“I Love This Guy”

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, March 27, 2009:

This is a crisis that was caused by white people with blue eyes. And before the crisis, they looked as if they knew everything about economics.

Associate Press, April 2, 2009:

During a lunch at the Group of 20 summit in London, Obama shook hands with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said: “This is my man, right here. I love this guy.”

Anybody that’s familiar with his book with the subtitle “a story about inheritence and race” is not surprised by this. We knew this was coming.

I read the earlier comments by da Silva and his reference to “white skinned people”. Then I watched as Obama “bowed” to the Saudi ruler. Now, this adulation and praise of da Silva by Obama.

Does anyone seriously believe for one moment this man is loyal to this country at all? I gave him the benefit of the doubt on many occasions but no more.

He proves over and over again just how much he dislikes this country and he is trying to remake it in his image of what he wants it to be.

To think the voters of this country were so badly fooled is both frightening and sad. Lemmings will follow anyone and won’t realize what they have done until they are over the cliff and on their way to their death on the rocks below.

Congratulations America! You finally got what you deserved.

What you would you expect from one racist to another?
They both hate whites and they are both Marxists.
I must admit, I never thought that I would live to see the day when our president is bashing his country and its citizens in a foreign land. Obambi seems to have no problem doing this several times a day while on this trip.

I wish I could say I am surprised, but Obama has been proving his lack of allegiance to this country for a long time.

BHO probably hadn’t heard the comments from da Silva, as they were made late last week. He was too busy getting ready for G-20 and loading songs into the iPod for the Queen.

April 3, 2009 Paul A'Barge writes:

“my man”? “love this guy”?

You know, I thought Obama’s ghetto swagger as he walks up to the podium at news conferences was over the top “bruddah”-tude. But “my man”?

Is it Obama’s intention to wag the ghetto in our faces?

Well, I guess odumbo is now part of the the “white people with blues eyes” problem…seeing how he now takes his orders from the Bilderberg group and the Trilateral commission. But of course you will never hear or see any of this in the media!! Those are the very people that got him into office, and the same ones who are pulling his strings. He better be careful who he cozies up with, or he may end up like JFK!

Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva,
Defamation is against the law! Every human race on earth is a part of this crisis, Mr. Arrogance.

All those who refused to comply with the rules, all those who failed to abide by the law, all those who demand to be made exception to, as if their not as human!

One thing I’ll tell you about the blue eyed white people I know, they would all love every human on earth to be free.
You must be involved with the AMERICAN TAX PAID, UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT’S, PATHETIC PEOPLES PROGRAM!

April 5, 2009 João, Brasilia writes:

Besides his stupid comments, President Lula is not a racist as many said in this page. By the way, he is white and is married to a woman who has green eyes - not blue though. President Obama’s comments were nice, very friendly and were very well received in Brazil - a impostant country in the international arena. What Obama did was a gesture that can be translated as “let’s improve the relations betwen the US and Latin America. It is not true that he doesn’t like his country or so forth, he was just doing politics and diplomacy when shaking hands with his Brazilian counterpart.

April 6, 2009 Just How Racist is President Obama? writes:

[...] I would say that’s 100% racism. I’m a white person with blue eyes and I certainly didn’t bring the world’s economy down. Apparently though, Mr. Obama agrees with the racist. Here’s what Obama said about the Brazilian President one week later: During a lunch at the Group of 20 summit in London, Obama shook hands with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said: “This is my man, right here. I love this guy.” [...]

It amazes me how the right wingers who give a flying f*%k about racial justice and who vociferously supported the incompetent and immoral administration that brought the world to the brink of economic collapse get all in a tither about such obviously trivial nonsense.

April 8, 2009 Vargas writes:

Very funny to see all these right wing guys fuming at the mouth when someone speaks the truth.

Finally someone spoke the truth about the one guys that exterminated entire cultures and species all over the world and brought only ruin to whatever they touched.

Brazil have been, for a long time one of the closest country to the US in Latin America ( of course not a servent, this might be clear!). And Lula, a leftist presidente, had close ties with Bust ( When together they acted like two old cowboys friends indeed) and now, the same thing with Obama. Do not missunderstand what Lula said about blue eyes and white skins! We all know what he intended to mean! And he is right. Those powerful white and blue eyes’ men on Wall Street and in the City are really guilty for what is happening not only in the US but all over the world!
