Yes, that is the descriptive term used by Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez to describe the President of the United States of America. President Obama's crime in this instance? To accuse Chavez of "exporting terrorism" and being an obstacle to progress in the region. "At least one could say, 'poor ignorant person,'" Chavez shared over the air last week.
One of the liberal utopian dreams during the past few years has been that once the Bush administration was done, we could settle down to a nice, cozy peace with all of these brutal tyrants. I guess we have moved up Chavez's food chain. Our President is no longer "the devil;" he is merely "ignorant."
I suppose that President Obama will be looking for a bigger olive branch. Lucky us.

Chuck,
It's kind of funny because I figured these two would get along. Obama is a weak president who would never consider threatening Chavez... Just what Hugo should want... And Chavez is a socialist leader... the very ambition of Barack Obama!
Those are certainly complimentary attributes, but I think that conservative analysts are right... again. It was said all along that Chavez's animosity is toward American liberty, not the office of the President. Therefore, it does not matter who the president is.
The notion that "the world" would fawn all over America once G.W. Bush left office is a liberal fantasy. As usual, they are wrong.
What do you suppose the next step us is from ignorant?
Hi Grammy! Good to have you visit.
I don't know exactly, but I'm sure that the beloved pres. Chavez will think of something. He just has such a way with words.
(Can you imagine standing for hours through some of the speeches these dictators give? The length of dictator's speeches alone should be reason enough to make us ensure that we keep a limited government.)
