Dilma Rousseff, 64, was sworn in as Brazil's first female president in January 2011. Rousseff's approval rating surged to 77% at mid-March from 72% in December, according to the survey carried out by Brazilian polling firm Ibope. That puts Rousseff, who had never run for public office before winning the presidency, among the most popular democratically elected leaders in the world.Dilma Rousseff will be received next April 9 in the White House by Barack Obama. Among other issues, Brazil is concerned with recent legislation from the state of Florida barring local governments from contracting companies making business with Cuba. Such is the case of Odebrecht which has been contracted to build a hotel complex next to the Miami airport worth 700 million dollars.
