The Trillion Dollar Revolutionary

Reporter John Sweeney interviews President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela.

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela calls the United States ‘Dracula’ and George W. Bush ‘Mr Danger’, ‘a drunk’ and ‘a donkey’. He can get away with being rude to the most powerful man on earth because his country sits on trillions of dollars worth of oil. Chavez boasts that he is spending his oil bonanza on the poor, but even London mayoral candidate Boris Johnson has called this 'Caracas'. Reporter John Sweeney interviews Chavez.
