When brazilians talk about politics, they always say things like : "There is not hope for this country", "Our president is not good enough" and many other things like that!
Is it true or we are too pessimistics to see what's real or not?
There is no obligation for anyone to like our president, but at least we should give him more chances for showing how far can he go. And according to article below from New York Times, it would not be a waste of time:
"As the popular two term president of Brazil Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva presided over a period of significant growth in the economy that has solidified the country as the center of gravity in Latin America and an increasingly important player in the world.
A former factory worker with a fifth grade education, Mr. da Silva - known as Lula inside Brazil - had a long political career as a leftist leader before his landslide election as President in 2002.
Despite some concerns about how he and his Workers' Party would govern, and despite a series of political scandals that threatened to derail his career, Mr. da Silva has demonstrated a light touch when it comes to economic stewardship and political diplomacy, avoiding the populist impulses of other leftist leaders ascendant through much of the region, including Venezuela and Bolivia.
Mr. da Silva fostered Brazil's growth through a centrist combination of respect for financial markets and targeted social programs, which have lifted millions out of poverty and narrowed the yawning income gap between rich and poor."

Cincinced? No? So, as you say just the other leaders, specially the american ones are the good ones, why don't you read a little bit of the international opinions about our president:
"President Barack Obama — wildly popular the world over — says he isn't the globe's most admired politician. He says that title belongs to Brazil's president.
During a lunch at the Group of 20 summit in London, Obama shook hands with President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and said: "This is my man, right here. I love this guy."
A bemused Silva — who does not speak English — appeared to enjoy the comments as they were relayed by an interpreter, grasping Obama's outstretched hand with both of his.
Obama followed the comment by saying Silva is "the most popular politician on Earth" and that it is because of "his good looks."
The comments were broadcast on Brazilian television and Internet sites in the original English with Portuguese subtitles."

Brazil still has many chances of growing up and stay in the same level as the big ones, the only thing to do is give honest people more chances of doing their best and giving our citizen proud of being Brazilians!
