IT is really nice to see President Obama having fun with the kids...Plus, it is clear Obama has played soccer before he has some skillz!

1. That proves it! He's a foreigner!

I love that he did this. Kids in these countries will remember someday that the president of the USA played soccer with them. That's important, even if Obama will no longer be preseident at the time, because he hopefully will bring a better time to them and their people....

4. I have learned the following

Obama : Basketball - he has skillz. Soccer - pretty good. Baseball and Bowling, not so much.

13. Unfortunately, the US government hasn't brought a better anything

to kids in Latin America in living memory. This history is consistently one of nice words and ruthless exploitation.

[CTyankee]

22. Of course, you are right. Our past exploitation of Latin America is a disgrace.

But I am hopeful that the arc will bend toward justice.

23. It's not history, as Faulkner said.

Just since Obama came in, there have been US back coup attempts in Bolivia and Ecuador and of course the successful one in Honduras.

I'm afraid State and the Pentagon keep learning the wrong thing about their activities there.

21. You are very welcome...Too bad others on DU...

Can't help but find something negative to say about simply playing soccer with poor kids in Brazil! WTF?

3. I'm not sure he ever touched a soccer ball before --- looks like he had some hacky-sac experience.

;)

18. From someone who has played soccer for most of my life...

It does appear Obama has had some time with a soccer ball...He has that touch that comes from playing with a soccer ball which is much different than a hacky-sac.

Plus, both his daughters play soccer.

5. Not bad!

His AYSO daughters must have taught him those moves!

6. He could use some more practice at kicking ass.

He is a hopeless failure at the 3d chess thing when corporate money cheated.

[SkyDaddy7]

20. The Reich Wing is not the only group who seems...

to view this in a negative light! Just look at the ridiculous comments on this video here on DU! I swear folks around here will complain regardless of what Obama does or does not do!
