think that this article is rather one sided. Yes, I do agree with Mike Whitney that Obama has been quite the let down, in consideration with the promises that he has made to the people. There are many great ideas that Obama has, but have they been carried out? You can say anything you want, but your actions are what proves you are a true leader. For example, Obama promised to restore the Great Lakes, yet that bill never passed and he didn't lobby for it like he promised. This is just one example, and there are countless other examples that I'm sure you can think of.
However, look at what Obama has to work with. The government in the USA is so corrupt and was already destroyed before he started his presidency, that he is going to have to build the USA from the ground up. Clearly, that isn't going to happen overnight, and we shouldn't have such high expectations of him.
I believe it isn't right to compare Chavez and Obama, as they are rulers of completely different countries with very different needs. However, when looking at Venezuela, I can see why the USA would feel twinges of jealousy as they can see the leader actively taking on a role in society and being a hero to the public.
