But it was only days before that Chavez was calling Obama ignorant:

Quote:
"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.
So to then go up and shake hands, exchange smiles and pleasantries... It makes Obama appear weak and tends to legitimize Chavez and add to his supporters.

Not a good move, IMO.
