Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro seeks to collect 10 million signatures against US President Barack Obama, reported USA Today.
When President Obama declared Venezuela a "national security threat" and smacked the country with sanctions last month, an overheated response from the South American nation's highly combustible government was inevitable, added the newspaper.
And so, President Maduro is drumming up a petition, to be signed by Venezuelans opposed to the measure, to hand Obama in person at the Summit of the Americas in Panama April 10-11.
That all sounds fair enough, until you realize Maduro has set himself the improbable target of getting 10 million signatures — equivalent to one in three Venezuelans, including kids — in less than a month.
Even for a spectacularly popular leader, that would have been a tall order. But for Maduro, with an approval rating of just 22% and his country is staring into an economic abyss, it could be impossible.
