38. Chavez is a left wing Bush, driving out the middle class in droves
Sorry, but despite how much he hate Bush, Chavez just isn't a terribly responsible leader. He's selling off Citgo to the Saudis, nationalizing businesses recklessly, re-writing the constitution to increase his own power, overregulating businesses, stealing votes. He's replacing corporate corruption in Venezuela with socialist corruption--hardly an improvement. Sure, he's built a few more houses for the poor in Venezuela. But the way he's ruining his country's economy along the way isn't going to help anybody in the long run. History will judge Chavez as a short sighted egomaniac who thought he was above the law... just a notch above Bush, if only because Chavez isn't starting any vanity wars.

Let's pick a real hero.
