If Venezuela is so bad, maybe we should stop propping up their government importing so much of their heavy crude.

Canada produces heavy crude. Now if we only had some additional way to bring more into the US....

A country that cannot even supply enough toilet paper for its citizens is a nation security risk? On whose planet, Barry?

This smells of some sort of bigger game afoot. Look for Venezuela to be discovered or blamed for having something like having a clandestine nuclear development program or an ISIS training/staging presence.

This is just an hypothesis but it would could set the stage for a ready made cut-out to blame when an American city gets attacked.

It’s interesting, when Hugo Chavez badmouthed Bush, liberals jumped on board and joined in with Venezuela. Now liberals will have to eat their own words to fall in lockstep with Uber Obama to condemn Venezuela now<.em>

Ha. Not a problem. Review the history of Hitler, Stalin and the American commies. The Left can turn on a dime, being burdened neither by intellect nor ethics.

Maybe Venezuela has been cracking down on Muslims or something.
