CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez said on Sunday his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama was at best an "ignoramus" for saying the socialist leader exported terrorism and obstructed progress in Latin America.
"He goes and accuses me of exporting terrorism: the least I can say is that he's a poor ignoramus; he should read and study a little to understand reality," said Chavez, who heads a group of left-wing Latin American leaders opposed to the U.S. influence in the region.
Chavez said Obama's comments had made him change his mind about sending a new ambassador to Washington, after he withdrew the previous envoy in a dispute last year with the Bush administration in which he also expelled the U.S. ambassador to Venezuela.
"When I saw Obama saying what he said, I put the decision back in the drawer; let's wait and see," Chavez said on his weekly television show, adding he had wanted to send a new ambassador to improve relations with the United States after the departure of George W. Bush as president.

4. Anyone who says Chavez exports terrorism *is* an ignoramus. I have not seen one act of terrorism
come out of that country since Chavez was elected President.

I popped over there to see what they are saying. They are coming to Chavez's defense! Some are denying he actually said that ("translation problems"), some are claiming Reuters is a biased news organization, and some say, "Heck, yes, Obama is an ignoramus on this issue!"
I should have known. :thatsright:
A bunch of loons over there...

Even from a pinko rag like the L.A. Times. But, dismiss away, anyway, because it doesn't fit your obscured worldview.
