Mika and Joe (Morning Joe) slam President Obama

Mika was the first to criticize and set the table for Joe to follow up. They thought the President should have come back home immediately as a show of strength and solidarity with our allies. They showed him at the baseball game, with his shades on, and laughing and having a good time. They said he talked for only 51 seconds about the attack in Brussels. They did not show his comments...

They had a general and an admiral on the segment to validate their deep concern for this country's lack of leadership. One of them was the ex-CIA chief, and torturer, General Michael Hayden.

Someone reported on C-SPAN that the President was going to continue his swing through South America by visiting Argentina today. No doubt, the visit to Cuba by this President has revived a lot of old hatred.

Belgium is not only a member of NATO but it is where the headquarters are located.

An attack on one member of NATO is an attack on all members (per the text of the agreement).

This is beyond dumb, but not unexpected. If he had rushed back to Washington they would have criticized him for overreacting to the situation. I'm glad the POTUS has adopted a "Do I give a fuck what you think?" attitude for his last months in office.

running through Muslim 'neighborhoods' ground slamming everyone.

Cruz said the same thing, "If he is President" he will order patrols of those USA terrorist 'neighborhoods'.

At least on CBS the journalist asked Cruz why he would want to make America a target of terrorist attacks.

but you know showing solidarity by leaving our allies high in dry isn't worth a comment from these people. They are worthless things. TV news makes you dumb.

from the get go. But in hind sight I think it may have been good for Cuba - we isolated them enough that they were allowed to grow their own economy and services (universal healthcare). I only hope that they are strong enough to be able to withstand the onslaught of the American businesses who are going to exploit them like they do the people of all countries they move to.
