Forbes, Kenneth Rapoza:
"President Barack Obama will take his first official trip to Brazil this weekend where he will speak in the popular Cinelandia Square in downtown Rio de Janeiro. Access, of course, will be tightly restricted and security measures so secretive that not even the Embassy or US Consulate in Rio know exactly who it’s all going to go down. Obama’s speech will be free and open to the public and take place around 15:00 local time (14:00 EST). Access to the square will begin at 11:30, and is sure to draw a crowd. Obama is popular in Brazil. One politician seeking office in Rio actually changed his name to Barack Obama in 2008 to solicit votes. He didn’t win".
A couple of things caught my eye while perusing this article. First, the communist-in-chief is off on another jaunt; his first to Brazil. The beaches are supposed fabulous. The sand on the beaches is supposed to be spectacular, too, if you know what I mean. Secondly, Obama is considered to be extremely popular in Brazil. If that's the case and some "yahoo" changes his name to 'Barack Obama' for an election but is defeated isn't this an enigma? Why not change your name to "Road Apples"? It's the same thing.
