Gordon Brown’s efforts to broker an £80billion bailout for world trade on a trip to Brazil hit a stumbling block tonight when the country’s President lashed out at ‘white, blue-eyed’ bankers for bringing the world economy to its knees.

Mr Brown watched on uneasily as his host, President Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva, launched a bizarre tirade in which he warned that next week’s G20 summit in London would be a ‘spicy’ affair.
President Lula said it was completely unfair that the poorest people in the world were suffering most for the mistakes of wealthy, Western financiers.
‘Now they have demonstrated that they don’t know anything about economics.’
President Lula, head of Brazil’s main left-wing party, said that ‘no black man or woman, no indigenous person, no poor person’ had been in any way culpable for the global banking crisis.
‘I’m not acquainted with any black banker,’ he said. ‘The part of humanity that’s responsible should pay for the crisis.’

Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek - current holder of the EU presidency - has branded US President Barack Obama's fiscal stimulus package and financial bail-out 'the way to hell'.

"It's the chickens from those white blue-eyed bankers, coming home to roost all over the black man!! I wanna know, where's mah ten million dollar mansion?? Oh wait, it's right here..."
Perhaps Luiz can talk Mugabe into overseeing Brazilian financial interests. No black bankers?! Why I was just contacted via email today by a Nigerian banker who said I qualified for funds that were being held for those who had lost money to Nigerian scammers. I kid you not.
Agreed, but upon reflection I can't really think of anything at all in the stoat cave that's "made in Brazil"....quite a testament to their proud stature in the world economy, isn't it? LMAO
Perhaps some rubber items I suppose......
Harvard University, or Harvard Agricultural College, as in keith “Ivy League” olbermann, who actually has a diploma from Cornell Agricultural College, with a major in “broadcasting”, i.e. working at the campus radio station.
Time fo' a drink, massa!
hmmmm...perhaps from another openly-racist President who rode the race card all the way into Office?
Lula is a jerk.....
It’s not easy to ignore a mouse.
Anyone want to call this idiot a racist? Obama? Come on, Obama.
I would LOVE to see anyone in the White House Press Corps grow a pair and ask Zero what his reaction is to such a vicious insult to Great Britain, and the man that he gave that stylish K-Mart DVD set to.......
