\"What
What a better way to show ISIS they will not change our lives that by keeping calm and carrying on enjoying the tango and baseball?
Its understandable how Barack Obama was criticized for it as it can appear in bad taste in the wake of the Belgium attacks, but we must think o the bigger picture!
Keep calm and Tango On!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When the world with worry is gone crazy
\nAnd its understandable to be so
\nThat its OK and again will be
\nAs a leader its important to show.<\/p>\n

Nothing can annoy your enemies more
\nWho seek to undermine you all the while
\nThat you can take the blows and it shows
\nBy the calmness of your smile.<\/p>\n

Its no disrespect to the victims
\nFrom a nation who suffered so much before
\nBut a stiff upper lip and celebrate our freedoms
\nAs we endure hard times and attack once more.<\/p>\n

So keep calm and keep dancing the Tango
\nWe wont change our freedoms or our ways
\nWe endured worse at the hands of stronger tyrants and won
\nWe will dance till the end of our days!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
