White House pressed on why Obama UN itinerary doesn't include meetings with world leaders

Asked repeatedly at the briefing about the president's plans, Carney said that Obama likely would run into foreign leaders at a reception Monday evening and continues to stay in contact with them.

So, he 'might' run into world leaders one on one at a reception, so why bother meeting one one one too, right?

But Carney did not appear to give a direct answer when asked why Obama was able to fit in 13 one-on-one meetings on the sidelines of last year's summit and none this year. Obama instead was letting Secretary of State Hillary Clinton handle the meetings this year while he and first lady Michelle Obama were sitting down Monday for a taping of ABC's "The View" -- sparking criticism that he was putting the election campaign above such issues as Iran's quest for nuclear capability and the violent, deadly protests in the Middle East and North Africa.

Well, that explains it. Getting a segment on The View, instead of doing the business of the country... it's obvious which is more important... right?

So, Obama is too busy to meet with world leaders when we are all facing economic crises, and WE are facing a Middle East Crisis and one in Northern Africa , BUT HE FINDS TIME FOR A TAPING OF "THE VIEW"!!!

GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT MR. PRESIDENT!!!!

 

[Jackson]

if the president has such an itching desire to hobnob with tv

personalities, let's give him all the time he wants....starting Jan. 20, 2013.

We can relieve him of the nuisance of the the job of the presidency.​

You'd rather Obama meet Barbara Walters than a foreign leader?

Probably because they can't give accurate yardages and read putts.

The election is less then 6 weeks away, perhaps they ( being obama and other world leaders) both felt meeting when he really can't give them any assurances past 6 weeks from now, is useless.

Boiking is the fuckin' president right now.

Why does he have more time to show up on Letterman and The View than he does to meet with other world leaders?

Yep...being an attention whore is more important then meeting with our allies (the ones he hasn't offended yet).
