Obama looks annoyed as Brazilian President lectures him about US monetary policy

Obama looks annoyed as Brazilian President lectures him about US monetary policy. She looks pissed because, as she says, US monetary expansion leads to depreciation in the value of emerging countries, like hers. He looks pissed because (a) he doesn’t want to hear it (b) he hates listening to anyone that’s not him (c) all of the above. Watch him writhe – he does almost everything but give her the finger on the sly (like he did to Hillary.)

  • Brazil got to be where it is at under it's own power. No help from the U.S. that's for sure.

    Plus no matter what Obama thinks of her from the intel reports he did get about her, Obama still has to deal with A President of a Latin American Country that is making it through the FREE ENTERPRISE System, and not Obama/Chavez Brand type of economics.

  • He's obviously having a rough time containing his anger. I love how she refuses to look at him, talks as if he wasn't even there. She looks to be lecturing the interpreter, who most likely is quite a few steps above Obama in intelligence, and understands economics better.

    • Yes Flash, I noticed that. She is so disgusted with him that she can't bring herself to look at him. He is acting like a child being scolded, fidgeting nervously, knowing he's caught doing something wrong.
      The most telling thing is that you can tell which is the "man" in the video by how their legs are crossed. He sits like a woman, or a de-balled eunich.

  • Barack Obama is a spoiled brat who cannot tolerate criticism. He had the same sullen look on his face when Paul Ryan spoke with him about the federal budget. Too, he's an economic illiterate and doesn't like to be reminded of it. Finally, how dare a woman lecture him! Why isn't she in a burka?

  • Maybe it is the simple fact that she is a woman and as a woman she is not worthy of his estimation and as a woman she shouldn't be lecturing a man... Obama doesn't care about anyone and he is a legend in his own mind.

  • Economics? Obutthead don't need to study no economics, he got hisself a law degree...he don't need to know nutin' about no damn economics, just write another check Moochelle, and get me a pack of ho-ho's and some cigarettes while you is at da store...

  • It's C: "all the above" and he sure does look clueless. He certainly cannot grasp the concepts that she is highlighting. There goes our "we'll be your best customer" discount.
