Blog Guy, I see that President Barack Obama went to a Summit of the Americas. Those guys all seem so serious all the time. Do they ever relax?
That’s ALL they do! Obama will have to tap into his inner child. Check out Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez and Brazil’s President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, playing “I’ve got your nose” and “Peek-a-Boo.”
I had no idea! Do they do that stuff the whole time at these summits?
No. The meetings only begin with those two games. At the afternoon sessions, they move on to Pat-a-Cake,” “Button, Button, Who’s got the Button?” and ”Marco Polo.”"
Amazing. So how will we know whether Obama was sucessful at the summit? Should we watch for some oil concessions from Chavez, or immigration cooperation from Mexico, or….
You really need to lower your expectations, Ace. Just watch and see if Obama returns with his nose intact.

You’ve got it wrong again! Chavez is complaining about this awful cold and sinusitis, and Lula is wiping/blowing his nose -as responsible adults do with all small kids. The thing is, after this Lula shook Obama’s hand in greeting… Talk about international incidents!!
