Obama chooses The View over meeting world leaders

Chuck Todd, Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper all agree.  Why would President Barack Obama not schedule meetings with world leaders on the first day of the United Nations meetings in New York, choosing instead to appear with his wife on The View?

I understand why Michelle would go, but with all that's going on in the world, why doesn't Obama himself put forth more of an effort to build one-on-one relationships with leaders of other countries?  in the linked clip, Jon Meacham goes into more detail with Joe Scarborough about how Obama doesn't try to build relationships with foreign leaders or Republicans or even Democratic leaders.

You can say Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have done everything they can to block Obama, but you know, George W. Bush still found a way to get things done with Nancy Pelosi and Dick Gephardt and Tom Daschle, and Bill Clinton found his way around Bob Dole and Trent Lott and Newt Gingrich and Dennis Hastert.  George H.W. Bush was one of the best at building relationships with foreign leaders.

Meanwhile, Obama's best line in his UN speech:

"A politics based only on anger – one based on dividing the world between us and them – not only sets back international cooperation, it ultimately undermines those who tolerate it. All of us have an interest in standing up to these forces. Let us remember that Muslims have suffered the most at the hands of extremism. On the same day our civilians were killed in Benghazi, a Turkish police officer was murdered in Istanbul only days before his wedding; more than ten Yemenis were killed in a car bomb in Sana’a; and several Afghan children were mourned by their parents just days after they were killed by a suicide bomber in Kabul."

His worst line:

"The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam."
