Chavez offers Americans cheap fuel

Charismatic (/populist?) Venezuelan leader Chavez has been using his clout on the international stage to attack Bush and the West for a while now.
In perhaps his best move so far he has capitalised on the spiralling oil prices in the US by suggesting that he has plans to offer cheap petrol to poor citizens in the USA.
The president is obviously in control of his countries significant oil assets, and has some petrol companies operating in the US already. If it weren't for pesky capitalism middle-men, Chavez assers, he could give working class Americans a better deal.
The revolution is still international, obviously.
This move comes in response to recent attacks from the US right, and suggestions from the US government that Chavez and Cuba's Castro are stirring up trouble in Latin America.

The USA has become a country who overconsumes what it steals abroad. It's main health problem is the obesity of its citizens while the people in the countries they mutilate and loot are even lacking the most basic food and water.
Interesting to see how the USA solves the consumption problem in the US and abroad.
In the US, the well known hate preacher Pat Robertson, the charimatic leader of the fanatic religious extremists who are imperator Bush's main supporters, has publically advocated to millions for the murder of a foreign head of state in order to steal the oil resources of that country that are granted to Exxon and peers by God the Almighty.
In Iraq there is not even enough water and food for everyone, so they kill people to solve the problem they have created.
