Or, maybe she didn't want a media spectacle to be made out of it, and will meet with him privately sometime later, out of the glare of media lights.

"out of the glare of media lights..."

Just because the media is there doesn't mean it has to be a circus. President Bush has proven this fact post 9-11. Many times he has visited with our Military man and women during planned visits, sans camera's. She should have taken a clue from her former Cammander-In-Chief.

If this is her excuse it is weak and insulting. IMHO.
