One of James Taranto's recurring categories in his WSJ Best of the Web Today column is "the soft bigotry of low expectations." We have a great candidate for it from today's Morning Joe, as, expressing the sentiment of Americans at large, Joe Scarborough asked: "why can't our president be as tough as France's president?" Ouch.
From Scarborough to Mika Brzezinski to Nicolle Wallace, Rudy Giuliani to Michael Hayden, the condemnation of President Obama's weak, shades-wearing, wave-doing, grinning response to the Brussels outrage was relentless. Most brutal and disturbing of all was the assessement of former CIA Director Michael Hayden, who said of Obama's response: "that wasn't a mistake, that wasn't weakness, that was policy, that going to the ballpark and spending less than a minute commenting on the attack. I believe in his heart of hearts the president's policy is that is not that big a deal. There are other things that are more important and that was what he was messaging."

Point taken. At least Cubans can keep 50’s era cars running!
Southern cars... less rust (except near the beach).
Remember how they scolded president Bush when he spent 5 minutes finishing a book to school children so as not to scare them after he was informed about the 9-11 attacks? And this POSOTUS does the wave at a commie ball game.
The president was being historic. And when he is being historic, its all about him, even more than usual. So nothing is going to knock him off the tv being historic if he can help it.
LMAOROTF!
Ultimate insult indeed.
a meaningless baseball game in a communist country is significant...ooooK. Never mind that a terrorist group is systematically attacking European capital cities.... PLAY BALL!!
no kidding! he looks like he is enjoying the crap out of being in Cuba
It is a disgrace of epic proportions and he is giggling like a giddy schoolgirl
Baseball isn’t insignificant in Cuba. Tampa playing there was a major event. What I’m saying is the Obama’s could’ve gone to the game and be dignified and somber and insist on a moment of silence for the victims.
He has found the place he really wants his Presidential Library.
French Prez? Why can’t he be as tough as Shirley Temple?!
It’s another Obama ENTIRE FAMILY and FRIENDS VACATION....PAID BY US!!!!
To answer the question: because he is a wimpy homo.
