Mr Obama has refused to scrap a five-day trip to Latin America that will take him to Brazil, Chile and El Salvador.
Resisting demands that he should remain at home in the White House to deal with the international response to Japan’s nuclear crisis and Colonel Gaddafi’s crackdown on anti-government rebels, the president insists he can stay on top of the fast-moving developments while on the road.
Some Republican critics have complained the sunshine trip symbolises Mr Obama’s lack of leadership at a time of international chaos.
But White House press secretary Jay Carney said Mr Obama felt the visit was important to help boost U.S. jobs. 'The President is taking this trip because he is committed to growing the economy and rebalancing our national security posture,' Mr Carney said after he was asked if the trip might be shelved. 'He remains confident he can fully execute his job when he is on the road,’ added Mr Carney.
He said the President will monitor ‘all major issues, all the time’ wherever he is.
Mr Obama will be giving a speech at the Cinelandia Square in Rio on Sunday and his family is expected to join him to take in the city sights, including the famous Christ the Redeemer statue on Corcovado Mountain. The Obamas will be heading to the beach after meeting Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff in the capital Brasilia on Saturday.....

He has been listening to his idiotic Surgeon General who said people on the west coast should be buying iodine tablets to protect from radiation in Japan.
Ol Barry is no dummy, he consulted his globe and found Washington DC is 6781 miles from Tokyo, while it is 11533 miles from Tokyo to Rio. Barry figures he won’t have to take those nasty Iodine pills if he gets far enough away from trouble
Maybe he’ll forget how to get back.
Let’s face it people, we are a country without leadership. I believe they call it anarchy. This clown has been out to lunch since before he placed his hand on the bible and took the oath, a sacrilege IMO.
There are approximately 54 republicans that seem to have their collective heads on straight. The list is on another thread concerning the continuing resolution vote.
We’re going to need a helluva lot more than this to turn this thing around. Considering the fact that about 100 “tea partiers” were elected back in November you have to run the numbers. 100 steps forward; 46 steps back. If we get 54 per election cycle it will take us a while to pack the house, so to speak. By then I believe we’ll be too far gone.
That doesn’t mean we stop trying. Its just that it keeps getting harder and harder to tell the really good from the pretenders. Nothing they say, or promise is legally binding. This must stop, somehow.

Rush used the phrase “dangerously incompetent” today.
Perhaps he’ll be seeking asylum
Ignoring nukes & Libya, no problem. The Japan disaster is being touted as a nuclear bomb capable of splitting the earth in half when the impact is limited and Libyans killing Libyans is a situation we should not be butting into.
Now, not aiding the earthquake/tsunami victims is another story, but the title of the article (not the poster) relates specifically to the nukes and Libya.
LOL :)
I just can’t wait to see pictures of great leader nobama’s and grifter mooch-elle’s costumes as they bust their moves in a Carnival parade. Great fun!!!!!!!
How about the national debt and OUR economy? On the scale of one to 10, OUR economy ought to be a 10 and Japan's nuclear "Crisis" is about a 2.
My name is Barry
and when troubles starts to show
I go to Rio
Dejenero!
When the earth quakes
and reactors start to bake
I go to Rio!
De jenero!
Doing the Samba at Ipanema while the world Melts Down! What a Champ.
How about Resident Oblivious?
Wit secret stops to visit Hug and Fidel. Fidel is getting along and wants his protege to stop in.
Are the AF1 pilots named Toody and Muldoon....Air Force One Where Are You?
How much more of this utter disregard for our country and lack of leadership are we going to tolerate from this son of a bitch before we bring impeachment procedings against this guy? Someone as inept as he would be handed his pink slip from the neighborhood CAR WASH
He is on a perpetual vacation at our expense. It is time to put an end to him and the rest of his America hating administration. After RR buried Mr. Peanut in 1980, I never thought I would ever say we had a more inept president that Jimmah. At least Jimmah tried, he was just the wrong man for the job and surrounded himself with like qualified people. This guy could care less about our country and the welfare of our citizens and his every action confirms it.
He’ll never be impeached. He’ll either be re-elected, defeated in 2012 (in which case they’ll fight back) or be overthrown.
It's party time.
I think he fell for his own hype. That just his mere existence would bring about a more stable world, and a more “progressive” America.
Makes me miss Clinton. Reeeeaaaaallly miss Clinton.
would the Press Secretary please inform us???
where do Americans have to go to fill out an application?
what are the requirements?
are the jobs full or part time?
what is the starting salary?
come on Mr. Press Secretary there are several million folks ready to apply for these so called jobs???
damn...this is just more BS and lies from our leader folks..
The biased MEDIA needs to wake up and start reporting...like they did when GWB was President...
Time for the media to destroy B.Hussein. Obama. 2012 can't come quick enough.
