1. Live streaming is working and opening ceremony has started n/t

[rabs]

2. Coming in clear for me too

Cristina is up first. Talking about the Malvinas.

Thanks for the link.

Sure beat Fox and CNN !!!!

[rabs]

3. Wow, Cristina brings up Cuba

Listening in Spanish but English translation is sort of overriding her. Annoying.

[magbana]

5. And, now Ortega is giving an important history lesson! Viva Sandino! n/t

[rabs]

6. Ortega brings up Cuba

"not comfortable, I feel ashamed" that Cuba is not present ..

Two out of two speakers bring up Cuba.

The other missing is Puerto Rico

[FrenchieCat]

4. Thanks!

[EFerrari]

7. Please, who is talking now? I only get audio?

Is this Raul Castro. :hi:

[rabs]

8. Ortega still talking ... amazing show so far n/t

[EFerrari]

11. Thank you, rabs. I have to find a video stream somewhere.

The audio is awesome, though. :)

[magbana]

9. DANIEL ORTEGA!!!

[EFerrari]

10. Ha! Thank you!

:woohoo:

[EFerrari]

12. Oh, and FUCK YOU, RONALD REAGAN, you butcher!

:rofl:

[Bacchus39]

15. Raul isn't there. you don't pay attention n/t

s

[magbana]

13. Cripes! Obama is sitting next to Canadian PM Harper and they are

gabbing and laughing. They really need to separate these two guys. ha!

[rabs]

14. Belize PM: Lift the embargo Three out of three N/T

[Bacchus39]

16. Obama: Its not jjust the US that needs to change

I didn't come here to debate the past.

[EFerrari]

17. I can't get video at that link. Does anyone have another one?

[magbana]

19. Go to Telesur - I just checked they are live streaming

http://www.telesurtv.net/noticias/canal/senalenvivo.php

[EFerrari]

21. THANK YOU!

[magbana]

18. Stupid Obama!

"."between right wing paramilitary and left wing insurgents." He has heads of state at the meeting with him who got where they are by being left wing insurgents.

Also, gringos do such a bad job at Latin American meetings. they dive in too quickly with the economic/micro finance/IDB/illegal drugs/security/firearms crap. With Latin Americans you need to weave your fabric for a while before you start slamming.

And finally "put the past behind you," Latin America. Well, I guess Obama wants that since we did so much crap TO Latin America. before the night is over Obama will wish he was back in Chicago.

[EFerrari]

20. It's more his culture than stupidity, magbana.

He's not a stupid man but he does carry his culture with him everywhere.

(It's funny because I figured out I was truly bi-cultural when I cringe equally during missteps by US speakers and by LA leaders. lol)

[magbana]

23. Of course it is his culture, but I will maintain my "stupid" claim because

when you are the prez of the US you have people around that should be helping with the style/tone thing especially at such an important meeting. Now if you throw an American on vacation in T and T at the podium I expect him to project his culture to the max.

[EFerrari]

24. The problem is, all those people are Americans, too.

I'm not apologizing, just saying.

"Caesar never did wrong but with just cause." -- William Shakespeare with his tongue firmly planted in is cheek

[magbana]

28. Yes, they are all Americans. I guess I should have used

US tourist to talk about someone from US. Gotcha.

[Bacchus39]

26. there was nothing wrong with Obama's presentation. you're the moron

by the way its not just Spanish speaking leaders there. at least half are from the Caribbean states. no need for Obama to ramble aimlessly like Castro, Chavez, or Morales.


Great job Obama.

[Bacchus39]

22. on the contrary, he was mercifully brief and to the point

Cristina was probably most grateful, during Ortega's speech she looked bored to death.

Looks like its not going your way. I'd suggest a new forum for you magbana.

[rabs]

25. Maybe I missed it but did Obama mention Cuba? n/t

[Bacchus39]

27. yep, he referred directly to Cuba. reiterated his policy changes

and said he was behind democracy in Cuba. He said its not just the US that needs to change.

[EFerrari]

29. Here's a thread in LBN:

30. Looks as if they're getting ready to broadcast soon.

EFerrari, I've seen Tony Saca hovering around Obama a couple of times. How creepy! I thought he was GONE already. It's not good seeing his little round face where one would expect to see a sensible one, instead!
