    Absolutely, look how radiant she looks in comparison to that repulsive, wrinkled, old crone in BA. Smart as well, see how well Brazil is doing in comparison to Argentina.

    Like all AAA's you make it up as you go along and then start to believe your own shit. Listen the Brazilian President has very fine, almost European features. Turkey Neck has a face that looks like its done ten rounds with Mike Tyson. If you can't see that then you must be blind and producing the most hideous offspring imaginable.

    I'm personally not sure I could get it from a state of flacidity with turkey neck meat flapping me in the face and that ghoulish face staring down at me. Then I'd have to have that nauseating 'it's not you, it's me' conversation.

    Just in case anyone wondered.

    No, there is considered reticence by the Obama administration.

    Nobody takes the US to world courts and wins - like Brasil did with the huge US illegal trade import restrictions over cotton, oranges, etc.

    There is a measure of vindictive punishment here, that the US thinks it can get away with in its 'look east' and - very recent - 'look west' orientation.
    Immensely stupid of the US to keep its 'look south' policy on the back-burner. China WILL take over the continent and will oust the US
    .... and will present a US security threat to the two continents.
    Surely there are still memories of the Cuban missile crisis alive and well in the White House.
    Keep the South sweet and you keep the Americas sweet.

    Why are we so fixated on the looks of this woman who, by all accounts and demonstrable practice, can run rings around the Mad Bitch. :o)

    But seriously, the USA are missing a trick here. It is clear that Brasil is the driving force in LatAm and a large part of this is due to Dilma.

    Snubbing them as the USA is doing is going to damage Obarmy further in the polls this Autumn: there are a lot of Spanish speaking registered voters in the US.

    1 Be serious. For the first time in my life and I can’t believe I am going to say this but I agree with Helber Galarga, she wasn't even a pretty baby, the midwife smacked the wrong end when she was born she was that ugly. But I have to agree compared to old turkey neck who when born the midwife just held her at arm’s length and whispered WTF is this when it’s at home, she is a natural beauty won’t win any beauty contests but on a cold dark night after a few pints and wearing shades and wearing a crucifix to ward of the devil I can see that she just might be do-able.

    “Look towards all the drugs, corruption and puppet democracies?”

    that sounds like the US, where I live and witness how people are being dumb down by the corporate media. Stefan, stop playing farmville.

    Anyway, who doesn't suck up to O'bongo and his gang (the banksters who met with Cameron in the whitehouse..so called state visit) won't get any state visit. Why bother to have dinner with an empty jack and puppet named Barack husein Obama.

    Cristina Fernández de Kirchner the current disaster president of Argentina
    and the other Argentina crooks are her vice-president, Amado Boudou, he is actually an owner of the company that prints money for the government in Argentina, a major conflict of interest, but he denies it, he owns the company in the names of other friends and associates. He is being investigated and surely will end up in jail where he belongs. Cristinas 2 VERY UGLY children, Maximo and Florencia Kirchner, are also very corrupt. Maximo owns all kinds of hotels and properties adn Florencia is a film student in New York and lives in a luxury Park Avenue apartment and is known for major cocaine use. Some of us who know her in New York remember how she always used to tell us how her parents have a bank account drawn on the Nation of Argentina and for her family money is no object. These 2 corrupt children of Cristina Kirchner are self proclaimed “militants”, they belong to 2 internal terrorist groups which Cristina Kirchner finances, “La Cámpora” and “Quebracho”. “La Cámpora” goes around to the poor shantytowns around the cities in Argentina and gives the poor people a bag of groceries, a sausage sandwich called “choripan” and $20 pesos to buy their votes. These people have no choice but to accept this as they are extremely poor and have no other hope. “Quebracho” is a terrorist group which Cristina Kirchner pays to protect her, they disguise their faces and go around shaking down businesses to get money and give back to the president. They are also responsible for drug dealing, robberies and murders.

    Poor Stefan, you're embarrassing yourself in front of the computer, but I understand that you enjoy it since you're frustrated high school drop out living in your mom's basement. Face what? Facing imbeciles as you who didn't finish school is sad since they make the US the laughing stock of the world. Second, I'm not from South America, would not mind to be from there, since it's an awesome area, and an area you cannot afford to visit and never will. Third, go back to your government school you dumb f##k, grab a real geography book and read it so you can find out that South America is a SUB-Continent of America. Final, concentrate on your own nation that's slowly being transformed into a shit hole by a bunch of corrupted clowns that call them self politicans and bankers. If I witness that, so can you, but since you're a twat with no education, I doubt you can see that.

    I seem to remember the 'terrorist cell' that Dilma Rousseff ran in the early days was accused of killing a US officer for the crime of being part of the nation that took war to Vietnam. This was not a crime of attacking the Brasilian military government of the era, but it was part of the international terrorist activity that happened across the world at that time.

    I think that the reason Rousseff has not received a state-welcome is because, if this came out - and it would - Obama would be 'dead in the water' in seeking a Democrat second term.

    The fact is that Rousseff is now doing a damned good job of 'governing the ungovernable',
    and her past is a well hidden 'cross that she has to bear' - but although well hidden from the man in the street, governments and intelligence services have good archives and long memories.

    Being a 'freedom fighter' is one thing. Helping to murder an American Officer in front of his wife and child is crossing the line as far as I am concerned.

    There is one photo doing the rounds of Rousseff in military drabs smoking a massive cigar which, when you compare it to the photo above, does make me wonder what sort of a change she has undergone.
