236. You are correct that Chavez was not happy
and for that matter, Lula apparently was not either.

From a Brazilian newspaper, the nut graphs: (translation mine)

"Lula foi se reunir com Obama (em Washington) e eu aceitei que fizesse uma intermediação entre nós. Mandei-lhe uma mensagem na qual escrevi todas as declarações contra a Venezuela feitas pelas autoridades da Administração de Obama, entre elas as da sra. (secretária de Estado americana, Hillary) Clinton", disse Chávez.

"Lula went to meet with Obama (in Washington) and I agreed that (Lula) mediate between us. I sent him (Obama) a message in which I wrote all the remarks against Venezuela made by officials of Obama's administration, among them by Hillary Clinton," Chavez said.

O presidente venezuelano, que não deu mais detalhes do conteúdo dessa mensagem, acrescentou que, "infelizmente, Lula saiu insatisfeito com a resposta de Obama".

The Venezuelan president, who did not give more details of the message's content, added "unfortunately, Lula emerged unsatisfied with Obama's response."

"Mediante o que li nas entrelinhas e expressões (da resposta), concluí que Obama sofre de algo que pode ser superado: a ignorância do que acontece de verdade na aqui (América Latina)", disse Chávez.

According to what I read between lines and the expressions (in the response), I concluded that Obama suffers from something that can be overcome; ignorance of what truly occurs (in Latin America), Chavez said.

Segundo o chefe de Estado, essa ignorância se deve ao fato de o presidente dos Estados Unidos "ainda ouvir a mesma coisa que lhe leem alguns assessores do Pentágono e da Casa Branca que serviram à Administração anterior".

According to the head of state, that ignorance is due to the fact that the president of the United States "is still hearing the same thing read to him by some advisors who worked for the previous administration in the Pentagon and the White House.
