Postcards Home from the Obama Family Weekend Getaway to Rio

Sadly for him, not all the Brazilians welcomed him. So much for restoring our repuation in the world!

After a busy week filled with golf, a fundraiser, St. Patrick's Day and the basketball brackets Obama and the family needed a getaway and well... Camp David isn't all that special for such a grand family. They needed a real treat! So, off to Rio de Janiero in Brazil for a little R&R from all those White House parties!

Never mind that Japan is suffering the worst natural disaster in it's history or that the U.S. launched an all out attack on Libya, it's PLAY TIME!

President Barack Obama (C) walks with First Lady Michelle Obama (R) and his daughter Sasha (L) and Malia (2nd R) as they tour Christ the Redeemer Statue in Rio de Janiero, Brazil, March 20, 2011.

Demonstrators protest against the visit of US President Barack Obama at Candelaria square in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on March 18, 2011.

Didn't Obama promise to restore our reputation in the world? These guys didn't get the message.

The protesters think Obama covets Brazil's oil? Maybe they think that because he is shutting down U.S. oil production we are going to come and steal it from them?

Most of the protesters were communists. So, I was surprised to see them protest so vehemently. After all, he's the best friend they have EVER had in the White House!
