So, just because Obama opts out of meetings with foreign leaders during U.N. Week (a/k/a Hell Week in Manhattan), that means Romney must forgo such meetings? I call B.S. on that theory.

Were I Romney, I’d absolutely seek to schedule such meetings, particularly right now as faith in Obama’s obliviously incompetent foreign policy is swirling the porcelain throne’s bowl both domestically and internationally.

I suspect it’s done out of courtesy, not wanting to give off the appearance of meddling.

Imagine if Romney did what Lib Ad suggests….Obama and his media crew are already saying Romney would be starting wars!! They would be having hissy fits and conniptions!! How dare he invade presidential territory, they would all declare. He’s just a wannabe, others would protest.

It’s the idea that Obama is the ONLY ONE who is ALLOWED to “look” presidential. It’s all about the superficial and appearances count!

Those who will vote for Obama a second time are all about appearances…they don’t follow the substance and are not aware of half of the damage he has done to this country.

To heck with that! How many “standard conventions” has BHO dismissed without a thought? How many “must attend” events have been missed?

I think Romney needs to seek out the meetings! If he says “to heck with BHO”, I’m getting the feeling that the World Leaders will say the same.
It’s really not as if the World Leaders have any love for BHO. It’s my understanding that they all look down on him..

…mission accomplished. BHO has made the USA unimportant.

Obhammud is skittish about Romney because he has laid the circumstances out where Obhammud had to come clean about the embassy attack being a terrorist act. Romney popped that balloon in a speech in Ohio by asking exactly that; why won’t he admit what it was? The polls are a fraud and anyone with half a brain knows it. Answer this question,”If the race is already decided why is Obhammud still campaigning?”

Actually, this fits right in with Obama’s narcissism. His goal is to keep Romney totally uninformed about any top level security concerns.

It has been customary for many years for the White House to provide intelligence briefings for both party’s nominees, regardless of administration. In 2008, the Bush White House provided them to both McCain and Obama, and to Kerry in 2004. Likewise, in 2000 the Clinton administration made sure that both Bush and Gore got them. The reason is obvious: whichever candidate becomes president will have a thorough background on all the major issues well before taking office.

But not this year.

As reported in the LA Times, of all places, Obama is not providing them to Romney. Obama’s not the least bit concerned with national security, especially if he loses. If Obama can paint Romney as uninformed about security issues – owing mainly to Obama’s childish and unpatriotic selfishness – he can use that as a campaign tactic.

@ST:

Correct. Romney isn’t going to go over the head of the sitting president, or try to pretend he’s something he’s not. Obama did that sort of self-aggrandizement when he was running in 2008 (remember the knock-off presidential seal that Obama had affixed to podiums during the campaign?) – another textbook sign of NPD.

On the other hand….

In talking about passing up meetings with world leaders, you have to consider how much else Obama has on his plate right now. There are fundraisers galore. There are parties with Beyonce and Jay-Z, and broadcasts with the “Pimp with a Limp”. Hell, there’s a GOLF handicap that badly needs work!!! Where are your PRIORITIES, ST????

As if “appearances” count to any jackass when it comes to foreign policy! Heck, Duh-1 picked Slo Joe as his running mate because Slo joe was supposed to be a foreign policy HEAVYWEIGHT, fer cryin’ out loud!

Wonder what they’d call someone who actually knew something about foreign policy and relations?

Add onto all that the jackasses who’ve actually gone to foreign countries before elections and meddled in sensitive relations (Kerry comes immediately to mind, but there have been others). But I suppose that’s OK with libs because they had provable “gravitas” simply because they had a “D” behind their names.

Just another case of Republicans afraid to do what most jackasses do as a matter of course because they’re afraid of exactly what is suggested, that they’d be accused of “meddling.”

Catch-22 for anyone other than Obama I suppose!

The guy already has his Nobel Peace Prize so why should he worry about his rep?

“The guy already has his Nobel Peace Prize so why should he worry about his rep?”

Speaking of which, the members of that “prize committee” must be more than a bit humiliated by their absurd selection of Obama, in light of his chest thumping drone assassinations. Then again, they gave it to Arafat and serial grad school dropout Al Bore so, maybe not.

Obhammud couldn’t be bothered with such mundane activities as meeting with other nations’ leaders and trying to solve real problems.

He had an appointment to be “eye candy” for a bunch of blathering sows.
