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.
