How do you like him now, Lefties?
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- President Hugo Chavez will present his blueprint for constitutional reform Wednesday, proposing sweeping changes expected to allow him to be re-elected indefinitely.
Chavez, who is seeking to transform Venezuelan society along socialist lines, unexpectedly announced late Tuesday that he would unveil his project before crowds of supporters at the National Assembly. He predicted it would bring renewed political upheaval to Venezuela.
Chavez's political allies firmly control the National Assembly responsible for reviewing his proposal as well as the Supreme Court. His critics accuse him of becoming obsessed with power and seeking to become a lifelong leader just like his close friend Fidel Castro.
Chavez rejects allegations that he poses a threat to democracy.
What part of "dictator for life" and "threat to democracy" does Chavez think is not congruent?
So Danny Glover, Cindy Sheehan and Sean Penn... Are you ready to take up residence in your new-found "worker's paradise?"
How do you like your "little darling" now?
