WASHINGTON (CNN) – President Obama took a lighthearted jab at Republicans Saturday after a nearly 35-minute press op with Brazilian President Lula da Silva in the Oval Office. It came when a Brazilian reporter asked if him whether he planned to visit the Amazon. Obama joked: "You know, I would love a trip to the Amazon. I suspect that the Republican Party would love to see me travel through the Amazon and maybe get lost." Obama said he was looking forward to visiting Brazil, though no dates had been set. "I will tell you that because I'm somebody who grew up in Hawaii, I felt it was very important that I at least go to Rio, where I understand the beaches are pretty nice."

Is he the President of the United States or just of the Liberals, Socialists and Communists of the United States?
It amazes me Bush never once attacked his critics like this Clown does. A President that attacks and tries to marginalize his political opposition by calling them out directly is a Danger to this Republic.
Doesn't he understand that 58 Million Americans voted for the other guy?

What’s with his public service ads on TV from various .org’s?
I don’t recall any other president engaging is such political use of public service ads.

"You know, I would love a trip to the Amazon. So what's stopping you?
You're not still worried about that whole passport issue are you? C'mon. You're the President of The United States. What are the odds that someone at Customs is going to stop you?

Didn’t Obama admonish Americans to put away childish things in his Inaugural speech ?
Obama is the most puerile CinC we have ever had...WaaaaWaaaa.
And his thin skin makes Bill Clinton’s epidermis look like steel.
To: Typical_Whitey
Always the victim this Obama.
Actually he’s a smartass.
No class. The father of Sammy Davis Jr. told him “always show at a little cuff.”
Obama should read more.

Perhaps he could do something useful down there by finding some Nazi war criminals.

"I will tell you that because I'm somebody who grew up in Hawaii, I felt it was very important that I at least go to Rio, where I understand the beaches are pretty nice."What a stupid, childish and utterly disconnected to anything sort of thing to say.

This man has NO clue about what our country and our form of government are based on. Not a clue.
How these communists were able to wrangle their way to the very top of our government is a crying shame.
