How is this man allowed to be president of any country?

I am not sure if this made the news in the USA, to be honest I really hope it didn't. It is sad to think that Lula Ignacio da Silva (president of Brazil) is capable to still surprise me. He is a terrible president, do not be fooled by what CNN says, or Fox for that matter. This man is crazy. He has middle school education, barely knows how to read and write, he was a union worker that retired at age 30 something due to disability (he lost his pinky finger in a work-related accident, and has alleged that he is unable to work ever since). He entered politics, into the PT party. Which stands for Partido trabalhador -the Working Party. Their symbol is a white star with a red backdrop, much like comunism. His party and himself have very communistic like ideas. He has a huge ego because he backs this whole switching to sugar cane alcohol as fuel for a "green world". But he is full of it, he is doing it for the money of course. He is ignorant and just a terrible man. He supports Chavez, and he stood against the US throughout the fight against terrorism in the world. I can just go on and on about how corrupt he is as well. But today I am focusing on the recent ridiculous words that came out of his mouth. In a meeting with a British Prime minister they were discussing the financial crisis in the world. And when asked how he viewed the crisis he said - quoted! "the world crisis was not caused by blacks or indians, but by white people with blue eyes" - yes, you read it right. That is what he said, he continued by saying - do you people know any black banker? so I ask you... who caused this crisis.
Unbelivable.
So that is it, I caused the crisis... put me in jail. I am as white as anyone can be (specially lately without any sun) and yes, I do have blue eyes.
This man is insane, Racist doesn't begin to describe his ignorance.
He is always on the news saying something stupid, but this one was just ridiculous. What a shame... and he was elected president... Probably because voting here in Brazil is obligatory by the law, for everyone, no matter what... so buying votes here is a real thing.
It is hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel when your president is this man... Brazil is such an amazing country, so much potential, good people... if only the right government would take over.
