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.

"If he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10."
I can understand this. When you have to meet with 10 people it's starting to sound like work and the last thing Obama has any intention of doing is working. Hey, he won.
To: musicman
THAT’S precisely what he’d love to say!
You find the best stuff, musicman!

“If He Met With One Leader, He Would Have to Meet With 10.’
Well...isn’t THAT what a President does?”
The problem is that he couldn’t keep his platitudes and outright lies straight for that many meetings. Also ten excuses for snubbing Israel is harder to make than the current “ I’m too busy.”

If he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10BS. This ass must think Americans are stupid. Whoops, well some have brains.

Did he just say Obama’s never going back to the G-20?
To: Justaham
Campaigning trumped meetings with world leaders.
So much for leadership.Obama adding fuel to the fire of world problems.

As President that is his job to meet and talk with heads of countries and especially when they are in the U.S. He is more concerned about campaigning and hobnobbing with people in the entertainment world. What a shallow person.
