That's 2 for you today.
these RX conservatives are weird people with their word game bullshit. I mean, they actually believe that " you didn't build that" meant Obama was saying you didn't build your own business. They actually believe "what difference does it make" meant Hillary was indifferent about the deaths of Americans in Benghazi.
Strange, strange people.
President Obama looks and sounds so ridiculous making his speech in Cuba, especially in the shadows of Brussels. He is being treated badly!
Is it? Just stay down, you embarrassment to Hockey Goons everywhere.

Only difference is, the other Presidents had no other options, as thats where they had to speak or disembark from a vehicle.
Seriously... Obama is on a roof or top of a parking garage..... They could have easily turned to another direction to have the picture taken, or said "I dont think its right to take a picture here", cause you can tell they are all lined up for a photo-op... it isnt like he was giving a speech or greeting a leader somewhere. It was obviously staged and thought out imo.

Prior to his interview with ESPN, Obama had faced calls from Ted Cruz, Donald Trump and John Kasich to leave Cuba and return to the states.
The president did not heed their advice.
He dedicated a brief portion of a planned speech to the attacks and went on about his day.
He met Cuban dissidents at the U.S. Embassy in Havana, then made his way to watch the baseball in casual khaki pants, white shirt, no tie, and sunglasses.
