As a conservative Dem, these are the kinds of things that absolutely drive me bonkers about Obama. In the midst of one of the biggest foreign-policy nightmares in recent years, our president decides his time is better spent with the harpies of "The View" than attempting to iron out the extremely troublesome issues that contributed to the death of Americans overseas. What a shame. Of course, with the Bumbling and Stumbling Mitt on the other side of the ticket, I'm sure Obama will have no need to second-guess this stupid and reckless decision.
This is why we have representatives at the U.N. The President does not have to do everything himself. He sets up a good team and lets them do their jobs.
In the long term the US would be MUCH better off if we elected our president to ONE six year term so he/she wouldn't have to spend most of the first term running for re-election. Most presidents accomplish FAR more in their second term than in their first.
I guess from the right wing misinformed people on here that now the right is all for the U.N? Last week you all wanted to have nothing to do with the U.N. I guess your hipocracy has no limits.
Seriously, doesn't everyone know that BHO does not need to have meetings. He can just call everyone up with his iPad and get all the information that he needs.. He doesn't even need to attend daily briefings.. he just goes to Google and gets his updates and current events.. and if he needs to know what to say.. he just let's good ol Valerie Jarrett, or George Soros to stick her,his hand up his ass and make his mouth move while he reads the teleprompter..He is the anointed one.... and he does not need meetings, because as BHO believes.... "I'm better than you".....
But you are right, he thinks so much of himself he has no need to speak face to face.... But actually i believe its more cynical , he is the campaigner in chief, its his basic job. Not one of being an actual leader of the United States, the President. He has lowered the office so much its just sickening.
The Middle East is burning, we just had a terrorist attack on our Embassy in Libya. Yet Obama is MIA.
This guy is hopeless, and I am praying that Romney takes it . As I would vote for anyone but Obama after how far down one President has taken our country! But dont get me wrong, Romney will turn us around if given the chance and elected.
Just a couple items from Obama's record:
First time we have lost our triple A credit rating. He said he would cut the debt in half in his first term. Instead he has spent in under 4 years over 6 TRILLION Dollars, (which I dont know if most people understand how bad this is for us- we are hitting critical mass soon! very soon)
Record high unemployment since the great depression, (still blames every one else)
Not one Budget passed in 3 years, he didnt even get a single vote from even the Democrats on his last budget.
Food Stamp enrollment, has doubled up to 47 MILLION!! (as he stated "getting more people on government assistance to create a Major Coalition for their side!) How sick is this? Have more people in poverty, so more people need assistance, and then they create a major coalition to keep voting for those who loosen the requirements for Welfare and Food stamps.
He rules by Executive Order on anything he cannot get passed.
Legalizes illegals by the stroke of a Pen. Now they are writing an order in Janet Napaletano's dept, giving Obama sweeping authority to SHUT DOWN THE INTERNET, since he couldn't get the bill for this passed.
But one of the most important jobs of the President, as leader of the Free World one of his most important jobs is to meet with World Leaders and work for our safety and also the benefit of all. But simply refusing to meet with World Leaders because its more important to keep campaigning is disgusting.
In the last 20 years a president has not done this, completely snubbed all world leaders during the UN meetings.
Romney is sharpening his sword and getting ready to start another war and he isn't even in the White House yet. Where will he get the funds if he gives the 1%ers the tax breaks they demand for their campaign dollars? He reminds me of the "little kid" who stands behind the bully egging the bully on to fight.
Those whining about the president not meeting with Netanyahu must not value democracy. You want other world leaders influencing our elections? If you were president and you knew Netanyahu prefers Romney, why would you meet with him right now?
