Obama Adviser: 'If He Met With One Leader, He Would Have to Meet With 10.'

The reason why President Obama is not meeting with any foreign leaders during this week's United Nations General Assembly in New York is, as one aide to the president explained, because "If he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10."

The reasoning was explained that way to the New York Times.

"Mr. Obama was scheduled to attend a reception for world leaders at the United Nations on Monday night. But a campaign adviser acknowledged privately that in this election year, campaigning trumped meetings with world leaders. 'Look, if he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10,' the aide said, speaking on the condition of anonymity," the Times reports today.

He’s not meeting with them because he knows he doesn’t have their respect. World leaders, collectively, have dissed him before and it showed, he doesn’t want a repeat performance. There’s a picture floating around somewhere that shows him to be an outsider to the group of “world leaders.”

Israel an insignificant third world county surrounded by arab states who would like to blow it off the map.

Actually, the truth is that if he met with one leader it would have to be Netanyahu, therefore he canceled other meetings because he would not be able to explain why he did not.

My sentiments exactly! Isn't that what presidents do? He's got time for silliness on David Letterman and The View but doesn't have time to meet with Bibi. This man is a disgrace to his office. PLEASE, Obama, go play some more golf and leave us alone. When Israel destroys its enemies and you are made to look the fool you really are, YOU will be the one crawling to Bibi to talk with him.

At least 10 of them have taken, and eaten his lunch. He can’t beg them to stop being mean until after the election or he will look weak. Anyone else seeing the picture?

Yeah, that would be work.
