President Barack Obama came under bitter attack Wednesday for doing the tango and taking in other pleasures on his visits to Cuba and Argentina amid the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels, with Republican strategist Anna Navarro saying "I think the entire thing is horrible.
"It reminded me of when he went golfing after James Foley's head was cut off," Navarro, a former Jeb Bush supporter, told John Berman on CNN.
Obama played golf on Martha's Vineyard in September 2014 after making a quick statement condemning the beheading of Foley, a freelance journalist from New Hampshire, by Islamic State terrorists. He later admitted that the move was a mistake after widespread outrage by critics.
In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, President Bush was roundly criticized for continuing to read to the school children he was visiting, if only for a few moments. It was a grotesque politicization of an honest moment, as he coped with news of an unspeakable tragedy. In the wake of this tragedy, President Obama has done far worse, playing the aloof spectator, content to be entertained by this hemisphere's greatest tyrants while Islamic terrorists run wild.
