunting from Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, President Bush continued his Latin American tour Saturday by talking trade while ignoring the controversy his visit has kicked up around the region.
Bush met Uruguayan President Tabare Vazquez at a bucolic presidential retreat and discussed how this tiny South American country can sell more beef, wool and blueberries to the United States.
Yet even amid the horses and trees, the Chavez challenge threatened to take over Bush's agenda as it has repeatedly on this tour, which began Thursday night in Brazil and will also take the president to Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico.
