Pres. Barack Obama was at a state dinner in Argentina on Wednesday night, and he danced a surprisingly (if not just a LITTLE awkward) good tango. Both the president and First Lady Michelle Obama were invited to dance. He is in the second and final leg of his Latin American trip that started in Cuba on Sunday.
The “Morning Joe Show” ragged on the president for being in Argentina after the attack on Brussels. So, I guess he was supposed to know about the attacks beforehand? The president does not have to be psychic, last I checked.
He is also showing how a president SHOULD conduct himself. He is charming people in Latin America and fixing relations with Cuba. He is the first president to go to Cuba in almost 90 years.
Obama met with Cuban President Castro to talk about opening up trade between the two countries. Our countries are different, but Obama and Castro have vowed to try and find common ground. He also brought 40 members of Congress to indicate growing interest in lifting the trade embargo.
Obama has also made the first presidential trip to Argentina in over 20 years. The hope is that business leaders will travel there as well.
He visited with the new Argentinian president, Mauricio Macri, who was elected three months ago. Macri is making changes to the Argentinian market and trying to renew ties with the United States. The American Chamber of Commerce in Argentina organized a conference with over 800 business leaders to coincide with Obama’s visit. Macri wants the trade between our countries to grow.
In contrast, the Republican candidates are now insulting each others wives. A couple of weeks ago the candidates were talking about their mini MAN PARTS on a National Republican Presidential Debate. Yes, these are the people that the Republicans are offering as candidates. Hopefully, this lack of class will keep any of them out of the Oval Office.
