Obama dances while Brussels burns: President and Michelle take to the floor to TANGO...

In Brussels police are still desperately hunting a dangerous terrorist after he fled a triple-suicide bombing in the city that left 34 dead, as officials search for news on U.S. citizens who went missing during the attack and medics tend to nine more Americans lying wounded in hospital.

Meanwhile in Buenos Aires President Barack Obama was dancing the night away with wife Michelle at a glitzy state dinner alongside Argentine President Mauricio Macri and his first lady Juliana Awada as part of a two-day state visit.

Despite increasing calls from the likes of Donald Trump and Ted Cruz for the President to return home in the wake of the Brussels attack, Obama showed his determination to carry on regardless Wednesday night.

Perhaps as a concession to his critics, Obama said he will be sending John Kerry to Brussels on Friday to express his condolences on behalf of the American people and stand in solidarity with Belgium.

The Obamas also shared at candlelit dinner with Macri and Awada at the Centro Cultural Kirchner, named after Argentina's former President and Marci's predecessor, in the country's capital this evening.

The group paused for a photo opportunity on a red carpet on their way in with Obama and Marci dressed in suits and Michelle and Awada in glamorous evening dresses.

From there they made their way into a leafy candlelit courtyard for champagne, where champagne was served before the dancing began.

In Brussels, however, police continued to hunt for the mysterious 'man in white' pictured alongside suicide bomber Ibrahim el-Bakraoui and bomb-maker Najim Laachraoui who killed themselves along with 14 others in two suicide blasts at the city's international airport.

OBAMA must have left the red phone by his bed stand at the White House. All frantic messages are on his voice mail.

Caring about the Brussels attacks is racist.

(article):" ..Obama and Marci dressed in suits and Michelle and Awada in glamorous evening dresses."

Obviously , a more palatable 'photo op' than in front of the Che monument, with no selfie-stick !

That twit wouldn’t do anything to help anyway. Frankly, I’m thrilled he’s out of the country. I hope he never comes back. He can go visit North Korea next.

Sure, Johnny Ola used to take me there all the time! Haha.

Sadly, Obama is what you get when someone like Fredo is not stepped over— a grinning simpleton running the family business.

as much as it has been bandied about someone, somebody needs to start impeachment proceeds on this clown and it’s about multiple and very political tangos with the USA and the american people.
Who does TF he thinks he is?

And the people who elected him did not want a president, just some tool who would keep them on cushy payrolls, push for gay rights and provide free phones and welfare checks.
