Chavez’s purpose in giving away the oil was to embarrass President Bush. Since President Bush is about to leave office, there is no purpose in continuing the program.

Since Chavez knows that he has a friend coming into office, he no longer wants to embarrass the President.

$50/bbl oil has cut into Chavez's cash flow, too.

I was thinking along the same lines. I doubt if Kennedy was “suckered” about anything. The program no longer serves its purpose to try to embarrass President Bush so it is time to end it.
