Mensagem: 

Let me give it a try, I might be wrong too.

as an adjective - "I'm pleased and the Brazilian people are satisfied that we have done something in seven months that has taken other countries years to do," said Lula on the reform amendment [...]

pleased and satisfied describe an emotional state, not an action.

as a verb - that we have done something in seven months that has taken other countries years to do pleased Lula and the Brazilian people a lot.
