If you lie down with dogs, you will get up with fleas. Do what you do the best, play football and win the cup. And pls, don't let your president to play games anymore.

My family emigrated to America many years ago. In Brasil, there is a large perception amongst a major portion of the population that their president, inacio lula da silva, is an idiot par exellence. He is a puppet with delusions of grandeur who emulates Venezuela's puppet dictator hugo chavez, his mentor and role model. Hopefully, Brasileans with an I.Q. slightly above their dictator's (which isn't saying much, he's also considerd a very naive, BRAINLESS simpleton) or even greater - hopefull they will choose intelligence over popularism and select a REAL president for a change (something we desperately need here in the U.S. as well).

My opinion of Brazil has soured. Too bad because I had thought of investing in the Mato Groso area. Not much hope of that now that I have filed it with Turkey, Iran and other terrorist-loving states.

He is consider so "idiot" that he was re-elected and will elect his candidate - not because of the candidate, but due his own name... I'm pretty sure that you leaved the country many years ago, that's why you're so outdated!

As long as this actual party of Lula is in power,Brasil is not a good place for investment but a place to be very aware. That's my opinion too.
