Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's resounding electoral victory with over 60 percent of the vote places Brazilian politics on a new footing. While many on the left remain critical of Lula for the limited reforms of his first term, his very victory has consolidated a shift in the country's possibilities for deeper social transformations.

I think its great the majority of people got who tehy want in office, unlike what happen in American elections. I just think of how only one person can control the sway of the country's direction wether good or bad. One person speaks for a country wether some citizens disagree. But thats part of the price of democracy. Cogragulations Lula

The election was simply the fleecing of those who produce jobs and wealth. Redistribute wealth until there is no more wealth to redistribute!

Brazilians really need to worry about Brazil and not the United States. Do you have any clue what would happen if Brasil was was unable to do any trade with the United States? Really, bash us all you want, you still need our money and trade. Unless you want to replace us with Chavez. That will improve your per capita income to what $500 per year. Contrary to what many people thought, Bush and Da Siva have had a cordial relationship, under Da Silva Brazil has not fallen into the ocean and he is a democratically elected leader. So lets see what he really can do. Congradulations, many countries are not able to vote for their leader, seriously it is a real privelege. But now what? This is Da Silva's real test, no Presidents first term is entirely his, the previous administration had some impact on the first couple years. But now, it is all Da Silva's, and he had better produce for those who put him in office. So lets see. So maybe you all should spend less time bashing the USA and take care of your own affairs. I love Brasil, so I wish you all the best.

"Quero um pais decente, Lula presidente."
Que frase linda neh gente!!!! Acho que numca li uma frase que faz tanto sentido!!!
Moro nos Estados Unidos e tenho 17 anos. Fiquei muito orgulhosa ao ver que o Lula foi re eleito para ser o presidente do Brasil, um pais tao lindo que tem de tudo para ser um paraiso. Sei e acredito que o Lula ira melhorar cada vez mais o Brasil, como ele fez nesses quatro anos e como vira a fazer nesses quatro que viram...
Acho que sou muito nova para falar e saber de politica, mais de uma coisa eu tenho certeza... o Lula eh a solucao do Brasil. Ele tem muita sabedoria e capacidade para ocupar um cargo tao importante que eh do da presidencia.
Lula, pode saber de uma coisa, para algumas pessoas no brasil, vc nao eh nada, mais para o Brasil vc eh TUDO!!! E para mim tambem!!!
PaRaBeNs LuLa!!! Va em frente porque vc tem capacidade!
