Reply #15: Did he really, really, really call Obama "an ignoramus"?

'Cause not all reports mention it. In fact, only two do:

For example, from the International Herald Tribune:

Chavez: Obama seems to lack knowledge on region

CARACAS, Venezuela: Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said President Barack Obama doesn't seem to know much about what's going on in Latin America.

Chavez made the remark in clips of an interview with Al-Jazeera shown late Friday, also saying Brazil's president came away from his recent talks with Obama not entirely pleased.

"What I read between the lines," Chavez said, is that "Obama has for now — and that can be overcome — a great lack of knowledge about what's really going on here" in Latin America.

The Venezuelan leader also said he thinks Obama "is still reading the same garbage the advisers pass on to him." He told the pan-Arab TV channel that Obama seems to be taking advice from many of the same officials who worked under former President George Bush.
