Chavez keeping one step ahead of Obama: Arrests opposition leader, announces protestors will be prosecuted

This is what we should expect if we don't stop Obama:
Venezuelan authorities have arrested an opposition leader for alleged violence during a protest.   
Venezuela's state-run Bolivarian News Agency says a local court ordered the arrest of Caracas official Richard Blanco.
 Authorities detained Blanco for allegedly injuring a police officer during a demonstration a week ago, the agency said Saturday. The march was one of many protests over a new education law critics say could lead to political indoctrination in schools.

Attorney General Luisa Ortega has said she will ask prosecutors to crack down on unruly protesters who she says are trying to destabilize President Hugo Chavez's government.
And this (AP):
Venezuela's top prosecutor threatened on Friday to have severe criminal charges brought against unruly demonstrators, accusing opposition protesters of trying to destabilize President Hugo Chavez's government.

Anti-government groups are looking for "any reason to create chaos," Attorney General Luisa Ortega said.

In recent weeks, sporadic protests have erupted in Venezuela's capital over a controversial education law that critics warn could lead to political indoctrination in schools as a way to strengthen support for Chavez's leftist policies.

Ortega dismissed the protesters' complaints and warned that demonstrators who disturb "tranquility and the public peace" could be charged with "civil rebellion" — a crime punishable with up to 24 years in prison.

"All they want is to destabilize," she said. "The Public Ministry won't allow this to continue."
I BET HOLDER AND OBAMA ARE TAKING NOTES... MUSTN'T LET THOSE ASTROTURFING TEABAGGERS DISRUPT PUBLIC TRANQUILITY.

*******UPDATE:  SERIOUSLY: OBAMA IS ACTIVELY AIDING THE ALLIES OF CHAVEZ INSIDE HONDURAS.
