President Chavez of Venezuela gives his opinion about George W. Bush whom he calls Mr. Danger. This is on his weekly program: “Alo Presidente”
Aló Presidente (English: Hello President) is a talk show hosted by Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and broadcast on Venezuelan media every Sunday at 11:00 AM. Of variable format, the show broadcasts each Sunday on state-owned television and radio stations. The show features Chávez addressing topics of the day and touring locations where government social welfare programs are active. The show doesn’t have an official end time—it continues until Chavez is ready to stop, so the program often lasts about five hours. More than 320 episodes have aired. (Source: Wikipedia)
The president counts former Cuban leader Fidel Castro among his heroes, and nearly every week asks “How are you, Fidel?”

I like the idea of the president informally but officially addressing current issues in different locations around the country. Obama might take note of this strategy instead of appearing on late night talk shows and flubbing lines because he could still use his coveted teleprompter.
