Doesn´t know a country like Brazil is capable of huge tasks, like organizing the first total electronic voting of the galaxy,all over the nation, about same size as the US: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Brazil" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elections_in_Brazil</a> As an IT editor, she should show some experience related to IT issues, IT people should not behave like "Oprah Princess" when it comes to understand tech changes. And nobody cares about little Sarah(who?) in Brazil, we treat any US citizen well, as long as they show some respect to us. Sarah is not wellcome in Brazil anymore, I´m sure there are many other IT pros better then her, as less arrogant in the US. She´s totally amateur.

As an IT editor, she should show some experience related to IT issues, IT people should not behave like "Oprah Princess" when it comes to understand tech changes.

And nobody cares about little Sarah(who?) in Brazil, we treat any US citizen well, as long as they show some respect to us.
Sarah is not wellcome in Brazil anymore, I´m sure there are many other IT pros better then her, as less arrogant in the US.

I have both a New Zealand and a Brazilian passport. I wasl ucky to be able to get long H1 visas for the U.S. on my Brazilian passport so I didn't have to endure the face-to-face meetings with officials asking what are your intentions when taking your kids to visit Disney World Miami. Many Brazilians had to endure those long queues to meet officials that would simply deny a visa to a family wishing to visit Disney with the kids. Of course with the New Zealand passport things are a bit easier - visa waiver and all, but you still need to apply for a permission to travel to the U.S. (online, but still a huge invasion of privacy). No, she's not connected to her own country. If she only knew it... It's not like the U.S. offers the best and welcoming immigration services in the world.
