President Obama’s trip to Colombia was overshadowed by the Secret Service Sex Scandal, which has been in the headlines for weeks now. However, much has been overlooked by the media regarding his trip. Using google, research President Obama’s trip and tell me 1. What city did he go to in Colombia? 2. Why did he go there? 3. What was his position regarding the Falkland Islands? If you have any problems finding the answers, ask me or a classmate for help! When you are done, you may work on your Chapter 6 Spelling Contract! ¡Buena suerte!
