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.

Well, we all know he’s an idiot. And best at this point to let the iconic idiot sail into history without interference.

Can you imagine if black Americans were attacked? That would be different. He still wouldn’t give a rats butt, but he’d feel the need to show back up.

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

He's not worried in the slightest. He's celebrating his people's victory in Belgium.

To be fair, what would we expect any President to do? Even Reagan?

This was a terrorist attack not in the USA, but in an allied country. There are many terrorist attacks across the world. the POTUS needs to keep overall schedule unless it is either an attack on the US (no matter how small) or a debilitating attack on a close ally

Give the guy a break.

Meeting Castro and taking a state trip to Cuba, the one last true communist country and a true iconic Vanguard of The Revolution is the culmination of the collective lives dreams of the entire Obama Administration.

There can be no more important or powerful peak experience.

You can't expect a mere explosion in some European imperialistic and colonialist country to disrupt and overshadow the Obama’s most sublime moment of Triumph in the lime light on the world stage.

In the eyes of Obama, on this day a torch is being passed from one generation to the next and from one icon to another.

And that torch being passed is nothing less than the guiding light of the entire socio anarchist movement world wide and the eyes of the cadres of Obama’s entire world are on them and gazing enviously on them.

How could anyone dare to distract or detract Obama when he is in the moment

Seriously, from Obama’s perspective this Cuba trip is history in the making and Colonial, Imperial Europe is History

And he has worked so hard to get to this point and make both happen.

Let the man eat his waffle

Look’s to me like ValJar is sitting to the left in some pics. Clappin’ and grinnin’ like a possum.

Whoever beats Hillary in the general and takes the helm next year, I pray to God, prosecutes this bunch starting with Hillary and a different player each week.

It is crazy how you can’t pry Obama away from this little commie crusade for anything. Now he’s in Argentina?

Personally I wouldn’t mind if he went full Col. Kurtz and stayed in Cuba forever.

Che is gone-he’s dust . But this a-h*le has the temerity to stand in front of a ages old icon that is even meaningless to impoverished Cubanos.

I hope when this inverted totalitarian regime of big ears is ended I can go back to MY waffle , eat it in peace and know there is someone in WH who is a true American and that’s why I’m voting Trump.

Re-righting the priorities of the US since big ears came aboard is like turning a very large ship around in the ocean in a 50’chop.

Look at the photos at the source article.

They switched spouses for the dancing. The Argentinians certainly got the short ends of the stick on that one!

Being a fraud likely has something to do with inability to act/react properly.

Big ears may sail into history but those who love what our country stands for and our Constitution are left to turn this mis-guided, mis-governed, steaming pile of dishonored crap around in a veritable ocean with a 50’chop. Big ears should be wearing orange and in the federal pen in Lexington, KY.

Instant Karma would be something happening to Obama and no one else.
