WASHINGTON (AP) — The world's leaders are gathering in New York, but President Barack Obama has no plans to meet privately with any of them.
He will make time for "The View," a freewheeling TV talk show more likely to reach voters than Obama would with the diplomacy he is skipping at the United Nations.
Unlike his predecessors, he is skipping the face-to-face meetings with counterparts where much of the U.N. works gets done, leaving Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton to pick up more of those sessions herself.
Obama's itinerary on Monday and Tuesday is compressed so that he can get back to campaigning in some of the most contested states such as Ohio and Virginia.
Obama is expected to explain, explore and defend U.S. engagement in the world as anti-American rage has run high in many nations, fueled by anti-Muslim film that was made in the United States but unconnected to and denounced by Obama's administration.
More than 40 people, including the U.S. ambassador to Libya, have been killed in violence linked to the protests over the film, raising hard questions about the transitions to democracy in the Middle East and North Africa.
Instead, the secretary of state will see the presidents of Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, Tunisia, Yemen and Myanmar as well as the king of Jordan and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Those meetings will be critical to Obama's foreign policy as Washington deals with the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the fallout from the Arab Spring and a delicate time in U.S.-Israeli relations, as officials in Israel continue to speak of a military strike on Iran.
When he gets to town, Obama will join his wife, Michelle, on the set of ABC's "The View," where his appearance in 2010 drew a television audience of roughly 6.5 million people. The president's final business in New York will be to speak at Bill Clinton's global initiative — just a few hours after Romney does the same.....snip~

Associated Press – 1 hr 24 mins ago<<<<< More here, way more!
Here is more Proof of Obama Leading From behind. Delegating responsibility to someone else. He will give a Speech to the UN> No Side meeting or off the record meetings. It's shoot straight to Ohio and Virginia. This will leave a lot of those World leaders feeling quite uneasy about things. Plus Some may feel snubbed in dealing with Clinton.
So is he still paying respects by makiing these Arab leaders and ME Leaders deal with a Woman? Think this helps with any Arab Allies.....considering their feelings on such a matter?
