At first, when President Barack Obama was planning his trip to New York to speak at the United Nations General Assembly, he did not have enough time to schedule a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu. After the rioting at the US Embassy in Cairo on September 11th and threatening words from Egyptian President (and Muslim Brotherhood leader) Muhamed Morsi, President Obama found it convenient to cancel with Morsi.
Rather than slight the leader of the Ummah, the "Leader of the Free World" declined to meet with any foreign leaders. Instead, Obama's Mickey Mouse diplomacy was to go on ABC-TV's "The View". Mr. Obama had such a hard hitting interview with his wife on "The View" that he could quip that the President was just "eye candy."
But this was not the first time that the House of Mouse has bent over backwards to help the Celebrity-in-Chief. In January, Mr. Obama wanted to announce a strategy to improve tourism and travel using Disney World's Cinderella's castle as a backdrop. So Disney closed down Main Street for the morning to accommodate the President's 13 minute photo op. 
Serious voters may decide to exile Mr. Obama from Fantasyland on the Potomac come January 20th, 2013.
