A LEADING Marbella expat has secured the speaker of a lifetime at a high profile climate change conference. International wine expert, Pancho Campo, has confirmed Barack Obama for this summer’s Climate Change Leadership Porto Summit on July 6 in Portugal. This will be the fourth climate change conference Chilean native, Campo, has organised with the former three taking place in Spain with a focus on the wine industry. The Marbella-based businessman told the Olive Press his main goal is to ‘empower people’. “We want to engage them to do something at their own level. It’s up to each of us. “Whether you are a student, a politician or a CEO, put into practice what Obama and the others are going to tell you,” urged Campo. The entrepreneur became passionate about the subject 15 years ago after witnessing first hand the effects of climate change on skiing trips and ‘unbearably hot’ summers in Florida. After carrying out extensive … [Read more...] about Marbella expat confirms Barack Obama as guest speaker at leading climate change conference

Barack Obama branded Kanye West a ‘jackass’ – and the rapper STILL hasn’t forgiven him nine years later
RAPPER Kayne West has again slammed Barack Obama – for failing to apologise for calling him a “Jackass” nine years ago. The former US president first used the term to describe West when the performer famously interrupted Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at MTV’s VMA awards in 2009. And Obama also branded him a “Jackass” in April 2012 when he admitted he preferred West’s mentor JAY-Z. During an interview with American presenter Charlamagne the God, West warned Obama: “Don’t tell the world I’m a Jackass." In his message to the politician, he added: "I'm your favourite. But I'm not safe. But that's why you love me. So just tell me you love me. And tell the world you love me. "You know, he never called me to apologize. The same person who sat down with me and my mom, I think should have communicated with me directly and been like, ‘Yo, Ye, you, you know what it is’.” West, who’s recently been posting … [Read more...] about Barack Obama branded Kanye West a ‘jackass’ – and the rapper STILL hasn’t forgiven him nine years later
Barack Obama zatvara Guantanamo
Više od 13 godina nakon dolaska prvih zatvorenika u Guantanamo, Pentagon će predložiti premještanje spornog zatvora u Sjedinjene Države i konačno ispuniti izborno obećanje Baracka Obame. Američki predsjednik nema puno vremena za ispunjenje svoje obveze zatvaranja zatvora. Zatvor otvoren u siječnju 2002. za zatvorenike optužene za terorizam, zatvor i snimke zatvorenika zavezanih lancima u narančastim kombinezonima odaslali su lošu sliku Sjedinjenih Država u svijetu. Treba ukloniti “prvi argument kojim se služe džihadisti za vojačenje”, naglašava Barack Obama. Američki predsjednik je zatražio od Pentagona da preda nekoliko opcija za preseljenje zatvora u Sjedinjene Države, u kojem se danas nalazi 112 zatvorenika prema 700 u 2003. Pentagon treba obznaniti troškove tog preseljenja. Razmatraju se četiri mjesta: dva vojna zatvora u … [Read more...] about Barack Obama zatvara Guantanamo
Internet obsessed with Melania Trump beaming beside Barack Obama
Melania Trump was beaming while standing next to Barack Obama at the funeral of Barbara Bush, and a photograph of the special moment has gone viral. Ms Trump attended the funeral of the former first lady without the President and was seated next to Mr Obama. She looked radiant in his company, prompting the pictures to be compared to her often dour face while with her husband President Donald Trump - including at his inauguration. It's not clear what the pair discussed, but there's plenty of speculation and fascination. "Have you ever, ever, EVER seen Melania smile like this, and look this relaxed, beside her own husband? Ever?" asked author Steve Silberman. "Melania is actually happier with Obama at a funeral than she is with Trump at his inauguration," Twitter user Kimexander Hamilton said. "Find someone who smiles like Melania Trump does when she's talking to Obama & far away from Donald," former Pentagon staffer Adam Blickstein said. "Shout out to my man Barack Obama … [Read more...] about Internet obsessed with Melania Trump beaming beside Barack Obama
Melania Trump shares a laugh with Barack Obama at Barbara Bush’s funeral
Melania Trump and Barack Obama were spotted sharing a laugh at Barbara Bush's funeral on Saturday afternoon while Donald Trump skipped it. The White House had earlier announced that President Trump wouldn not be attending the funeral of the former first lady 'out of respect for the Bush family', but instead sent wife Melania to the service. At the funeral, held at St. Martin's Episcopal Church in Houston, the First Lady was sat next to former President Barack Obama. While some might have predicted an awkward encounter, on the contrary, the pair were seen laughing together. And it wasn't long before social media users began to joke about how happy Melania looked despite being at a funeral. One said: “Melania looks happier at a funeral than she has in ages. Wouldn’t you too if you went from being with Donald every day to sitting next to Barack?” A second shared: "Melania is actually happier with Obama at a funeral than she is with Trump at his inauguration dinner!" … [Read more...] about Melania Trump shares a laugh with Barack Obama at Barbara Bush’s funeral
