President Obama presented with Brazil jersey

US President Barack Obama was presented with a signed Brazil jersey at the G-8 summit in Italy. The jersey was handed over by Brazil President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the aftermath of the US national team's Confederations Cup final loss to Brazil.

President Obama saw the lighter side when given the jersey.

"Hey, look at this. Beautiful. All right, wonderful. I like that," he reportedly said.
