“Compare it with US President Barack Obama – in what sounds like a dormant cut and paste by some White House intern – reaffirming US support for ‘the Venezuelan people’. Would that be ‘the people’ who have been electing and re-electing Chavez non-stop since the late 1990s? Or would that be ‘the people’ who trade Martinis in Miami demonizing him as an evil communist? El Comandante may have left the building – his body defeated by cancer – but the post-mortem demonization will go on forever. One key reason stands out. Venezuela holds the largest oil reserves in the world.”
