Chavez's Proposal Fails

Big news out of South America. Hugo Chavez's addendum to Venezuela's 1999 constitution did NOT pass due to a 51-49 vote by the people. One of the possible amendments was that the president would be able to be re-elected an infinitely. There would be no two-term limit. Hopefully this result is an accurate view of how Venezuelans feel about the socialist leader Chavez. This guy is in the loon clique along with Castro, Ahmadinejad, and bin Laden. Thankfully he will not be an infinite dictator like Castro. We already have the problem of crazy leaders in four different regions of the world at the moment. It is comforting that at least one of these four leaders will be out of power in four years.
