Je Suis Charles Martel
24th March 2016
If there’s any doubt in anybody’s mind that the President doesn’t have the back of Western Civilization, his nonchalant attitude in Cuba should dispel it.
Think of it, while Belgian police were shifting through the horrible carnage in Brussels, our President and his elegantly coiffed wife and daughters were doing the “wave” with Raul Castro at a baseball game. Just imagine if George W Bush were still in office and he pulled off a stunt like that.
The game was bad enough. The optics of the entire trip were even worse: nobody was there to greet Air Force One when it landed at Jose Marti International Airport; Castro lectured Obama on the evils of the West; he raised Obama’s arm in a limp salute showing off the American President like a conquered chieftain. The only thing Obama didn’t do was bow at he waist in the presence of a foreign head of state. Maybe he would have if Castro was a Moslem king.
