Latin America's giving up on Obama too
IBD Editorials ^ | April 12, 2012 | Andrew Malcom

President Obama is off on Air Force One tomorrow, this time for another summit in Latin America.

Not that much will get accomplished at the two-day Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia, the sixth in an ongoing series.

As with pretty much anything Obama is doing these days, the trip has more to do with election year politics at home than foreign affairs in countries that most Americans hardly ever think of unless they're featured on a popular TV show like "NCIS," as Cartagena was this week.

The Democrat wants to be seen lavishing attention on the homelands of many American Hispanics, now the fastest-growing voting bloc. He's received considerable criticism for not delivering his promised immigration reforms.

On the way to Colombia, the president will stop briefly in Tampa Friday not to hail this summer's Republican National Convention there, but to talk up Latin America trade in an important state come Nov. 6.

Again in June, Obama feels the need to visit Mexico, where his daughter Malia spent her school spring break (although no one is supposed to talk about that, so forget you read anything here).

But here's the problem for Obama: Just as his favorable rating and job approval have plunged during these past 39 months at home, the same is happening all across Latin America.

I’d like to see them run Barry through the wringer over “Fast and Furious”. Maybe they can get some answers that we can’t.

“Again in June, Obama feels the need to visit Mexico, where his daughter Malia spent her school spring break (although no one is supposed to talk about that, so forget you read anything here).”

The pandering isn’t even subtle any more. I so wish his little procession would get treated to an eyefull of the real Mexico! But it won’t get covered much because they kill journalists in Mexico.

Scroll down for pictures from yesterday.....and have a strong stomach.

Bambi despises Latin America. His only buds there are Chavez, Castro, and the leaders of the (relatively) newly Marxist countries, Bolivia, Nicaragua and Ecuador.

The Brazilians and the Argentines are leftists, but they’re off in their own special space and who knows what they’re up to.

He's probably still wondering why they don't take him seriously.
