There is a danger (for Venezuela) that Hugo Chavez will be seen by historians as the Juan Peron of that nation. To wit, a leader who took a relatively affluent nation and by means of popular redistributionist policies, put it on a path to continuing political disruption and economic chaos.
That is, of course, what happened to Argentina. There is every evidence that those are the same policies which Barack Obama would follow in the United States, if only Congress would let him.
Can COTTonLINE imagine Michelle Robinson Obama popularly deified as Evita Duarte Peron has been? Sorry, no.
