knowledge, simon bolivar, the great revolutionary said, a man without studies is an incomplete being. we have been dominated far more by ignorance than by force. >> chavez was a voracious reader. he had a literacy program, a reading program where they gave up looks pretty would publish books in their native language and give them out free to systems across the country. he mentioned a book by noam bookky, he put chomsky's new york times best- seller list. when you are trying to raise the country, does that not put you against headwind? does that make you automatically a heated and reviled figure by at least some people in the country? >> it depends on how you manage it. he had an opportunity to reach across and deal with the elite in this country, with the managerial and technical class. this is an oil based economy. the only thing that venezuela produces is oil. everything else the imports. chavez got into power and polarized the country, he attacked the elites and they left the country. the national oil company became politicized and suffer from low investment, declining production.

bolivar as in simon bolivar in the first decades of the 19th century. chavez became a close friend and supporter as has been well documented as fidel castro as well as other regimes mahmoud ahmadinejad was another chavez ally who was welcome in caracas. cha ez opposition to u.s. policies and his socialism didn't make him all that popular in washington, d.c. chavez even accused the george w. bush administration of supporting an attempted coup against his regime in 2002 which the u.s. denied. and in 2006 chavez solidified those bad relations when he famously came to the u.n. and in a speech, identified president bush with satan. >> yesterday the devil came here. right here. it smells of sulfur, still today. >> john: tonight president obama released a statement on chavez's death that reads in part... >> john: at home cha ez was definitely and deliberately polarizing figure, much loved by the poor whom he cultivated with subsidies and much despised by the middle and upper classes whom he baited with glee. i'm thrilled to be joined by former u.s. ambassador
