another white boy who got a PASS!!! Flashback: Reagan Stayed On Vacation When Soviets Killed 62 Americans, Including Congressman Conservatives will use any excuse at all to try to bash President Obama – even if there’s a long precedent of their favorite Republican presidents making the exact same choices. Most recently, Republicans slammed President Obama for remaining at a baseball game in Cuba on a state trip while the terrorist attacks in Brussels were underway. For example, NBC correspondent Tom Brokaw complained that “the symbolism is that the president stayed at the baseball game all day long where you would have thought he would have said, ‘Look, we’ve got more business that I have to deal with, I wish you well,’ get on the phone.” For his part, the president responded saying that if we drop everything to respond to every attack, then the terrorists have achieved their goal of reaction and disruption: “It’s always a challenge when you have a terrorist attack anywhere in the world, particularly in this age of 24/7 news coverage. You want to be respectful and understand the gravity of the situation, but the whole premise of terrorism is to try to disrupt people’s ordinary lives.” But as usual, Republican critics are ignoring the long list of precedence of GOP Presidents not responding instantly to every tragedy – with some even finishing out their vacations. President Ronald Reagan, the darling of conservatives, remained at his ranch while Hurricane Alicia pounded the state of Texas, killing 21. __________________
