White House: Obama Will Not Meet Netanyahu
Virtual Jerusalem ^ | January 22, 2015 | Staff

Posted on 01/23/2015 9:20:06 PM PST by lbryce

The White House said Thursday evening that President Barack Obama will not meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu when the Israeli leader visits Washington in early March.

The decision, said the White House, is in line with US policy not to meet foreign leaders on dates that are close to national elections in their countries.

"The president will not be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu because of the proximity to the Israeli election," said National Security Council

spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan?

The date for Prime Minister Netanyahu's address to Congress has been pushed back by a fortnight to March 3, House Speaker John Boehner announced Thursday on his Twitter feed.

As far as the President's rationale for not meeting with Netanyahu is concerned, I have to agree 100% with the president on this.

The president's decision is made in absolute fairness and integrity as it is in line with US policy not to meet foreign leaders on dates that are close to national elections in their countries....

...and, oh, by the way, FUBO and the little row boat you paddled furiously in on into Hawaiian waters from Indoesia

I doubt seriously that Netanyahu would want to meet with Obozo, especially around dinner time.

The Prime Minister knows that a Republican Congress will receive him far more favorably that the Muslim sympathizer in the White House.

It's a damm shame how this administration has treated our allies so badly while welcoming our enemies. In a perfect world this behavior would constitute treason and Obama and his accomplices would be in prison jumpsuits by now.

Depending upon you look at it, it would seem that Bibi lucked out.

What? President Obama declines a meeting with the Leader of the Free world? Seems strange to shirk off a courageous and TRUE (one of the few left) ally of the United States...

My reference was in relation to the episode when Obama made Netanyahu wait while he had dinner with his family.

Any rationale from Hussein O is warped evilthink. Bull puckies. Bibi is still the man in charge UNTIL otherwise noted. It’s not going to throw an election. That’s just classic muzzie hates Jew-think. Kenyan imposter traitor think. As another freeper says when the Kenyan’s antics are discussed: FUBO!!

I think it’s very responsible of the Resident not to meet with Netanyahu so close to the Israeli elections......don’t want to harm his chances of victory.

From article: ""The president will not be meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu because of the proximity to the Israeli election," said National Security Council spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan."

White House: Obama Will Not Meet Netanyahu

Why is that? Did he already have a meeting scheduled with Ru Paul?
