Look, if he met with one leader, he would have to meet with 10," and "in this election year, campaigning trumped meetings with world leaders.
She says the reason that he won't meet with any foreign leader is that would give Romney the opportunity to also meet with foreign leaders .Obama wouldn't take the risk of having Romney looking "presidential " by meeting with foreign leaders . Besides ;he'd have to take off his golf shoes. |

People say they know each other so well they finish each other's sentences. The Romney-Netanyahu photo would be two old pals, and would play well with all those Jewish swing voters in Florida.
Contrast that to the last time Netanyahu and Obama met in the Oval Office. Netanyahu lectured Obama and their body language said it all -- they could hardly bare to look at each other. Another photo of those two scowling and wagging fingers will definitely NOT play well with those swing voters in the swing state of Florida. Yes, yes, there are major issues on the international stage right now. But from the Obama campaign's perspective, none of them trump the getting their man reelected. They figure there will be plenty of time to deal with the world's leaders in a second term. |

The tensions between Mr. Obama and the Gulf states, both American and Arab diplomats say, derive from an Obama character trait: he has not built many personal relationships with foreign leaders. “He's not good with personal relationships; that's not what interests him,” said one United States diplomat. “But in the Middle East, those relationships are essential. The lack of them deprives D.C. of the ability to influence leadership decisions.”
A Lack of Chemistry Arab officials echo that sentiment, describing Mr. Obama as a cool, cerebral man who discounts the importance of personal chemistry in politics. “You can't fix these problems by remote control,” said one Arab diplomat with long experience in Washington. “He doesn't have friends who are world leaders. He doesn't believe in patting anybody on the back, nicknames. “You can't accomplish what you want to accomplish” with such an impersonal style, the diplomat said. The article is revealing coming from the Slimes What it says is that Obama ignored “advice from elders on his staff at the State Department and at the Pentagon” in calling for Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to step down. But by the time the Saudis were crushing democracy protests in Bahrain, Obama had changed his mind, and “largely turned a blind eye.”By the time the Tunisian protests broke out in January 2011 — an angry Mr. Obama accused his staff of being caught “flat-footed.” AND About that revolution in Iran that the President ignored ? “Months later, administration officials said, Mr. Obama expressed regret about his muted stance on Iran.”Yup ;where he could've made a significant contribution to the region ,he voted Present. “the stark difference between the outcomes in Cairo and Bahrain illustrates something else, too: his impatience with old-fashioned back-room diplomacy, and his corresponding failure to build close personal relationships with foreign leaders that can, especially in the Middle East, help the White House to influence decisions made abroad.” Step aside Obama... you've failed ! |
