The change of mood in Plaza Bolivar could hardly be more dramatic. Less than three months ago, jubilant crowds filled the main square in Caracas to celebrate another election triumph for Hugo Chávez with chants of "Oo, ah, Chávez no se va" – Chávez won't go.

Now, however, supporters wait anxiously for any scrap of news from Havana, Cuba, where their president is fighting for his life after emergency cancer surgery.
------
Next Thursday, Chávez is supposed to be inaugurated for a further six-year term of office at a ceremony at the National Assembly, a short walk from the plaza. But the usually gregarious, publicity-loving president has not been seen or heard since his operation on 11 December, prompting speculation that he will not recover in time.

I thought he had already named a successor, or he could be like Fidel Castro and live forever.

That is the question, he has not taken the oath for his new fraud term, and the man appointed can only finish his expiring term so I read.
What is that quote, about the load moving in mystery s ways his miracles to perform. Welcome to the pitchfork chavez.

I'll give him credit for putting his life in the hands of Cuban doctors rather than flying to Miami.

Watch the Leftist Hollywierd types hit twitter when this POS assumes room temperature calling for a national day of remembrance here in the US.
