Perhaps if Hugo Chavez were a conservative talk radio host this story would have gotten more play...
Venezuela's Chavez Calls Obama 'Ignorant'
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) ? Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on Sunday called President Barack Obama "ignorant," saying he has a lot to learn about Latin America.
The socialist leader said he had been ready to name a new ambassador in Washington when Obama took office, but put that on hold after the new U.S. president accused him of "exporting terrorism" and being an obstacle to progress in the region.
"At least one could say, 'poor ignorant person,'" Chavez said on his weekly television and radio program, adding that Obama "should read a little bit so that he learns about ... the reality of Latin America."
No word on Mr. Chavez's opinion of the president's NCAA bracket.
