“That was a tremendous mistake,” Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. “It’s fine to go to Argentina, you want to do the work, but you’ve got to be careful of these little photo ops and optics. Baseball games and tangos, that’s inconsistent with the seriousness of the day.”

“Obama attacks the dance floor,” the Drudge Report declared.
----------
“Fox and Friends” aired video of the president’s dance moves along with the label “Tango Over Terror.”
-------------
"When everybody else is worried about where ISIS is, who they are going to kill next, and [if they] are going to come over here,” former Judge Andrew Napolitano said on the cable network’s morning show, “the president shouldn’t be in Argentina doing the tango.”
-----------
Nicolle Wallace, former communications director for President George W. Bush, said Obama’s reluctance to alter his itinerary “puts him vastly … out of step with the entire American public, not just Republicans.
------------
“His policy choice was to proceed with everything on his schedule and not to react to the threat of terrorism,” Wallace said on MSNBC. “There were mothers lying dead while their, you know, family members were at the crime scene yesterday, and to [make it] look like the priority is to go on a foreign trip instead of pausing for a minute and explaining that to America is a communications crime.”
------------------
“As long as they’re having a nice spring break,” conservative radio host Laura Ingraham snarked on Twitter, “that’s all that really matters.”
----------
Presidential hopefuls John Kasich and Ted Cruz had urged Obama to return to the United States or go to Brussels.
“President Obama should be back in America keeping this country safe or President Obama should be planning to travel to Brussels,” Cruz said on Tuesday. “We don’t need another lecture from Obama on Islamophobia.”

a spark of contradiction..,
in my post, you declared that rest-of-world affairs is no
concern to the American President
and that included Pope's Easter benedictions
and so you dismissed
and here you are lambasting your own President
when Brussels got flamed.
define your conservative boundaries
dear Joan of Arc!!
I posted other people's quotes...
.... Americans worry about other Americans, here & abroad.
Americans slam EACH President, always have. It is our right to do so. They are temporary & elected.
* I will slam the next one too...hhaa..*
The Pope has nothing to do with the USA. Except in his own head. Hhaa.
Perhaps you see him as a world leader & you are hoping we (Americans) do... for Islamicification? Oh well...
Joan of Arc ?
.Again.. I/we am not under the Vatican. (Or Mama Merkel)
Apparently it is not just Muslims who think some Vatican ideology will manipulate the rest of us.
(Non Muslims).
Misery sure loves company.
I never said Americans are not concerned with world affairs. Of course we are.
But we are far more concerned about our own safety & our own affairs.
(As each country should be.)
Again.. We are not Globalist.
What the President does & doesn't do, what he says & doesn't say; is our affair.
And so is what country his as@ is, when he should be performing his duties .. Including reassuring & protecting his own country & allies & naming the REAL evil.
The Pope is not our concern.
(Unless he interferes). He is King of The Vatican which is it's own country & his kingdom, he is not king of the USA or Jews or Christians or ANY Non Muslims.
* And he talks too much & dresses really funny. hhaa *
Don't put words in my mouth.
