Stole this link from vulgarlad, but I can vouch for Chavez and his attempts to redirect this income. And that he is *really* disliked by Shrub & Co.

Chavez really is disliked by Bush, mostly he is actually democratically elected. They try and pitch an entire "illegitimate government" thing, but it's absolute crap. He's legit and wants business in Venezuela, just wants not to be exploited for oil.

This is one of those instances however when one questions the legitimacy of the article. This smells an aweful lot like this email (http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/saudigas.asp) that went around a while back.

Citgo really is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Venezuelan Republic, though they are HQ'd in Texas.
