CARACAS, Venezuela — Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez dared the United States to expel his ambassador or cut off diplomatic ties in retaliation for his rejection of Washington's choice for ambassador to Caracas.
Tensions have been growing over Chavez's refusal to accept American diplomat Larry Palmer and also over U.S. criticisms of a legislative offensive by the president's congressional allies. Lawmakers have granted Chavez expanded powers to enact laws by decree for the next year and a half, a change that opponents condemn as antidemocratic.
Chavez has said he will not accept Palmer to be ambassador due to comments he made earlier this year suggesting that morale is low in Venezuela's military and that he is concerned Colombian rebels are finding refuge in Venezuela.

We need to cut off everything to this little pig man.
and gas prices will be $6.00 a gallon yeah say that now but with our own government not allowing us to drill we are stuck...
Obama will do nothing to upset his mentor. The US is too close to being another Chavez Venezela. Look at the the BS Obama is doing with regulations instead of going to Congress.
