Barack Obama

April 2nd, 2013 (InsideCostaRica.com)  A 40-person “advance team” from the United States will  arrive in Costa Rica on Thursday to begin preparations for President Barack Obama’s visit to the country. The U.S. president is expected to arrive in the country on Friday, May 3rd.

 

Obama plans to attend the summit of the Central American Integration System (SICA), scheduled for May 4th, in addition to meeting with regional leaders.

 

Though the Costa Rican and U.S. governments say the visit has been planned for months, the exact venue, agenda, and other details of Obama’s visit have yet to be finalized, and is part of what the government hopes to clarify with the advance team, which will be in the country on Thursday and Friday.

 

Communication Minister, Francisco Chacon, said that the government has several options for hosting Mr. Obama, and that the U.S. advance team will be reviewing those options during their visit.

 

The White House said that Obama’s visit will serve to discuss development issues and public safety, while the Government of Costa Rica said it also has issues of migration, climate change, disaster preparedness, and clean energy that it seeks to add to the agenda.

    I’m sure his Monsanto thugs will put pressure on CR to destroy the food supply, along with free fluoride for all the drinking water. Send this clown home.

      Here they put the fluoride in the salt, together with iodine. There is only one company selling salt without the fluoride, but they also don’t add iodine. Plus, dentists routinely add a topical application to the teeth, especially in children. Letters and communications to the Department of Health here are routinely ignored in spite of the fact that the facts are now here: fluoride is poisonous. But the fluoride is still added, another example of Costa Rica being so far behind they think they’re first.

        fluoride is not poisonous. Monsanto is a great company. perhaps you prefer the world produce less food. the wing nut conspiracy brigade rivals the left wing obama/laura supporters in inanity. these fads of corporate evil are really getting stupid.

          You are a f-ing idiot if you think Monsanto is a great company, you are the scum bag George.

          • georgechapogas

    @clickron: Sir, i am sure The POTUS has no plans to do as you have said. I have no idea why you are so mad at the POTUS, I can’t imagine what he has ever done to you, or if he has ever met you. I am truly sorry you have such a bad impression of him!!
