The Islamic State claimed responsibility for the deadly bombings in Brussels today. At least 34 people were killed in the attacks. 9 Americans were injured in the blasts several are in critical condition.
One suicide bomb went off and at least one suitcase bomb at the Brussels airport.
President Obama devoted 50 seconds to the bombings. Then he went to a baseball game.
Presidents Obama and Castro seated next to each other at Cuba v @RaysBaseball game.

WOW the optics.... and he doesn’t understand how he is the one that created Donald Trump? I bet Trump would be very visible to our allies in times like this...
Ramadan is in June? So the sunup-sundown fast is going to occur during the longest days of the year, eh?
He’s [expletive] laughing and enjoying a ball game. I would like to think that all Americans of all stripes find this really disrespectful today.
I learned a lot from your post. Thanks.
The media is totally silent about Obama chumming with the Cuban commie at a ballgame while Belgium is dealing with this massacre.
If it were a Republican president, there would be massive outrage 24/7 on all channels. Trump is right, the media is the most dishonest group of people in the world.
All the people complaining about life going on need to remember the 70s. There’s was lots of terrorism hitting the world back then, and the various presidents whose countries didn’t get bombed on that particular day went on with their lives and duties. Sometimes they even got to have fun, watch sports. We have this weird obsession in the modern world with everybody stopping everything to commiserate about something bad happening on the other side of the planet. Sure, it sucks for Belgium, by I wouldn’t expect ANY American president to stop what they’re doing longer than it takes to sign a sympathy press release for it.
Obviously you have not seen the footage of Obama at the ballgame in Havana doing the wave, high-fiving people, and grinning like a Cheshire cat while calling half an inning on ESPN. Under the circumstances quite disgusting.
I’m listening to music I enjoy. Life goes on. 34 dead on a planet of 7 billion is simply not an international tragedy requiring fun to stop.
Odumbo, the P.O.S. could care less about Americans or anyone else killed by his brother Muslims.
It’s only 34 people. Geez
That’s a relatively peaceful day in Chicago.

I’m glad I did not see his sissy girl pitch. It was bad enough to see the carnage caused by his buddies, the Muzzie terrorists. Why he is at the ball game at all after this horrific terrorist attack and not back in the U.S. going over national security measures with experts is a complete disgrace. Do we really have to put up with this pansy for another year or can we just toss him into Leavenworth for treason?
Castro supports islamic terror attacks on the West, you can be assured of that. Obama feels good as a communist gangster.
Who was on the ESPN Baseball crew?
I don’t know if he should have immediately returned to the U.S. or not. However, that being said, he should have skipped the ball game, which had no diplomatic significance, and announced he was returning to his hotel (or his command center aboard Air Force One) to monitor the situation, confer with his national security advisers, speak with European leaders, and determine an appropriate response. He could have done all of those things while still in Cuba. Instead, he took the afternoon off to take in a ball game. While at the ballpark, he was completely out of the loop for a few hours, during which time anything could have been happening either in the U.S. or overseas. This guy is completely clueless.
Let him stay in Cuba, we’re better off.
