This is how President Barack Obama’s trip to Latin America, which is scheduled to begin Friday, is shaping up:
• BRAZIL — Here the emphasis is expected to be on business and forging a relationship for the future.
U.S. officials say Obama will stress Brazil’s growing role in the world economy. Not only is Brazil expected to be the world’s fifth largest economy by 2016, the year Rio hosts the Olympic Games, but there have been recent, massive discoveries of deep-water oil reserves. Infrastructure projects leading up to the 2014 World Cup in Brazil also are expected to create opportunities for U.S. business.

He’s taking the Yeti? Why? I’ve never seen her golf. She won’t fit in at the gay bath house.
And there’s the WH vegetable garden. Who’s going to brush the frost from the rhubarb?
This article raises more questions than it answers.
Okay, I’m ROTFL.
Yes, South America is important to us. But it’s ridiculous for him to drive our oil industry out of the Gulf of Mexico and then fawn all over Brazil because it took our rigs -— btw, with a huge loan spurred on by Obama!
Another sickening pull-quote from this article.
Not bloody likely!

The subterfuge, I suspect even TOTUS does not know about. He should go as POTUS. Do you have a suspect agenda?
