President Obama Plays Soccer in Rio
President Obama takes time out from monitoring the Libya situation his NCAA brackets playing tourist in Brazil creating American jobs to kick around a few balls.
(AP) — President Barack Obama is playing tourist in Brazil, on the second day of a Latin American tour meant to bolster economic and cultural ties.
The president and his family took in sights of Rio de Janeiro’s vivid extremes today, traveling from brilliant beaches to a notorious slum.
They visited the City of God shantytown that gained fame after a movie by the same name won Oscar nominations. At a community center in the heart of the jostling slum of 40,000, Obama watched a martial arts display and played soccer with some children.
The president shed his coat and tie, rolled up his sleeves and dribbled one-on-one with one surprised boy. First lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Sasha and Malia got involved, too, kicking a ball around with the kids.
Then the president walked out into the streets and waved to throngs of residents who cheered him from rooftops and balconies.
Obama is also keeping in touch with his national security team as U.S. ships and warplanes take part in the international military intervention in Libya.

Let me guess – he kicked the ball on down the road.
I bet he is so jealous of those soccer balls when compared to the pair of Raisins he’s walking around with.
But the Wookie now she has some BOULDERS. ever wonder why she has the breasts of a 12 year old boy, “butt” the ass of a 15.000 pound elephant? need to store them somewhere .
I’ll bet he’s as good at suxxor as he is at bowling.
Oh and also I’m so glad everything in the world is moving along so smoothly that obama has no worries and can run and play with his new found friends.
finally someone he can beat in a game(or maybe not)
I truly despise this man..
I am torn between wishing obama would quit vacationing and pay some attention to world affairs, or wishing he will keep screwing off, so as to do less damage to the US.
Besides Hillary’s, probably the only balls he has handled lately.
I would love to Red Card him out of office.
MN Jim, You make a good point. Lets put him on a cruise ship till Jan 2013…
This is one of those rare times he gets to play with a ball since his are locked securely in Michelle’s purse.
Look at him, he’s like a kid out there !
How much did they have to pay the throngs to cheer for him?
The world burns while Zero diddles
Just another day in the Obama Administration.
No wonder he can’t figure out whose ass to kick!
I have no idea how this man breathes air, without feeling guilty…
He plays soccer in Rio and plays president when he’s home.
Revised already? The original said “grand tourist”
He’s busier than a one legged man in a butt kicking contest. Maybe he ought to go on vacation.
This guy has had more vacations in two years than most people get in twenty.
OT . . .heads up:
BBC World Service to sign funding deal with US state department Low six-figure investment will aim to help combat censorship of TV and internet services in countries including Iran and China
wtf?
ALL I CAN SAY IS, GOD HAVE MERCY ON US……(GUESS THEY’LL NEED A SUMMER VACATION TO.
10% unemployment, 30% in the inner city,
Food prices going though the roof,
Gas has doubled to $4/gallon,
Guantanamo is still open,
Soldiers are still in Iraq,
Soldiers are still in Afghanistan,
We’re now putting boys in peril bombing Libya,
….and His Highness is running down to Rio playing soccer with the kids????
How’s that Hope and Change going for ‘ya, Libtards?????
Dear God Almighty, does anybody in President Boob’s Administration understand the concept of being “Presidential”? He shouldn’t be there in the first place, and kicking soccor balls while the world is flamming is beyond comprehension. Does this Nincompoop understand we have several “Crisises” going on at the same time? I really don’t know what is worse….President Numbnuts or the idiots that advise the Boob In Chief.
Think we could get a Rio team to pick him up for their roster?
Even ZIP seems to be obsessed over the POTUS’s vacation…..in the meantime, the Pentagon is announcing that we are, in fact, in a FULL SCALE WAR with Libya.
Just in case you missed that inconvenient fact.
We spent 124 Tomohawk missiles to establish a “no-fly zone”over the country, and used B-2 Stealth Bombers to attack Libyan forces on the ground. What attacking ground forces has to do with a “no-fly zone” is beyond me.
CONGRESS SHOULD BE SCREAMING BLOODY FUCKING MURDER, AS NONE OF THIS HAS THEIR CONSTITUTIONALLY-REQUIRED AUTHORIZATION!
WAKE UP YOU IDIOTS!
THE MUZZIE IN THE WHITE HOUSE IS SPENDING YOUR TAX MONEY TO INSTITUTE THE PISSLAMIC CALIPHATE IN LIBYA!!!!!!!!
Ssssshhhhh.
What congress
Amazing how poverty and misery happens everywhere commies alight. These slums are a preview of whats to come if we don’t dislodge this regime.
Campaign in full mode,photo op…God help us all if this pathetic pos gets re-lected!

As long as we get the Senate back to take the bullets out of Barry Fife’s gun.
If only he could play “president” as well as he plays soccer!
I’m surprised he’s not wearing protective headgear. Every time he leaves the bus/car, he’s supposed to wear his helmet…and I notice he’s got on his namesake “loafers”, which is good because he has trouble with laces (they get stuck in the chain when he rides his bike)
Watch when he kicks the ball in the air…the people in the background cheer and clap like he’s some mentally challenged child who just zippered his coat for the first time.
“Yaaaa! That was a good job Barry!”
Quick what has hit more balls than Barry Bonds: Obama’s chin!
This worthless marxist asshole sends our brave military personnel into combat while vactioning in Rio under the masquerade of “improving relations”. An obscenity of a president! An utter travesty! A gutless wonder without equal!
By the way after all that spicy brazilian food anyone who flies home on the same plane as the Bloated Bottom First Entitlement Queen Mooshelle is risking an on-board methane explosion on the airplane.
And these two grifters have already planned another vacation next month in Ireland.
God Help the Irish!
This guy has had more vacations in two years than most people get in twenty.

Well yeah, gotta make sure the girls see the entire world while it’s on our nickel.
MSM proclaims that Obama could have been a Pele had he only chosen to play soccer instead of become president.
Brazil a model for troubled Middle East, says Obama

Obama clearly has a case of ‘ball envy’. It’s because he has none of his own.
Allen West has something to say….
This man just rocks my world! He is just so AMAZINGLY AWESOME. President West, President LTC Allen West has such a beautiful ring to it.

@Sparky, I agree his handlers suck.
“An estimated 1 out of every 4 foreign tourists coming to Rio are supposedly gay or lesbian.”
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. I think you get the drift…

I think just about anyone would want to kick around a few balls, if he had any!
That was the wimpiest kicking I ever saw. You just know those little kids could really paste him one, if they wanted to.
Why shouldn’t he kick soccer balls.
He’s been kicking us in the balls for the past two years.
you just know this guy was always picked last for a team in gym class!

At least he’s figured out whose balls to kick…
