John, I am a very proud American and my ancestors and family come from the Dominican Republic of which I have become quite proud of because of the way they have handled the Haitian crisis, even if by default and no media coverage. After working since day one with a group of physicians trying to get hydration and antibiotics to the children, which I will personally accompany and stay to use them until it runs out, I have become tired, beat up and in this condition trying an attempt to recruit some, I unfortunately used Irony and cynicism which gave the impression I was downplaying the USA, MY COUNTRY, and praising Chavez and his clones. Again, my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding I am a proud American, I dispise Chavez and all he represent , and I am only trying to give back some of the good God has given me throughout my life.
