He's a Strong Leader who's not knuckling under to the old rich elite of his country and is instead doing what seems best to him and most of the less than rich people of his country. What's the problem?

Really, I'll I've seen anyone complain about him has been bullshit. So some little things here and there are less than optimal, he's NOT running the whole country like a dictator, there are OTHER elected officials in the country, there are no doubt hundreds of bureaucrats doing things. It's a whole country, Chavez isn't running it like a dictator, you can't blame him for every thing that goes less then perfect.

There is zero basis to call him a "thug" as far as I'm concerned. He may not be perfect, but he's getting good shit done daily. He has every reason in the world to worry about protecting his nation from US destabilization efforts, efforts which have quite clearly been underway at times in the recent past.
