U.S. State Department deputy spokesman Tom Casey announced that the recent increases in lawmaking powers that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez received “have caused us some concern.”

Chavez has had enough of the United States’s ‘meddling’ in Venezuela and its affairs and has no qualms about his feelings. On a live television show, Chavez said “go to hell, gringos,” and requested that the United States mind their own business.

Oh Hugo, you’re such a charmer. Classy!
