The President put his best effort forward, but, I wouldn't say he nailed it.

The Obamas slay, OK? (click here) U.S. President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama attended an official state dinner for Argentine President Mauricio Macri on Wednesday, March 23, and the first couple nailed the country’s national dance, the tango.
During the event held at the Kirchner Cultural Centre in Buenos Aires, guests were treated to a tango showcase. Making the performance all the more special? The fact that POTUS and his wife were invited to participate....

I am sure the dancers in Argentina feel left out of the popular shows in the USA. They are extremely good dancers. I think the dancers are looking for an invitation as a cultural exchange.

President Obama was there for diplomatic purposes. His visit included his daughters and the First Lady. The inclusion of the family set the tone to the visit. President's decision to work through the issues abroad was correct. There was little he could do that Vice President Biden and Secretary Kerry could handle competently. And it was handled competently because the Americans involved have linked with their families and there are searches for those missing.

I think the complaining about the President in Cuba and Argentina is sour grapes. And there are plenty of sour grapes to go around in regard to Cuba. The leadership of Cuba wanted to prove to the people of the USA they are willing and able to conduct opportunities for the people of Cuba. That was important.
