Obama can't find time for world leaders

Mr. Obama, his re-election campaign in full swing, continued to make his pitch to American voters, avoiding for the most part world leaders arriving at the United Nations. The president will address the General Assembly on Tuesday but, breaking with tradition, has no meetings set with his counterparts.

So, no meetings, but time for the View.

That task he delegated to Mrs. Clinton, who churned through the first of dozens of meetings she will have over the next week. They deal with some of the most pressing foreign policy crises the administration has faced since taking office in 2009, like the deadly protests in the Islamic world and the confrontation between Japan and China over a handful of unpopulated islands.

I like his forign policy so I dont care so much about the process and more about the results and the overriding principals. I could care less if he meets with certian officals or not.
 
Obama has a foreign policy??? Or is that what he calls waving the white flag.

It is quite comical reading what Jarod posts. He likes our foreign policy but doesn't care that the President thinks the View is a better use of his time than meeting with foreign leaders. Talk about insulting... 'sorry foreign leaders, but the ladies of the View need my time more than you'

Well in defense if the big eared fairy, were any of the foreign leaders going to slobber over his dick the way Joyless Behar was? I think not

This is why I worry about this country. If Jarod is indicative of te majority of voters in this country then we are truly SCREWED. Turn out the lights. The party is over.

I guess this election will determine how really stupid the electorate is

Obama is a rank politician. He only does what is in his political best interests .. and he doesn't have much affinity for personal relationships with the people he has to work with.

He's the same with our own legislators.

Now I have read that before about Obama, that he doesn't have much affinity for personal relationships with the people he has to work with. I'm not a fan of that. I think anytime you can build relationships with people it makes it easier to do a better job. It is no guarantee of course as Arnold proved in California. He used to smoke cigars with members of the legislature trying to build relationships and he wasn't a very good Governor. On the whole though I believe building relationships is a benefit.

I think it is just like employer, employee relationships, you have to keep them professional because there may come a time when you have to make a difficult decision and being friends may cloud your judgement. I am sure there are those he is close to, I have heard the Bidens, but I wouldn't get chummy with all of them.

I am (and the people who have made these comments are) talking about lawmakers. The President doesn't control their employment the voters do. The President has to be able to work with members of Congress if they want to get their agenda passed. Like in any other walk of life having personal relationships can help.

It was an example, I used the word, like. They can also be very harmful. His job isn't to make friends, it is to govern.

How does one effectively Govern? How does one successfully manage a company? You have to know how to deal with people. Building a relationship doesn't mean you have to become best friends. In the business world a familiar rephrane often heard is people would rather do business with people they know or like.

The President is not a robot. Members of Congress aren't robots. They are all human beings. The ability to work with each other is made far easier by having sometype of relationship with each other.

You can be personable without being personal. I have run a business, and it is the quality of the product and the service that attract people. If you are friendly it is a bonus.

so, Obama's schedule is too busy for world leaders... but he has time for another 'look how cool I am' moment on the View?

Looks like Obama was scheduled to meet the world leaders today, not yesterday.

U.S. President Barack Obama‘s primary audience, when he addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, was not the gathered heads of state. Instead, he tailored his remarks to a domestic electorate unlikely to vote primarily on the basis of foreign policy but unnerved by the recent upsurge of violent anti-American protest in the Muslim world. Obama’s firm tone and willingness to challenge the emerging leaders in the Arab world to rein in extremism in their countries provided some reassurance at home that he’s keeping his eye on the ball. And his eulogy for slain U.S. Ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens, who in Obama’s speech personified the U.S.’s helping hand, framed his remarks in a domestically popular sense of American virtue. U.S. and foreign audiences will have found much to applaud and little to disagree with in the calls for tolerance, mutual respect and the building of bridges between cultures and nations, to which most of the speech was devoted.
