Obama's Coming to Brazil?

I didn't watch last night's State of the Union address but I guess I may have company in a few weeks.  Obama's coming to Brazil as well as "to forge new alliances for progress in the Americas" with Chile and El Salvador.  Just hope it's NOT during Carnaval (March 5-10) and that I can find a way to hear him speak.  Hopefully there will be some sort of public event. 

When G. Bush came to BSB a few years ago, he did speak publicly and one of Andrea's Kindergarten teacher friends got kicked out of the event for a t-shirt she made (I believe it was related to getting out of Iraq).  Hopefully, it'll happen.  Hopefully it'll be reasonable to hear him speak.  But I have to be honest and don't put it past me that I won't review what jobs my American students' families have at the embassy. 

P.S.  After doing some investigating, Dilma was supposed to visit the U.S. during that month originally.  The dates between the two are still being confirmed so this could be a total hoax.  I also just spent about 15 minutes skimming his address and didn't find anything.  Balloon most likely will burst.
