Forget about doing business in Venezuala. That's not going to happen in the near future. So tourism is left and it's not worth it.

Just due to plain old fashioned incompetence.

I also don't think Obama cares two cents about Venezuela.

If Obama did want Maduro out of power, all he has to do is sit back and watch this Maduro do the job for him.

Not everything is some US/CIA plot. Sometimes, governments are just incompetent.

Maduro and company are doing a bang up job of running the Venezuelan economy into the toilet all by themselves.
