They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery:

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela will switch off lights for hours at a time in Caracas and other cities such as oil town Maracaibo in planned blackouts to tackle power shortages that threaten President Hugo Chavez’s support.

…

Critics blame the government for not investing enough in the national grid since Chavez took office 11 years ago.

The president say previous government made critical errors by building most of the nations energy infrastructure on one river that is affected by rainfall.

He “inherited” a power shortage from the previous administration though he’s been in office for 11 years.

The “Obama Defense” only works on the American media, comrade.

Not that he has to worry about the Venezuelan media that he took over bailed out years ago.
