"Latin America's memories"
Op-ed in liberal Folha de S. Paulo (4-24) by the head of Brazil's
Senate and former President Jose Sarney states: "Only Brazil and the
U.S. saved themselves in Trinidad Tobago.....President Lula, more
than trying to calm down dinosaurs, was saving the hemisphere's
image....[while President Barack Obama] showed with the color of his
skin that not only the U.S. has changed but also the world.....Obama
brought a new message, an invitation to solidarity and a joint view
of work and cooperation.....Lula has increased Brazil's
international level. Our position in Trinidad Tobago showed a mature
and modern Brazil, able to negotiate with the U.S. at the same level
as Obama. Everything else was excessive fluff"
