[mfer]

And perhaps if Obama would visit Rio as he suggested it would improve relations w/ our countries & in turn improve education in Brazilian courts on The Hague.

He was just kidding! Inside he was probably thinking: I wish I was the one of the most influential people of the world, and a president who is really heard everywhere! Which politician would not want to be the US president?

I don't follow why you bring this up?  Are you here to support David?

That is how I read Lula's position.  Just joking.:yeahthat:

[MCD]

Since you still have not answered my question of whether or not you are a DAVID supporter, I am going to assume that you are not. It is obvious to myself and everyone here that you are trying to stir the pot. Please leave sir.

He is still logged on. Would it make a difference if you cut him out? I always knew he was a plant by his remarks in Portuguese. He is Wagner II. If you cut him, another JLPS supporter will come with another nick! What can we do? Erase their messages as they come up?

That's exactly what they should do.

Now globo.com is not showing the entire video. Thatīs was a weird speech...
I couldnīt hear in English cause there was a reporter translating.
Did Obama really said "I love Rio beaches"? or he said " Iīd love to go there" ?

[Kathleen]

That's exactly what they should do.

Yes, and just ignore the comments in the mean time..

Here's the report from Reuters.com.  

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A fight for custody of an 8-year-old boy whose American father says was abducted by his Brazilian mother will be left to Brazil's courts, Brazilian President Luis Inacio Lula de Silva said Saturday.

"The problem of the child is in the (Brazilian) federal justice system," he told a Portuguese-language news conference at the Brazilian Embassy, despite pressure from Washington for Brazil's government to intervene in the dispute.

"We expect the justice system to do what the justice system should do ... and the Brazilian government will respect it."

New Jersey resident David Goldman has been fighting for custody of his son Sean since his then-wife took the boy on vacation to her native Brazil in 2004, then divorced him and stayed there in what Goldman says was a case of international child abduction.

Goldman's ex-wife, Bruna Bianchi, died in childbirth last year. Her second husband, Joao Paulo Lins e Silva, is continuing the fight to keep Sean with his family in Brazil, in a case that has blown up into an irritant in relations between Washington and Latin America's most powerful nation.

Local courts in Brazil have declined to Grant Goldman custody, despite Brazil and the United States being signatories to an international treaty aimed a curbing cases of child abduction by parents.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Brazil's government last week to push for the boy's return to Goldman and lawyers for the Brazilian family have said the U.S. ambassador pressed Brazil's government to get involved in the case.

Lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives also overwhelmingly passed a resolution this week calling on Brazil's government to return Sean.

When asked by a reporter whether President Barack Obama had raised the issue during a meeting between the two leaders on Saturday, Lula said only that Obama "had reiterated the U.S. position" on the dispute.

Brazil is Latin America's biggest economy and an important regional trade and strategic partner for the United States.
