How about oil from the evil communist dictatorship of Venezuela led by Chavez the prick? From the link posted in the other thread:

 

"Venezuela's government, which has had tense relations with Washington, offered humanitarian aid and fuel. Venezuela's Citgo Petroleum Corp. pledged a $1 million donation for hurricane aid."

Gee Wal-Mart pledged $1m too. Generous from some of the biggest and most prosperous companies in the country.

 

"Pledge" by the way doesn't always materialize, from companies and/or governments. I however gave cash. But it wasn't QUITE so much. :blink:

Nevertheless, they did in fact offer aid. And, in this case at least, there may be quite a few Americans who agree with what Chavez is saying.

He offered first aid in order to try and show off and say "hey look, I have oil"

He hardly needs to say to the US "look, I have oil". Considering they're one of the largest importers of Venezuelan oil, I would imagine them to be well aware of the fact.
