She is the one person that stands in the breach to protect the Amazon. Other than a President that understands the climate crisis and values her precious Amazon, she is simply a great woman and President for Brazil. I gave a great news conference and it was good to see her again.
She stands to be painted by history as the leader that brought the Middle Class to prominence for Brazil. It is a rightful place for her people. Brazilians are hard working and have ambitions that support a strong and motivated Middle Class. I was more than pleased to hear her recognize the income and wealth inequality of the people in her country. She joins a growing list of leaders to recognize the inequality their citizens face.
President Rousseff has been a strong and benevolent leader taking position in the G20. She is good for Brazil and any country they call allies. This relationship with the USA is enhanced by a new recognition of Cuba and the importance of raising a non-violent paradigm for South and Central America. The childrens arrival at the southern border of the USA clearly illustrated how our neighbors dearly need domestic peace, way from gun wheeling drug cartels. Brazil has been successful in taking back neighborhoods and I would expect more of the same with President Rousseff's ambition for her people.
Brazil, Latin America’s largest economy, (click here) has seen some important
security advances in recent years, taking dozens of communities in Rio
de Janeiro from criminal gangs through its innovative UPP security
program. However, it faces a serious threat from its two largest
domestic criminal gangs, the First Capital Command (Primeiro Comando
Capital - PCC) and Red Command (Comando Vermelho), who are becoming
increasingly involved in the international drug trade, as well as
operating extortion and kidnapping
rings at home. Militia groups composed mostly of police are another
source of violent crime, extorting entire neighborhoods and carrying out
extrajudicial killings. The country is becoming increasingly important
as a market and transit point for cocaine.
I hope the CIA can be a benevolent partner in Brazil to President Rousseff to assist in understanding the way to deal with violence and corruption. I would encourage her and President Obama to enhance their national security with the upcoming Olympics in 2016.
With 100% of the vote counted, Workers' Party (PT) candidate Dilma
Rousseff will become Brazil's first female president, winning the
run-off election by a margin of 56.1%-43.9% over PSDB rival José Serra.
She pledges to continue the policies of her predecessor, Luis Inácio
Lula da Silva, and has set the principal goal of her presidency to be
the eradication of poverty in Brazil.

Barack Obama and Dilma Rousseff (click here) put climate change at the top of their agenda at their bilateral meeting on Tuesday, with the US and Brazil agreeing to get up to 20% of their electricity from renewable power by 2030.
Brazil also committed to restore up to 12m hectares of forest – an area about the size of England or Pennsylvania – in another attempt to reduce the carbon pollution that causes climate change.
The White House said the initiatives were part of a new US-Brazil climate partnership, loosely modelled on the historic US-China agreement reached during Obama’s visit to Beijing last November, which are intended to build momentum for a global deal to fight climate change in Paris at the end of the year....
