Obama in Rio
Here is a picture, from the official White House page, showing Obama going through the Rio favela called Cidade de Deus (City of God). This slum was made famous because of a ultra-violent movie of the same name.
In yesterday's speech to the Brazilian people, I was heartened to hear Obama end with a Portuguese phrase (muito obrigado--thank you very much) instead of something in Spanish. Unfortunately, someone still needs to inform his White House staff of the difference between Portuguese and Spanish. The official caption under the above picture calls the favela "Ciudad de Deus". Ai, caramba!
