Brazil President break down and cry in public after winning the vote to host Olympic

COPENHAGEN - HEADS of state don't often break down and cry in public - unless of course they are celebrating capturing the Olympic Games for your city and country and continent for the very first time.

Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva shed tears of joy after a tense day in Copenhagen on Friday ended with Rio de Janeiro pulling off a landslide win in the vote to host the 2016 Olympic Games.

Mr Lula, whose charisma and guidance was instrumental in Rio's stunning victory over Madrid, Tokyo and above all Chicago, described the occasion as 'the most emotional day of my life'. 'I'm 63 and have seen many thinigs in my life and thought I could never get emotional but suddenly I'm crying more than any other person here,' he said.

IOC president Jacques Rogge said it had been the extra dimension of giving the Games to South America for the first time that had swayed IOC members. Mr Lula acknowledged that point saying: 'If Chicago had won, it would have been the fifth time the United States had staged the Games, Spain the second time and Japan the second time - for us it is the first time.

'I have a message to my close friend, the Prime Minister of Spain Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero, to Barack Obama for whom I have high hopes, he's a great fellow, and to the Prime Minister of Japan who I don't know because it's like that in Japan - you say 'good morning to one Prime Minister and 'good afternoon' to a different one!'

'I say to them all I'm sorry that I am happy and you are sad but you all have been happy many times and we have been sad.' Mr Lula recounted something members of the bid team had said to him earlier on Friday. 'You have to understand we come from a country that was colonised and so we have a habit of thinking small with the feeling that we didn't matter.'

'So when Danish television had all these images of Obama arriving at Copenhagen airport this morning people said to me 'oh, he's arrived, we're going to lose'.

'Obama had told me at the G-8 summit that he wasn't going to come here but leave Michelle his wife to do it telling me she would do a far better job. I told him 'if you don't go to Copenhagen I'll win'. Then he turns up but God wished it that we still won!'

Mr Lula added that despite his joy he was a also little concerned. 'Why? Because the IOC has substantially increased our responsibility.'

'I'm not afraid of responsibility, I feel that every day human beings should wake up and face a new challenge.

'I won't be President anymore in 2016 so it's the Brazilian people who will have this responsibility, now it's up to the Brazilian state to get on with organising the Games.' -- AFP

Hmm, much of Spain smells like toilet including the capital, Tokyo is squeaky clean but expensive and plain where it offers little else but electronics and nerd otakus and manga, and Chicago is a cold windy uninteresting place dominated by rampant street crime and the Mafia since the capone days.

The serial drama was entitled "Little Missy". Many Sinkaporean eyes were glued to their tv sets when it was shown here.:biggrin::biggrin:

In a few years time, Brazil is going to be the sports centre of the world, hosting both the World Cup 2014 and the Olympic Games 2016.

And you can be sure that for the soccer event it'd be really big and colorful as it is the religion and sport of the Brazilian people.

Maybe even their best players in the national squad for the Olympics would have the same assembly as that for the World Cup, meaning they would participate too.

Viva la Brasil!

Oh and in today's context those Centrepoint Kids who just hang out there and look around in a daze in groups can be considered as dumb nerds. 80s has many different dumb kinds of Sporn fucks especially the young.

Singapore's World Records
On this small island lives the 30 best-paid politicians in the world, comments a blogger. MySingaporeNews.
Apr 3, 2009
As the economic crisis worsens and thousands are being retrenched, the huge salaries of Singapore's political leaders have come under the spotlight not only here - but overseas.
With G20 leaders gathering in London to work out solutions to the global crisis, the Times compiled a list of "the 10 best-paid politicians in the world" - naturally with Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong taking the top spot.
The story was picked up by The Australia, which also works out their salaries when ranked against population.
Mr Lee earns S$3.76 million (US$2.47 million) a year, excluding bonuses, allowances, pensions, etc which add on a significant bit.
This is about 54 cents per head of population. In second position was his counterpart from New Zealand at 9 cents. The rest of the world are all down there, below even the lowest-ranking minister in Singapore.
But Singaporean blogger redbean's "My Singapore News" carries a calculation from its reader, Green Peas, expanding on the UK and Australian reports.
It pointed out that the world's 30 best-paid politicians (a definition that will include ministers, elected president, etc) are all from Singapore.
Here's what the blogger says:
The TOP 30 highest paid politicians in the world are all from Singapore:
1. Elected President SR Nathan - S$3.9 million.
2. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong - S$3.8 million.
3. Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew - S$3.5 million.
4. Senior Minister Goh Chok Thong - S$3.5 million.
5. Senior Minister Prof Jayakumar - S$3.2 million.
6. DPM & Home Affairs Minister Wong Kan Seng - S$2.9 million.
7. DPM & Defence Minister Teo Chee Hean - $2.9 million
8. Foreign Affairs Minister George Yeo - S$2.8 million.
9. National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan - S$2.7 million.
10. PMO Miniser Lim Boon Heng - S$2.7 million.
11. Trade and Industry Minister Lim Hng Kiang - S$2.7 million.
12. PMO Minister Lim Swee Say - S$2.6 million.
13. Environment Minister & Muslim Affairs Minister Dr Yaccob Ibrahim - S$2.6 million.
14. Health Minister Khaw Boon Wan - S$2.6 million.
15. Finance Minister S Tharman - S$2.6 million.
16. Education Minister & 2nd Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen - S$2.6 million.
17. Community Development Youth and Sports Minister - Dr Vivian Balakrishnan - S$2.5 million.
18. Transport Minister & 2nd Minister for Foreign Affairs Raymond Lim Siang Kiat - S$2.5 million.
19. Law Minister & 2nd Minister for Home Affairs K Shanmugam - S$2.4 million.
20. Manpower Minister Gan Kim Yong - S$2.2 million.
21. PMO Minister Lim Hwee Hwa - S$2.2 million.
22. Acting ICA Minister - Lui Tuck Yew - S$2.0 million.
23 to 30 = Senior Ministers of State and Ministers of State - each getting between S$1.8 million to S$1.5 million.
Note: 1. The above pay does not include MP allowances, pensions and other sources of income such as Directorship, Chairmnship, Advisory, Consultancy, etc to Gov-linked and gov-related organisations or foreign MNCs such as Citigroup, etc.
2. Though it is based on an estimate, the data cannot be far off the official salary scales.

Can all of you please, stop posting or pasting this ugly pic here (to save or spare some nausea). Thanks.

This is supposed to be a Brazil and Rio De Janeiro Olympics thread. Nothing to do with that ugling.
