“You should ask French people about their future in late 30’s under Nazi occupation, without the USA intervention, they will be speaking German.”

FYI, the invasion of France was in 1940, not the late 30’s.

Also, without the Russions the Americans wouldn’t have won the 2nd WW (and the other way around), but that didn’t stop you from starting the Cold War, trashing lots of countries just because th gouvernment was on the other side of the wall….

Please, don’t act like the US is sacred, ok?

President Obama dancing salsa, good for him…..55 American soldiers die last month….mmmmmm, maybe ,just maybe, someone should be a little more focus in URGENT issues and not trivial things like Hispanics Heritage Month. I mean, I never forget Who I am and I don’t need reaffirmation, do you? . About your words “I grew up in Puerto Rico, so I’m not interested in US politics since I’ve come to learn to never trust any political figure”. It is offensive to be living here and not be interested in our future. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, the country that has been asked more than once to come and rescue the World from Tyranny and Oppression, What the heck are you doing here? just dancing ?. About “the future is in our hands” You should ask French people about their future in late 30’s under Nazi occupation, without the USA intervention, they will be speaking German. Keep dancing Anthony at least in San Francisco you have nothing to be worried.

Sally if you earnestly believe you can do a better job than Obama your comments would be fair – I’d love to see you try in a country that in all fairness has been f-ed over by previous leaders, and will take YEARS of many reforms to get back on its feet again.

No human on this planet could quickly fix the damage that has been done to the US and it’s reputation from those overseas. It will take time.

Now just look at the vid for what it is and please don’t think you’re sounding intelligent by “reading between the lines”. It’s just a vid showing how good it is that your leader also has a human side and a colourful (yes that’s how it’s correctly spelt) side and thank God he’s not a bastard. Oh and if he’s wife was truly upset by him having a dance with the singer (which I truly doubt) then she has issues.

Geez I don’t know about the Americans’ perception of Obama but from here in Australia it looks like he’s doing a fantastic job – far better than what GW Bush ever did! Just because you don’t see the results in your country immediately doesn’t mean he’s not working hard in the background – it’ll take many years to undo the damage that GWB did. People need to get some perspective and realise that Obama is not God, but he’s certainly working hard to make positive change. Maybe it’s not obvious within the US but it’s certainly obvious from the viewpoint of other countries.

Nothing wrong with showing that he’s also a human being. Whoa what a concept! A president being fallible like any other human being. IMHO he’s the best thing that came out of the US since democracy itself. What Anthony was simply doing was showing that the President is a Worldy person which is EXACTLY what the US needs, and not some right-wing fascist buffoon ala the previous number.

btw Anthony love your lessons!

“to describe a liar, mass murder and tourture supported [...] think like salsa and people should know more about their ‘kings/dictators’” –jovi.

Please remember, that just because we are salsa enthusiasts, it does not mean we are uninformed or uneducated about our government and current world news. A lot of us are educated professionals (doctors, engineers, teachers, business owners, lawyers, etc…). We just prefer not to discuss those types of opinions on the dance floor or on a salsa related blog (such as this one).

Mike S. posted a good list of other sites that might be a better avenue to voice the opinions you described above.
