Some say that being a president of a capitalist government is taking responsibility for capitalism and confusing the masses.

<title>Chavez plays oil card in Nicaragua _ csmonitor.com</title>

With Nicaragua experiencing a long running medical strike in response to low public sector wages, in itself a result of IMF mandated structural reforms, the election could well send Ortega back to power after sixteen years.]]></description>
