Twinkle-toes Obama might be a demon at the tango but when it comes to reading the public mood he’s tone-deaf


What the hell is wrong with Barack Obama?

Why does he not seem to have a clue how to behave when major atrocities happen around the world?

The ISIS terror attacks on Brussels were Belgium’s 9/11.

Belgium is a long-time loyal U.S. ally and fellow member of NATO.

Obama, in his capacity as President of the United States, is supposed to be ‘leader of the free world’ and therefore, de facto, leader of NATO.

That alone should have demanded he immediately abandon his jolly in Cuba, where he is cosying up to a dictatorship, and return to Washington to lead the global response with a powerful statement from the Oval Office.

...

It looked terrible, like he didn’t care.

And to be harshly frank, I don’t think he did much.

When Larry King retired from CNN, Morgan took over his show. He's no right winger, nor is he funded by big oil. Did I miss any of the usual attacks on the messenger?
 
USA Today not liking Obama much lately, either. Must be in the tank for the Clintons.

Although a Clinton spokesperson has since walked back Bill's apparent gaffe, that couldn’t have gone over well at the White House — or, at any rate, at the mansion in Cuba where President Obama was staying just then — but Clinton was right. Barack Obama has left an awful legacy, and the next president, whoever it is, will have a lot to deal with. Fortunately, the next president — whether it’s Hillary, Donald Trump or Ted Cruz, or even Bernie Sanders — will probably be a better president.

For one example of Obama’s “awful legacy,” we need look no further than the terror attacks this week in Brussels. These attacks, which killed dozens and injured close to 200, were perpetrated by the Islamic State, the group that Obama once disparagingly called a “jayvee team.”

Well, for a jayvee team, they’ve done a lot of damage, in the Middle East and beyond, and it’s in large part because of Obama’s premature withdrawal from Iraq, which fulfilled a political promise, but which had the effect of squandering a decade of blood and treasure, and costing many thousands of lives.

I don't care about his politics, he is a giant douche.
 
How ironic. I've spent the last couple of days thinking how much I appreciate Obama's approach when compared to the childish babble and bed-wetting coming from the right.
 
This is pretty funny. So if a terrorist attack happens, Obama is supposed to fly home and give a speech?

1) So now all of a sudden y'all think it's a good thing when Obama gives speeches?
2) Isn't disrupting things exactly what the terrorists want?

Yeah I honestly don't see what this butt hurt is about. The Pres had this trip planned for months in advance. There's no reason for him to fly home immediately for this terrorist attack across the fucking sea.

The pictures don't lie. He makes a perfectly good point.

ISIS is Obama's doing. They attacked Belgium, a horrible tragedy. Obama danced and did the wave in Cuba with a dictator to celebrate. That's how it appeared.

Thanks Obama, from every Belgian.

Obama used some of them fightin' words! From the article:

Obama insisted yesterday that getting on with normal life is the best answer to terrorism. He said, ‘a lot of it is also going to be to say: You do not have power over us. We are strong, our values are right. You offer nothing, except death.’

Wow. I bet those murderous medieval monsters are trembling in their suicide bomber vests at those stirring words, Mr Obama!

Not.

The truth is that ISIS increasingly DOES have power over us because its own ultra-violent campaign has made many people now deeply fearful of going about their normal lives in the way Obama suggests.

What I suspect the terrorists are really thinking is that if the U.S. president is so relaxed about them blowing up Brussels that he can go to watch baseball immediately afterwards, then they have nothing to worry about and can continue, with impunity, committing massacres on people also ‘going about their normal lives’.

I am reminded of Obama’s reaction when ISIS beheaded American journalist James Foley.

He made a quick speech saying how dreadful it all was, then, just seven minutes later, he was filmed teeing off on the golf course and laughing with some mates.

That was a disgrace, and so is this.
 
Krauthammer piles on. He also answers barfo's silly question.

http://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/charles-krauthammer-obama-ideological-holiday-article-1.2576837

The split-screen told the story: on one side, images of the terror bombing in Brussels; on the other, Barack Obama doing the wave with Raul Castro at a baseball game in Havana.

On one side, the real world of rising global terrorism. On the other, the Obama fantasy world in which romancing a geopolitically insignificant Cuba — without an ounce of democracy or human rights yielded in return — is considered a seminal achievement of American diplomacy.

Cuba wasn’t so much a legacy trip as a vanity trip, vindicating the dorm-room enthusiasms of one’s student days when the Sandinistas were cool, revolution was king and every other friend had a dog named Che.

When Brussels intervened, some argued that Obama should have cut short his trip and come back home. I disagree. You don’t let three suicide bombers control the itinerary of the American President. Moreover, Obama’s next stop, Argentina, is actually important and had just elected a friendly government that broke from its long and corrupt Peronist past.

Nonetheless, Obama could have done without the baseball. What kind of message does it send to be yukking it up with Raul even as Belgian authorities are picking body parts off the floor of the Brussels airport?

I mean, seriously, what do they want him to do? Cancel all of the plans, however insignificant they may be to SOME people, and setup some sort of worldwide speech? Come on now, get real... Obama was fine (And I don't say that often...). I see no problem in him finishing his plans, and then making an address after. Now had this been an attack on our home soil, it'd be a lot different IMO.
 
At least Obama can travel all over the world freely. Bush and Cheney rarely go anywhere. They are considered war criminals in most countries and are afraid of their own shadows.

Please please please, Obama, travel all over the world and leave us alone here at home.

Thank you.

Yes you already posted that and I said I disagree with it and said roughly, Let him go to Baseball, the trip was planned and there is nothing he can about a bombing across the world.
 
My major question is who funded the baseball trip? Why the fuck do these guys get to go all over the world on vacation? You are supposed to get paid what 200k a year to be president? Yet every president ends up being a millionaire and living a lavish life style on the tax payers dime.

It's not a vacation. And it is $400k/year. Which is peanuts, considering the job.
