Breaking News: Chavez Reappears to Assess Flood Damages

So, as predicted by my friend, and after being absent from the public eye for at least four days, President Hugo Chavez reappered today in public dressed in a military outfit and saving the people that were stranded in Camuri. El universal reports that he is assessing the situation of the Vargas State. This seems to be his natural way of handling an emergency situation: disappear for a while and then appear like the man in control.

I have a friend that lived the 1999 Vargas tragedy. Her family lived in Vargas and lost everything. Her mom and her grandparents that were in their eighties spent two days in the roof of their house waiting for help and seeing how their neighbors disappeared....meanwhile the president was in la Orchila celebrating.
