Taking off on the everlasting question, what came first, the chicken or the egg, the question of this decade is what came first, The Chavez or the Obama in terms of rhetoric and plans of action. Either way, much of the the media in the US and Venezuela seems to be the same.
From the English version of the El Universal: Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez Frías announced on Monday that he has approved a decree to nationalize and seize the company Consolidada de Ferrys (Conferry) to ensure the safety of passengers who use ferry service to travel to the state of Nueva Esparta (northeastern Venezuela).
"It is enough! The ferry (service) of Conferry is a disaster!" Chávez said in a telephone interview with the state-run TV channel Venezolana de Televisión, the state-owned news agency AVN reported.
Chávez said that he already has a diagnosis and a recovery plan with regard to the ferry company.
"We know where the damaged ferries are and the prices they charge people. Elías Jaua (the Venezuelan Vice-President) is in charge of the task," Chávez added.
In addition to this, the Venezuelan Head of State ordered a thorough investigation into two aircraft events on Monday in the state of Bolívar.
"I called (Vice-President) Elías (Jaua), and ordered a thorough and urgent investigation. We have to put pressure on state-run and private companies to comply with maintenance of aircraft," he concluded.

This is the same kind of rhetoric that President Obama uses. He makes up an emergency, uses forceful and then takes over the industry. He, along with President Bush did with the auto and banking industries, and Obama with health care, jobs, debt etc.
And the lap dog media sucks it up for Obama just as much as they do in Venezuela.
So, who did come first, the Obama or the Chavez?
