President Hugo Chavez was sworn in for a new six-year term Wednesday, beginning what he has called a stronger push to remake Venezuela as a socialist state.
Chavez took the oath of office at the National Assembly five weeks after a sweeping re-election victory he has said will allow him to pursue more radical changes, including plans to nationalize "strategic" power and telecommunications companies
Raising his right hand, Chavez said: "Fatherland. Socialism or death - I swear it."


It's all noise and face time. He's not a moron, he knows he's gotta keep the oil moving and he knows we'll keep buying it. This noisy shit makes him look tough, costs him nothing and helps get him in good with the OPEC powers that be. Smokescreen, plain and simple.
