Shakira Goes To The White House!

Being nice pays off for Colombia's favourite sweetheart and monster talent.

Please Note-anyone who disagrees with me on this thread is a FARC sympathiser who eats kittens for breakfast.



♥♥♥Shakira cantará en la toma de mando de Barack Obama en la Casa Blanca♥♥♥

17:15 | La cantante colombiana será la única intérprete latina en la asunción del presidente de los Estados Unidos el próximo mes de enero


Washington.- La cantante colombiana ♥Shakira♥ será la única intérprete latina a cantar en la toma de poder del presidente electo de Estados Unidos, Barack Obama en enero próximo, según fuentes.


Mientras la cantante Beyoncé ya externó su deseo de actuar en el día de la pose de Obama en la Casa Blanca, al parecer ♥Shakira♥ ya ha sido invitada.


Cuando el presidente electo todavía estaba en campaña agradeció el apoyo que recibió de la intérprete colombiana: "Es un honor para mi el recibir tanto apoyo de alguien con tanto talento, y de una artista tan generosa".

Sweet. Excellent news for Colombia---a true humanitarian to represent the country for an international audience.

I don't think I could have withstood Uribe's singing. Thankfully, McCain lost.

Hey MiamiMike, why do you hate Uribe so much? Is it because he's reduced kidnappings by 75% and homicides by 40% in Colombia?

Mononoke,

Shakira is better looking and wealthier than you'll ever be, just remember that.

Simon you make No Sense! Make a credible post and I'll respond! BTW, Uribe reduced Kidnappings by 75% or whatever with the help of Plan Colombia Money --supplied by the US Taxpayer of course(of which I have been one for 40 years). You consistently omit half of the details in your Postings Simon! Selective Amnesia we call it in the medical field! Simon--I told you 6 months ago The FTA wasn't going to pass--you doubted me! What do have to say now? No more Hail Mary Passes for the FTA Simon! Obama and Hillary will be making the Calls now on any Plan Colombia! And the conditions on which it passes, if it does pass at all. I get under your skin on this issue Simon and that's why you make these posts--you cannot stand the truth! I can push your button! LOL

Shakira is also smarter then you Simon! LOL

Simon--from Miamimike :from my mouth to your ears:

Funny some of the same people here who are outraged when a joke(deserved or not) is made about Colombia yet fail to express the same outrage when a similiar Joke is made about the USA(deserved or not) or its citizens. And in some cases, it(usa) is their adopted country who offered them Values like Safety, gainful employment and personal security which their own country of Colombia could not offer them. Unequal outrage,,,

Tolu you should stop only reading and spreading Chavista propaganda, we already got Pobre doing that here. Shakira supports the FTA and she will make sure Obama gets the message:

"On her visit to the Hill, Shakira said she’s excited to meet “with both sides of the coin,” and by “coin” she likely means “aisle.” She balked at discussing one of the Hill’s hot topics — a free trade agreement with her home country — saying no more than, “It’s no news, the fact that I support it.”

Seriously though, I can't stand the knee-jerk negative reaction people have to Shakira. In case you all haven't noticed, people who reach that level of fame (Gabo, Botero) usually find more it more amenable to live abroad in peace. That doesn't mean they don't care for Colombia. Shakira has her ALAS and Pies Descalzos foundations, which are more important than any piddling vacation or mansion in Colombia, imo.

Not to hi-jack the thread, but,............. is Botero still alive? and, if so, then where does he live, if not in Colombia?

Do you root for the FARC? I bet you do since you seem to hate Colombia so much.If you do live in Colombia, they should deport you, who knows what sinister motives you might have!

BTW, WHO IS THE COWARDY MODERATOR WHO DELETES THE THREADS OF THOSE WHO DEFEND COLOMBIA? JUST WHAT IS THE AGENDA OF THIS SO-CALLED MODERATOR?
