Singing the praises of Brazil
Joshua Keating at Foreign Policy's Passport blog was "not surprised by conservative Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer's negative comments about President Obama in an interview with Der Spiegel, but what's his problem with Brazil?" Krauthammer had said that "Obama is the Brazil of today's politicians. He has obviously achieved nothing." This was to much for Keating, who then listed Brazil's many considerable achievements of late.
Something else that's impressive about Brazil is its national anthem. It's pure opera. And we'll be hearing a lot next summer in South Africa. Terra adorada, indeed.
