President Obama spent exactly 51 seconds discussing Tuesday's terror attacks in Brussels before pivoting back to his prepared remarks in Cuba.
Obama asked the Havana audience to "please indulge me" before committing that the U.S. "will do whatever is necessary" to support the people of Belgium.

As bad as the still picture is, the video is much, much worse.

lol, sounds EXACTLY like what he was thinking!
It looks like the two of them are singing “I’m a little tea-pot”...
From the day one when Bozo lost out on the Olympic games, our illustrious leader has been cursed by bad timing and one epic fail after another. It’s one thing to be snake bit but it’s truly uncanny on just how badly Obama has performed on the world stage. The guy can’t buy a break. Even his March Madness bracket is currently behind 2.4 million others. lol
True that........... from The Wire!
Zer0’s comment on the Brussels attack could have been delivered by a robot. This is what happens when you spend too much time hooked up to the teleprompter.
While Belgium is paralyze by an horrendous Islamic terrorist attack, Obama embraced the Cuban Stalinist regime, the longest lasting terrorist country in the world. Right after dedicating 30 second to the Brussels massacre, Obama went with the Cuban dictator to enjoy a baseball game between a Cuban and American team instead of returning to Washington.
See No Terror, Hear No Terror, Speak No Terror (Obama on Cuba)
Humberto Fontova
Townhall 5/29/2015
Today President Obama further opened the financial floodgates from the U.S. to the world’s most notorious deadbeat nation—who is also a “State Sponsor of Terrorism.”
Quotation marks are now required around the term “State-Sponsor of Terrorism” when referring to Cuba because just this morning, as the 45 day notification period to Congress expired, President Obama officially removed Cuba from the State Department’s list of State Sponsors of Terrorism, where President Reagan had placed it in 1982.
“Laughing all the way to the bank,” hardly does justice to what the multi-billionaire Castro family must be doing this week. The $7 billion they stole at Soviet gunpoint from U.S. businessmen in 1960 hasn’t even been mentioned by Obama’s “negotiators” as a “discussion topic” for U.S. “normalization.”
And why should they mention it? Have any of them ever run a business? Tacky notions like settling up past debts before incurring new ones doesn’t figure into the mind-set of these ultra-educated Beltway bureaucrats. That yahoo Sam Drucker mentality just isn’t for them.
Today’s further diplomatic benediction of Cuba by Obama means that the estimated $4.2 billion already flowing from the U.S. to Cuba annually will crank up nicely. This windfall resulted from Obama’s flurry of executive orders abolishing Presidents Reagan and Bush’s travel and remittance restrictions to Castro’s fiefdom.
In brief, almost every year since Obama took office more cash has been flowing from the U.S. to Cuba than used to flow there from the Soviets at the height of their Cuba-sponsorship. Liberals and (libertarians) insist on calling such a state of financial affairs an “embargo.”
Now this removal from the terror- list will allow the Castro family to further loot international financial institutions like the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. You’re aware, I’m sure, who ultimately foots most of the bill for these international welfare agencies, badly disguised as lending institutions?
Right. The U.S. taxpayer.
On John Stossel’s show recently your humble and hard-working servant tried explaining this peril to the U.S. taxpayer of Obama’s Cuba policy. Alas, libertarians (and thus presumably champions of the U.S. taxpayer?) Stossell and his CATO colleague blindly support Obama’s Cuba policy. So my effort was vain.
As usual with libertarians, you present a real-world fact, they counter with a chant from the sacred texts of one of their economic gurus. You present another fully-documented historical event, they repeat their holy mantra. You’re better o reasoning with a Hare-Krishna.
And speaking of terror-sponsorship. Just last week Cuba (practically) got caught red-handed supplying Chinese-made arms to the Western hemisphere’s oldest biggest and most murderous terror-group, Colombia’s FARC. The terror-death toll from these Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) exceeds 200,000, and includes more U.S. citizens than have been murdered by ISIS.
So maybe it was a mere coincidence that the very week Obama planned to remove Cuba as a terror-sponsor the mainstream media blacked-out any mention of this blatant terror-sponsorship by Cuba in our own backyard.
Back in February, you see, Colombian authorities found 99 missile heads, 100 tons of gunpowder, 2.6 million detonators, and over 3,000 artillery shells hidden under rice sacks in a ship bound from Red China to Cuba that docked in the port of Cartagena Colombia.
Most Cuba-watchers immediately guessed what was up. And just last week Colombian reporters (actually worthy of the name, unlike so many of ours) exposed the scheme.
In brief:
*The arms were from a Chinese manufacturer named Norinco and the recipient was a Cuban company named Tecnoimport.
*But the ship stopped in the Colombian ports of Cartagena and Baranquilla (where the FARC is based, remember.)
* Colombia’s crackerjack newspaper El Espectator also reports that many Norinco-manufactured arms have already been captured from FARC guerrillas over the past ten years.
This proliferation of Cuba-smuggled Chinese arms to the terrorist FARC got so bad that in 2007-08 The Colombian authorities even send a diplomatic protest note to the Chinese.
This awkward information at this awkward time, needless to say, might have hampered Obama’s plan to cleanse Castro from any taint of terror-sponsorship—assuming, that many people would have switched off the Kardashians to learn of it. Hence you’re only reading about it here at Townhall.
Colombia’s FARC goes so far as to thank the Cuban regime for their immense success at terror. “Thanks to Fidel Castro” boasted late FARC commander Tiro-Fijo in a 2002 interview, “we are now a powerful army, not a hit and run band.”
A few years ago a report from Colombia’s military intelligence DAS (Departamento Administrativo de Seguridad) obtained again by the crackerjack Colombian paper, El Espectador revealed that the FARC maintains a major office in Havana.
And oh….almost forgot. What about the Cuban people, the folks whose felicity Obama claims as the goal of his Cuban “opening?”
Well with their new Obama-issued economic lifeline gushing nicely, the Castro regime has unleashed a wave of terror on their subjects surpassing most of the terror of the past ten years, which is really saying something.
Before I turned it off, O’s Cuban speech related everything in their history to HIM. Our Narcissist in Chief at it again.
Obama spends 51 seconds on Brussels before going back to Cuba speech
Hussein spends 51 seconds on Brussels before going back to Cuba speech
There. Fixed it.
"ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME (pause..)
"ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME"
"Thank you for coming everyone."
ISIS is alive... and Chris Stevens is dead
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Hes got cigrs to smoke and donkey shows to watch Michelle take part in.
A Leader he is not. In fact, he is the very antithesis of a leader.
I’m sure Pres. Obama’s speech on the terror attack (or workplace violence) was truly inspirational and right up there with Winston Churchll’’s “we will never give up, we will never surrender” speech. Sarc+
They ought to ask him to visit Gitmo....and then while he’s there...throw him in one of the cells
Limp? Proof of mind control?
Obama’s ‘Dreams of My Father’
Wasn’t Chris Stevens an American? Isn’t Benghazi in Libya? Didn’t Hillary assure us last week that “no Americans were killed in Libya?” Does anyone wonder why Americans don’t believe half of what politicians say?
