I spoke with a few friends in Brazil over the weekend. They say that in general, the protests have been small, and appears mostly to be organized by Chavista groups in South America. The friends don't particularly care about Bush, but they say that the general Brazilian population hate these particular protestors because they are the typical leftist/student groups that tend to thrive in the universities (same stuff here in the US). The general population is more upset with local politics than with Pres. Bush himself. They don't understand why people don't protest current domestic policies which are more important to them, than what Pres. Bush is doing. I remember when Clinton went to Greece during the Serbia/Kosovo conflict. The South Americans have nothing compared to what Clinton encountered in Greece.
I noticed that, while Fox indicated that the demonstrations were mostly pro-Bush, they only aired the nutbags.
Different set of morons.
This is the best Spring break ev.... HEY LOOK! Isn't that Ted Kennedy?
How is this different from any other trip that our American presidents take. We could see this in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, anywhere it is the same old, same old, and still we just keep on shoveling money to them. I am sick and tired of paying for the basic needs of these people when their own governments don't give a damn whether they live or not, why should the American taxpayer? What do we get in return other than their undying hate? Why can't our government find any deserving AMERICAN poor to help?
I don't understand these people. Why destroy the buildings and churches? What good does that do.
As for the chicks with stickers on their breasts, do they not realize these stickers have to come off eventually? Breasts are very sensitive parts of the body. Odd people just odd.
If that's the way they want it, then **** 'em. I say, let's cut off all foreign aid right now - and tell all the yapping little Chihuahuas, and the half-pint tinpot Generalissimos with the bad mustaches to go piss up a rope.
A real protester would have placed the Bush stickers lower.
"Sign me tired of sending money to people who dont appreciate it."
Me too, but our compassionate leader will be doubling aid and providing health care for them to boot.

As Stupid as They Were Back in the Days of Che
Double-Dog Dittos and AMEN to that!!
There won't be any money left. Haven't you heard, Bush took the US check book with him, and he's been writing huge checks in every country he has visited. Has it done any good for America? NO!! It NEVER will. They hate us! They always have, and they always will. Jealousy is a terrible thing. So is stupidity. Someone should tell elPresidente Jorge Booosh!
