GOP Is Clueless

Terrorists win when they control the agenda, causing overreactions.  The Republican presidential candidates universally proclaimed that Obama should have immediately returned to the US from Cuba, because of the bombings in Brussels.

A president must multitask.  Obama conferred with world leaders, provided assistance and green lighted a plan to take down the second in  command of ISIS while still on his trip.  But, some things require personal attention.  Attempting to put Cuba on a gradual road to a more open society took a personal touch, including enjoying baseball, the national obsession of the country.

The visit to Argentina was also of historic import.  The second largest country in South America has replaced a government aligned with Hugo Chavez, with an administration open to the West.  Forging a bond with the new president of Argentina, is one of the most positive developments in our relationship with Latin America in the past decade.  If a tango can reshape South America, than it is the dance of destiny.

Meanwhile, the top GOP candidates are busy attacking each other's dance partners.
