1. 7eleven probably was in the political hot seat.
I think the decision was made months ago and had nothing to do with Chavez's recent comments at the UN. 7eleven stopped accepting Citgo credit cards some time back. Bush's America has hated Chavez for a long time. I suspect that they put pressure on 7eleven to punish Chavez.
I buy gas there - actually started going there when I learned that it was a Venezuela, not Saudi product. The closest Citgo station is about 10 miles away. Argh.
