President Obama, First lady tango at Argentine state dinner a day after being lambasted for enjoying a baseball game in Cuba as Brussels hit with terror attacks

It takes four to tango.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama dance tango with dancers during a state dinner in Buenos Aires.

President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama were pulled onto the dance floor at an Argentine state dinner Wednesday night by a pair of saucy tango dancers — a day after the U.S. president was lambasted for enjoying a baseball game in Cuba as Europe was hit with terror attacks.

“No, no,” Obama seemed to say as the long-haired, toned woman in a glitzy gold dress extended her hands and beckoned him to try the traditional Argentine dance.

But the petite dancer eventually got her way, and escorted the President as he clumsily sashayed across the floor.

The dancers invited the Obamas onto the dance floor after performing their own routine.

After a few less than graceful missteps, he eventually caught on to his partner’s lead: By the time the music slowed to a halt, the two were in lockstep, arms high in the air.

Meanwhile, a male tango dancer invited the First Lady onto the floor, too. She looked more natural than her husband, twisting back and forth with her Argentine partner.

Moments before inviting the Obamas onto the floor for a beginners’ tango, the pair of professional dancers had waltzed with each other, performing impressive lifts and powerful kicks for the room filled with dignitaries.

Argentine President Mauricio Macri hosted the candle lit state dinner for the Obamas, marking the first time in nearly 20 years that a U.S. president made a formal state visit to Argentina. Obama said the trip to Buenos Aires “is a new beginning” between the United States and Argentina and a chance to rebuild trust that may have been lost after the country's military coup 40 years ago.

Not everyone was so tickled with the Obamas’ trip to Argentina. Some critics blasted the president for having fun on the planned state trip in the wake of Tuesday’s terror attacks on Brussels.

The Argentina visit came a day after he made a historic stop in Cuba, where he attended a baseball game just hours after 34 people were killed in a trio of bombings on a Belgium airport and a subway station.

Some political experts said the president should return to the U.S. instead of gallivanting on his world tour.

“I think President Obama knows full well that optics matter, but he chose his legacy over optics and it was a shameful, shameful disappointing moment for President Obama,” CNN pundit Ana Navarro said Wednesday of Obama. “I was disappointed. I was not surprised.”

David Gergen, a former adviser for presidents Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, agreed that Obama should have been traveling back home instead of dancing and reveling.

“When you go to a baseball game, it looks a little frivolous,” he said. “When you’re dancing like that — I even think the hard call, he should have thought about coming back and gathering — people are looking for leadership here.”
