Florida lawmakers are trying to turn the Obama administration’s attention toward two weeks of escalating deadly protests in Venezuela, where protesters frustrated with the socialist government have taken to the streets to demand a better country.
The late Hugo Chavez’s Bolivarian experiment, continued by his handpicked successor Nicolas Maduro, has resulted in an economy in tatters, sky-high crime, and massive government corruption.
Maduro has put the world on “alert” that he’s “facing a developing coup plan against the democracy and the government that I preside over, orchestrated by a small group of irresponsible leaders, violent, full of hatred and personal ambitions.” Protesters have demanded he resign.
“So we are deeply concerned by rising tensions, by the violence surrounding these February 12th protests, and by the issuance of a warrant for the arrest of opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. We join the Secretary General of the OAS in condemning the violence and calling on authorities to investigate and bring to justice those responsible for the deaths of peaceful protestors. We also call on the Venezuelan government to release the 19 detained protestors and urge all parties to work to restore calm and refrain from violence,” State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf said at Friday’s press briefing.

Funny you would say that. If Obama and Mooshell had anything to say it would be, “Let ‘em eat crickets.”
They can’t possibly be expecting help from this president. If anything he will support the government.

Amen. These brave Venezuelans are weighing heavily on my heart.
0bunghole supported the takeover of Honduras by communists he sure won’t support the overthrow of communists in Venezuela.
Obama’s taking notes so he can copy Maduro’s methods here.
He’s ignoring it hoping it doesn’t happen here.
There is no coup plan. The Chavistas are the ones doing the killing and violence. The reason why the WH is silent is because they support this dirty war on the people.
They were all for the overthrow of ME dictators in lieu of democracy...crickets here...
They are in the same boat as the people of Egypt, freedom ain’t politically correct!
They are in the same boat as the people of Egypt, freedom ain’t politically correct!
Knew a fellow from Venezuela who was a leftist and complained about the Capitalist society here...and went back to Venezuela. I would imagine that he is having fun now...heh. Trying to talk common sense to him was useless. Most of these folks deserve what they wished for!
So say Obama gets up on TV and says “We stand by the people of Venezuela against the existing government.” Now what?
Instead of a horse they use a burro..
Unforgivable. Obama is despicable.
Now it is going full-bore Stalinist
The LEFTIST SOCIALIST DEMOCRAT LOSERS in Venezuela are blaming Bush for their disastrous failings also.
The thing is this. The opposition is not trying to overthrow the government. The opposition still talks about the next election. As if there would ever be a real vote. Meanwhile the government is killing dissidents and locking up their opposition leaders on bogus charges.
The whole discussion of any “coup plot” is a thin mask to justify their dirty war.
Hoping what doesn’t happen here?
The government and their agents are killing dissidents and opposition members are being thrown in prison on bogus charges. The government is carrying out a dirty war, the whole “coup” thing is nothing but words.
