Back in 2009, Obummer was a much better dancer.

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.

These optics are appalling. Brussels is having its 9/11, and Obama is still in South America . Wednesday night he tangoed. It even appeared he had taken lessons
Particularly as up to a dozen Americans were wounded in Brussels, and for all he knew, possibly dead. One U.S. couple is still missing and unaccounted for.
But Obama had other ideas.
He stayed in Cuba, made a cursory 1-minute statement about the Brussels bombings, then went to the baseball at Havana’s Latinoamericano stadium.
Even more extraordinarily, once he was there he allowed himself to be filmed laughing and joking with Raul Castro, the pair of them raising their arms in a joyful crowd wave.
This, surely, was outrageously insensitive to the grieving people of Belgium, not to mention the families of those wounded and missing Americans?
As former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani put it: ‘You don’t send a picture of yourself laughing while people have just been blown up at a level that is the equivalent of September 11 to one of our allies.’
When asked what difference it would have made if Obama had cancelled his South American tour, Giuliani explained: ‘The difference is that it would have made people feel that he’s a leader, that he’s in charge. This would be like Franklin Roosevelt remaining at Warm Springs when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour.’
Exactly.

It’s from a Thought Police graphic floating around here :o)
“Now, will they only stay awake?”
I predict that the lefties who have awakened will stay awake because bad things will continue to happen.
He doesn’t mind.
Dictator’s rarely care about the opinions of those they rule over.
Lame duck is stuck on Stoopid!
Because he doesn't care, and probably doesn't see them as atrocities. This is why he has mostly been out of the public eye for the past few months - his poll numbers drop when he does something clueless like this.
No, Piers, you useful tool mo-ron, he’s a communist and is rooting for our demise; that is the truth and we’d all be better off with fewer useful tools.
Just dancing out the rest of his term.
I wonder what country he will retire to?
He does it because he does NGAF about anyone except himself and agenda. He is not tone deaf, he just does not care. He is a super narcissist.
“I think President Obama knows full well that optics matter, but he chose his legacy over optics and it was a shameful, shameful disappointing moment for President Obama,” CNN pundit Ana Navarro said Wednesday of Obama. “I was disappointed. I was not surprised.”
Back in 2009, Obummer was a much better dancer.
Tone deaf to the public mood? Depends on which public
Obama hates being president, but he loves the perks. This man is a useless, self-centered, ego driven, did I already say useless, chicken legged, lisping little twerp. I despise this man and his brainless, tasteless fashionless, crude, barking dog of a wife. Sometimes it’s good to vent.
He doesn’t give a crap about what real Americans think.
Hillary is Satans spiritual advisor and Barry is his lawn jockey.
“Why does he not seem to have a clue how to behave when major atrocities happen around the world?”
They’re not atrocities to him. To him, that stuff is “justice”, he believes that we deserve it.
Dude, he is a pariah in two countries, can’t get a job on tv anymore and is reduced to writing for a tabloid newspaper. I don’t think his opinions have changed, but he’s probably just realized that if he doesn’t change his schtick, he will be completely unemployable.
Some people on the left are waking up. Now, will they only stay awake?
Could it be the damage assessment of what Obama's tenure has done to liberalism itself?
Or is it that they're just pissed that a liberal is squandering an opportunity to show how much he cares?
Think about it, they don't even want to be called liberals anymore, opting now for "progressive". The consequences of liberalism are coming to the fore. Obamacare an utter failure. Middle East aflame, direct result of leaving Iraq and siding with Iran versus Israel. ISIS, created by Obama idiocy, now attacking Europe, soon the US.
On the home front, it is becoming apparent that blacks and whites have been deliberately polarized, perhaps irreparably. Whole country angry as hell and fearful they aren't being protected.
The very existence of the Donald Trump phenomenon is evidence that the people see liberalism in a much different light than pre-Obama. I believe the Bernie craze has more to do with the rejection of Obama-style liberalism than the embrace of socialism. What are they going to do, vote Republican?
Complaining about Obama "optics" now is a bit late isn't it Piers? We are witnessing damage control. Obama's being given the hook by his own. It's just now dawning on them that Liberalism itself is in trouble.
