This indicates something far more important is going on. That's a good point. I think you put your finger on something that has been bothering me about this. It's as if he doesn't care how he deals with or offends these foreign leaders because it's not going to be important in the long run anyway. I wonder what he's up to?

I expect the Obambi team to present this guy with a bunch of bananas as a parting gift.

Quick, somebody send Brazil a 25 DVD set! I think they'd prefer those plastic models of Marine One... you know, the ones you get at the gift shops for 5 bucks a piece.

There is something very odd going on in the White House.
Obama seems to have little time for foreign leaders and the underlings handling the details are very sloppy.
This indicates something far more important is going on.

He is ignorant on foreign affairs and the economy and he really isn’t into either. He had one agenda and he’s not a multi tasker. He wants to implement his Marxist ideas and be a dictator in our country. That’s all he cares about. Liberal judges, getting control of the power, food, health care, etc. That’s what he was sent there to do and that’s all he and his manbeast wife care about.

In terms of sophistication, he flunks there too. Did you see how he holds a wine glass? What a vulgarian. His wife may be worse. She shows up in cocktail dresses for official meetings and calls black-tie events formal. (White-tie is formal, black-tie is semi-formal.) Grrr...they get me irritated.

Never thought I’d live to see an administration more incompetent than that of President UselesS Grant.

Obama, during his campaign, often said that Americans need to learn other languages. He emphasized that. Yet, now, the White House staff can't even get the correct spelling of the Brazilian President. Duh...you can find it on Google, you birdbrains!
This is an unacceptable error, as is Obama's whole policy on protocol and handling dignataries. Guess they never learned much of that in the hood!

This is not just a bumble.
The O-Marxist team is playing up Cuba and is purposely playing down Cuba's enemies.
Zero wants to re-make the world. He really does.

The most brilliant, all-knowing, smart, intelligent, bright geniuses in the world, ten steps higher in evolution than the rest of humankind, have made another mistake and put a visiting head of state in an awkward position? (Not to mention the American people.)
How could that be possible?
IMHO

All Cuba needs to do to drop the embargo is to pay Americans for the property seized when the Revolution nationalized it.
Thank you!

To: Spunky
Correct name: Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva The White House quickly corrected the mistake.
For a layman, Portugese is deceptively close to Spanish, where the name is spelled "Ignacio".
Brazilians get rightly very offended when Americans ignore the language difference. A hundred and fifty million Brazilians, the most populous and biggest Latin American state, can't be wrong.

Still, the White House made several moves interpreted as snubs by the Brazilian media.
Silva aides said the trip was pushed forward from Tuesday because of the St. Patrick's Day holiday -- making Latin America once again look like an afterthought. Yep. That St. Paddy's Day "holiday" is sure important. He's throwing over the Brazilian leader for a pint of green beer.

I wonder if they will let Joe Biden handle a future India state visit based on his knowledge of convenience stores, slurpees and Asian Americans.

If the Indian PM visits Washington, I’m sure that Biden will meet with him at the local Dunkin Donuts so that he will feel at home. /s
