"In Lapa, the fashionable centre of Rio de Janeiro nightlife, the partying was long and memorable. On Copacabana beach, the sand was packed with revellers. Pelé cried, and his compatriots celebrated the latest evidence that for one of the world's most glamorous, charismatic countries the good times are starting to roll. So often described as belonging to a "country of the future", Brazilians found themselves living in the present this weekend."
This is from the Guardian newspaper in England.
I'll love it, if Americans were as united behind President Obama, as Brazilians are behind this great black man.
Going back to Rio.
In the words of the President of the Country:
"We have left behind being a second-rate country to become a first-rate one. Respect is good and we are happy to receive it," he added."
