My latest article, Brazil’s Lula to Visit Obama is up at Real Clear World.
Let’s hope that visit is better handled than the Gordon Brown visit.
Maybe Pres Lula can explain free market principals to Pres Obama as a mugged-by-reality socialist to a wannabe socialist?
Obviously the previous response is confused and certainly knows nothing of the economic structure of Brasil which has been criticized in the US for its leftist tilt and economic management but because of that management and regulation Brasil is experiencing the least impact of any developed or developing economy. As to Obama socialism,first I question whether the writer knows the definition of socialist or socialism as it applies to economics. I suspect what the root of the comment is solely based on the well worn right wing Republican chestnut. Easy to accuse and call names, more challenging to actually have ideas to correct the situation the world finds itself. I am sure Lula will have much to say and I am certain the President will also. Pat..so ya know…Obamas popularity in Brasil is in the 80% range. Live with change.
So I thought by coming to Brazil I could get away from hearing about his lord most merciful Barack Obama by returning to Brazil for another extended stay. The crisis has slowed down business to the point that its not that much of a loss for me. I am tired of the press fawning and standing in line to provide Obama with oral favors whilst on their knees. What have I found out? Many Brazilians see right through “The Messiah”. Many people from Portugal also. The press always trys to paint the rest of th world as gullible fools that support the democrat party line but let me tell you that is a completely confected story.
So what happens? There is talk of Obama visiting Brazil. I have already given up the brazilian fist bump because Obama uses it. Please do not make me give up my paradise Brazil Mr President. Please do not visit. There is nothing for you here. Just a beautiful country with beautiful people who you would be very out of place with given your finger flipping white person hating self. I’m just a typical white person who left the god damned country because I can not stand your psycho babble leftist policies that are a flimsy excuse to loot the country.
Can you just please stay away? They know you are a fraud just as much as I do. Brazil has had MORE than its share of charlatans and they spot you coming a 6000 miles away.
…. oh and by the way….most people I know here think Lula is a putz. A socialist using tax money to buy votes just like you do. In fact he wants the term limits lifted so he can run YET again. In a country that was a military dictatorship until only 25 years ago you can imagine that goes over like a lead balloon.
I am curious of one thing however. When you in the press and John Stewart are providing your oral favors to Obama does he like it more straight on or more of a from the side thing? I guess we would know if you did your job and interviewed Mr. Sinclair.
