how to become a "president for life " manual by Chavez!!!

In the new political arena president for life has substituted the infamous "dictator "and here is one of subjects and the way to do it legally.

this is not my blog,it is from "salon.com.

A generous Hugo Chavez "authorizes" his party and the people to begin to explore the steps required to reform the Venezuelan Constitution so that he can be reelected repeatedly.

With his Characteristic amplitude, humility and democratic spirit, the Venezuelan President heard the clamor coming from the people that want him forever and ever in the position so that Venezuela can never rise from the ashes he plans to bury the country in after he is done (If he is ever done!)

Asking God for help (We are sure even God is tired by now), Chavez said he would be around until 2021, which would imply no help from God in his book. In Chavez' mind, if God had anything to say on the matter he would be around until at least 2061. In our minds, if God had any say on the matter, Chavez would have lost in 2006.

But seriously, the move indicates that Chavez understands that it is now or never and indeed it is. Any minute that goes by will decrease his popularity as the impact of oil prices is felt. So, he either does it now or never.

It is obviously illegal for Chavez to request this. The Constitution is very clear in that such a request can only be made once during a Presidential term and Chavez already tried it in 2007. The fake legal argument that will be used is that it is "the people" that will be requesting it this time and last time it was him and his National Assembly. Now, it will be the PSUV party, which did not exist then and of course the phantom "people" who could care less and haven't really asked for it.

The question now is how they will try to rush this to vote in the knowledge that the sooner the better the chances. Given last year's results and last week's regional elections results, I am sure we can deal Huguito another loss on the matter.

And if, as he claimed tonight, there is no Chavismo without Chavez, then the "people" will put a final nail on Chavismo's tomb, unless Chavez has something more ommninous in mind.

The Devil's XXXXXXXXX

Observations focused on the problems of an underdeveloped country, Venezuela, with some serendipity about the world (orchids, techs, science, investments, politics) at large. A famous Venezuelan, Juan Pablo Perez Alfonzo, referred to oil as the devil's excrement. For countries, easy wealth appears indeed to be the sure path to failure. Venezuela might be a clear example of that.
