Nero fiddled while Rome burned, and Obama did the tango

The images of our president in Cuba watching a baseball game and doing a wave the day of the Brussels attacks has drawn the attention of more than a few, but it is merely the latest in a series of images that show a growing disconnect between the Commander in Chief and his responsibility as the de facto leader the free world.

When France suffered the horror of its terror attacks in November leaders from Europe and around the world joined French president Francois Hollande in a show of unity in Paris near the site of one of the attacks.

President Obama was not there.

Now, sensing he would be criticized for attending the baseball game with Cuba strongman Raul Castro, he used his owned brand of presidential privileged moral relativism to reason that if we stop our normal activities and pay attention to terror attacks we've somehow given in to the terrorists and they've won.

But by not going to stand with the French in November and doing the tango in Argentina now as the people in Brussels await the next deadly terrorist attack, Obama is mitigating the menace of radical Islamic terrorism.

One would have to hope and pray that were those same bombs that went off in Brussels were to go off at an American airport, Obama would be on the plane home from Cuba immediately.

So what does he think? That the threat is not immediate because the terror attack happened on the other side of the Atlantic?

That's our front doorstep, Mr. President, the capital of Europe.

That's delusional to say the least.

Just as delusional as thinking the Castro regime can best be turned into a Democracy by taking in a baseball game with the reigning dictator.

What next? A one-on-one basketball game with North Korea's Kim Jong-un?
