13. "We are blindly driving an entire continent into the arms of China and Russia "

I agree. Countries all over LatAm are signing huge deals with China and Russia. I have nothing against the Chinese or the Russians but hot damn, we could be making those deals. We could be working with those countries and forming solid, lasting bonds based on mutual respect, for our mutual benefit. And Obama is doing the US no favors because what he proved to them is that it doesn't matter how friendly the face in the Oval Office, our system is the problem. For a while there, there was hope that finally something might change and that with a *better man* in the Presidency, Latin America and the US could start afresh. Instead it's been the same old, same old. I don't see us getting this chance again, not for a long time.
