Blame It On Rio

Wow!
Runin' from that White House, Barry, time to head for paradise
Air Force One's a waitin', I suppose it's very nice
With a lurch to the left, flip the bird to the right
Catch that plane to avoid the test
You know you're somethin' special and they say you dress the best

His name is Barry and his head's stuck beneath the sand
Just like an ostrich, Barry. You haven't got a plan
And when crisis looms you're always on the lam
Oh Barry, Barry, play golf (because you can) 

I think one of the most important things a man can do, even when it pains him, is to stand up and recognize someone with whom he has profound disagreements and admit when they were right.  Alright, I'm saying it.  Hillary Clinton was correct.  It's 3 AM.  There's a phone ringing in the white house.  And Historic Leader's off to Rio!!

That's right.  With an unprecedented crisis in Japan (only one of our biggest allies and trading partners), no budget at home, and the middle east sliding into a region wide civil war Historic Leader has seen fit to take the family down to Rio for his first State Visit to Brazil.  Now, I could let this slide if there was some urgent reason for going.  Like dealing with any of the three crisis mentioned above, for instance.  But, no, Barry is going all the way to Brazil to...wait for it...wait for it...give a speech in Rio's famed Cinelandia Square. (*Spoiler Alert* The speech will be about Barak Obama).

The Obamas will also visit the Christ the Redeemer statue atop Mt. Corcodavo.  No word if he plans to have the monument updated in his likeness.
