What a disgusting suck-up.
What a stupid thing to say?!
The USA...not so much.
President Barack Obama held up emerging powerhouse Brazil on Sunday as a model of economic and democratic transformation that leaders in the troubled Middle East should try to copy.
LOL LOL LOL Note to dem lurkers:
Will you please stop supporting this stupid POS now?
If this is what passes for intellect on the left then you don’t have the brains to blow your nose.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the hard left President of Brazil, and their coziness with Chavez that makes them such a suitable example to the Fool on the Hill.
Duplicate thread!

So where’s the pic of the Brazilian model?
What message did he have for the people in the slums of Brazil he visited while showing off his shinny limo? (from an AP story)
Yeh, those massive slums in Rio and San Paulo are something for the Middle East to “look up” to. You know Barry, the ones that government hit squads routinely assassinate street “youths.” You had to have seen them? You didn’t just visit the “pretty” side of Brazil did you? /sarc
That makes no sense whatsoever
The Middle East already has slums..so take government control of them = still slums.
With a population that is 6.84 black, and 0.02% muslim, I can see where it might be a country to be emulated.
” poignantly recalled how he had watched “Black Orpheus,” a movie set in a Brazilian favela, with his mother as a child.”
I’m trying to figure out how and when Barry saw
this very dark foreign film with his mother.
Or why she thought it was appropriate fare for a child.
I remember seeing Disney movies with my parents...
Black Orpheus was filmed in Portuguese in 1959.
Barry was born in 1961.
He moved to Indonesia with his mother at age 6
and returned to Hawaii around age 10,
while his mother remained in Indonesia.
So, he had to have allegedly seen it before he was 6.
But, where ?
If this foreign film was still being shown a few years
after it as made ,
it would have been featured in an art house theater .
Were there any in Honolulu in the early 1960s ?
And the film would have been shown with English subtitles.
Could Barry read them at 6 ??
And if he saw the film with his mother in Jakarta-it would have had Indonesian subtitles.
I’m not sure exactly where to start here. I suppose the even more obvious question is, exactly how anyone in the US government, particularly the leader, who has blown through trillions of dollars of money the people don’t actually have, is in a position to suggest behavior to anyone.
Maybe it’s that wherever he was born, he spent a lot of time in Chicago, where you might hear...”Y’know whatcher problem is? I’ll tell ya whatcher problem is...”
So... Obama is going to give Middle Eastern countries billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars so they can drill in the Gulf of Mexico too?
It is ALWAYS about him. What a classless thing to say.
