What you will never read in this propaganda site:
Venezuela is the only country in the world where the economy is expected to go negative in both years, 2009 and 2010 and this with an oil price over US70 per barrel.

Chavez's project is a huge failure.
Uribe's arrogant and dyscontrol personality - Too much given to wrath, rage, narcissism, egomania, egolatry, autolatry, being the demiGod
This was Published before the elections of March 14/2009 in Colombia - And this writer seems somewhat Uribista, however what he wrote is good and true. I don't share his admiration for the President, which I see as a guy suffering from Psychological Infatuations and tendencies to Despotism.
Colombia is the main ally of the USA in Latin America, so the Corruption and Criminality of the Colombian Legislative and Executive has an impact on U. S. Policy

Colombia more secure, but democratically weak
March 11 2010
By Pablo Rojas Mejia
Colombia more secure, but democratically weak
http://colombiareports.com/opinion/the-colombiamerican/8656-colombia-more-secure-but-democratically-weak.html
Some excerpts :
A third element of democracy, press freedom, is under attack in Colombia. Much of Colombia’s mainstream media is still run by oligarchic groups with strong ties to the political establishment. A perfect example is Cambio, a popular news weekly known for its vigorous and independent investigative reporting that was recently reduced to a monthly. Cambio is owned by the Santos family, which includes former Defense Minister (and likely Uribista candidate for the Presidency) Juan Manuel Santos and current Vice President Francisco Santos. The official story is that the Santos family decided to downsize the magazine and replace its leadership because Cambio was in financial disarray. However, the magazine was actually doing quite well and most observers agree that the shakeup at Cambio was a response to its vigorous and politically inconvenient investigative reporting.
Other independent media outlets and investigative reporters have been threatened, marginalized and silenced by the political establishment. President Uribe was notoriously dismissive of dissenting journalists and media groups and frequently accused them, almost always baselessly, of sympathies for or ties to guerrilla groups and the Venezuelan government.
Finally, despite the recent show of strength by the Constitutional Court, the independence of the judiciary is increasingly under threat. Throughout his Presidency, Uribe deliberately discredited the courts, accusing them of political bias and corruption when, in fact, the judiciary has long been known to be Colombia’s most independent, honest and transparent institution. Leonardo Efraín Cerón, spokesman for a national association of judges, recently said that Uribe’s rhetorical attacks on the courts created a dangerous environment for judges, contributing to the murder of Soacha judge Fernando Patiño. Other members of the judiciary - as well as reports by international observers - confirm this general sense of growing harassment and isolation.
In short, Uribe’s legacy as a democrat is not unambiguously positive. The President has indeed improved security, but he is also leaving behind a hopelessly corrupt Congress, an appalling human rights crisis and a weakened judiciary. Though not all of these problems are new, most observers agree that Uribe has done little to address them, in some cases, has stood in the way of efforts to reduce them. His successor would do well to put bolstering Colombia’s democratic institutions near the top of his agenda, but he will have his work cut out for him.

Venezuela is the only country in the world where the economy is expected to go negative in both years, 2009 and 2010...
Really? The "only country in the world" to have negative growth in 2009 and 2010?
I'm not even convinced Venezuela will have negative growth in 2010 (as the devaluation will probably boost domestic production), but, even if this were the case, I seriously doubt that Venezuela would be the "only country in the world" to have negative growth for those years.
The Economist Intelligence Unit is convinced. I understand you are not. I am sorry Delacour, Chavez's model is a failure and there is no propaganda that will change that.
The Economist Intelligence Unit is convinced.
Convinced of what?
Convinced of the point we have been discussing (or is there something else?). Let me help you:
That Venezuela will have negative growth in 2010
