Chavez Accuses O-I

O-I has invested money in two glass manufacturing plants in Venezuela and is providing jobs to about 1000 Venzuelans.  Still Hugo Chavez accuses the company:

"The leftist leader criticized the company's practices in the country, saying it had been "taking away the money of Venezuelans and exploiting local people. Chavez did not detail his complaints about the company."


Meanwhile, O-I, is trying to be very cool and politically correct.   (We surely would not want to say anything bad about the dictator Chavez (friend of obama).)

"There was no immediate reaction from the company, based in Perrysburg, Ohio. "

Another source reported the accusation this way:

Owens-Illinois, the world’s largest producer of glass containers, was exploiting workers and damaging the environment, Mr. Chavez said in comments carried on late-night state television.


“The expropriation is already ready of this glass company. What’s it called? Owens-Illinois. Expropriate it,” Mr. Chavez said. “Owens-Illinois is a company with North American capital that has been exploiting workers.”

Doesn't this sound just like obama who also is opposed to conmpanies with capital, companies with profits and companies that provide real job.  Hugo Chavez and Obama are certainly two peas in a pod.

How to steal a glass container manufacturing plant

On the evening of October 25th, O-I learned that Hugo Chavez (dictator, Venezuela) had expropriated the company's two manufacturing facilities in Venezuela.  The company had no advance notice of this.  Apparently the Venezuelan military positioned at one of the two facilities was a show of strength that the dictator could not be challenged.  O-I is not the first company to have this happen, and they will not be the last.

This is an appropriate word picture for Americans at this time, because this is exactly where the obama agenda is heading.  obama, like chavez, believes that government has or should have absolute power over every individual and every business.  Stay tuned America, we might be next!
