"Maduro, who celebrated his 51st birthday Friday night with a serenade by Mexican singer Juan Gabriel, has called on his supporters to ignore the protests and instead join officials in a weekend-long, nationwide audit of retailers to ensure they're complying with new rules capping prices and profits.
Two weeks after Maduro ordered the military to occupy several retail chains and slash prices on refrigerators, televisions and other appliances, long lines of bargain hunters continue to form outside stores in Caracas and elsewhere. The president has vowed to use emergency decree powers granted by Congress this week to deepen the crackdown against businesses he accuses of gouging consumers and sabotaging the South American country."
This sounds like tactics Bobo would be in favor of.

does anyone believe Maduro actually won the election legitimately?
Could be.
Was there any mention of lynching? Or tar-and-feathering of the business owners? ;-)
No, we don't know who she is....
Before the invasion of Grenada, when they were building the oversized runway, Congressman Ron Dellums (Traitor: Oakland) sent his aide, Barbara Lee to the politboro meeting there with instructions to have them make suggestions for changes to his report on the runway, which he would make.
We've had communists in the legislature for decades.
The nationalization of the foreign oil concerns in Venezuela stands on it's own infamy. Then we fast forward to Maxine Waters threatening to do the same to Shell Oil, and under the guise of U.S. public interests. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, etc.
Socialism Lite, and Communism Lite, are being marketed every bit as well as the Bud Lite that we all love to see between plays on Super Bowl day. We smile at the clever ads (read: propaganda), and rush out to stock the fridge.
'Hey, Barry...could you grab me another Lite, while you're up?'
I found it amazing to see that this program was STILL going on, as of Jan. 13, 2013. I was even more shocked to learn that one of the Kennedy's was key to this:
"The program is a partnership between the Venezuelan state oil company Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (PDVSA), its subsidiary CITGO and Citizens Energy Corporation, a nonprofit organization founded by former US Rep. Joseph P. Kennedy II that provides discounted and free home heating services and supplies to needy households in the United States and abroad. It has been supported from the beginning by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez."

I can't seem to find a straight answer as to what Chavez's death has done to this program.... ;-(
