By GottaLaff

President Obama is using his cabeza:

President Obama wrote an op-ed that ran today in 15 Carribean, Latin American and United States newspapers, promising the other nations of the hemisphere "a new day" in their relationship to its most powerful member.

"Choosing a Better Future in the Americas" appeared this morning in the St. Petersburg Times and Miami Herald, both of which serve substantial Cuban American readerships, and the Trinidad Express of Trinidad and Tobago, where Obama is headed to tomorrow to attend the Summit of the Americas than runs through April 19. As well, the op-ed ran in El Nuevo Herald, an American Spanish-language paper.

The op-ed also ran in a number of Grupo de Diarios America affiliates across the hemisphere: La Nación in Argentina, O Globo in Brazil, El Mercurio in Chile, El Tiempo in Colombia, La Nación in Costa Rica, El Comercio in Ecuador, El Universal in México, El Comercio in Perú, El Nuevo Día in Puerto Rico, El País in Uruguay and El Nacional in Venezuela.
