What’s a Pasta company doing in Venezuela? Isn’t this like picante sauce made in New York City?

Relax. It’s just temporary. They’ll give it back when a Republican is in the White House.

“They’ll give it back when a Republican is in the White House.”

Exactly. BO has emboldened the thug by fist-bumping with him. Chavez knows nothing is going to happen to him.

They probably thought it was acceptable when they saw OUR government seizing control of American businesses.

As long as none of our citizenry are taken too, I can afford to not worry overmuch about it. Just lace the sauce with laxatives and wait.

I also imagine that no one in Venezuela is going to seize any Chinese properties. The Chinese government is just itching for a war and all of us know it.

That's two companies this week that Venezuela just stole from US corporations.

What's Obama gonna do about it?
