Chavez offers cheap gas to poor in U.S.

HAVANA, Cuba (Reuters) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, popular with the poor at home, offered on Tuesday to help needy Americans with cheap supplies of gasoline.

"We want to sell gasoline and heating fuel directly to poor communities in the United States," the populist leader told reporters at the end of a visit to Communist-run Cuba.

Chavez did not say how Venezuela would go about providing gasoline to poor communities. Venezuelan state oil company PDVSA owns Citgo, which has 14,000 gas stations in the United States.

The offer may sound attractive to Americans feeling pinched by soaring prices at the pump but not to the U.S. government, which sees Chavez as a left-wing troublemaker in Latin America.

Gasoline is cheaper than mineral water in oil-producing Venezuela, where consumers can fill their tanks for less than $2. Average gas prices have risen to $2.61 a gallon in the United States, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration.

Chavez said Venezuela could supply gasoline to Americans at half the price they now pay if intermediaries who "speculated ... and exploited consumers" were cut out.

Venezuela supplies Cuba with generously financed oil and plans to help Caribbean nations foot their oil bills.

Chavez, in Cuba to attend the graduation of Cuban-trained doctors from 28 countries, was seen off at the airport by Cuban President Fidel Castro. Washington has accused the two leaders of being a destabilizing influence in South America.

Chavez and Castro offered to give poor Americans free health care and train doctors free of charge.

one thing I do agree with him on

Chavez said Venezuela could supply gasoline to Americans at half the price they now pay if intermediaries who "speculated ... and exploited consumers" were cut out.

the price we are paying now is based on speculation and not on fact

I still say it's pumped up by "analysts" paid by the oil industry....especially someone like T. Boone Pickens who runs a mutual fund based off oil stocks (basically) so of course he is going to say bad things to pump up the price of a barrel of oil

but as far as the article...it's just a shout back at that idiot Pat Robertson, I doubt Venezula could afford to send stuff to us w/o hurting their own

I know Chavez is a pain for the US government right now, specially his ties with Castro. However, here in Dominican Rep. everyone has their hopes up that Venezuela can provide or at least stabilize (sp?) the price of oil. Castro in the other hand is helping educated doctors in rural areas and also adult alfabetization.
I applaud both these actions, and I really hope, and is not just wishfull thinking, that their intentions to help are genuine.

This really exposes Team Thug's hypocrisy regarding its alleged mission to spread "democracy and freedom" to the four corners of the earth, doesn't it?

Chavez is a democratically elected president who was really elected by the people of his country. (Bush must be green with envy on that account.)

True that is.

And those "needs" are:

That makes him different from every other President in what way(s)?
