Week of November 16, 2009<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

News Item:<\/strong> As a major petroleum producer, Venezuela has one of the world’s largest reserves of crude oil, and President Hugo Ch\u00e1vez has been applauded for using his country’s oil wealth to establish social welfare programs that target the poorest populations. Yet, periodic electrical blackouts have frustrated many Venezuelan citizens who are protesting the government’s irresponsible management of its energy programs. United States officials have often seen Ch\u00e1vez as a threat to democracy in the Latin American region. Ch\u00e1vez, a leader of the Bolivarian Revolution, has been equally disapproving of the U.S., especially after its alleged involvement in the 2002 coup which temporarily removed Ch\u00e1vez from office.<\/p>\n
