The White House has brushed aside an offer by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to meet with President Obama later this month, Israeli officials told Fox News. The apparent snub came despite a state of heightened alert over Irans nuclear program and the possibility of Israeli action.
Sources said Netanyahu, though he plans to be in New York City during his brief stay, was offering to travel to D.C. to make the meeting happen. However, the White House apparently said Obamas tight schedule the president is in the middle of a feverish campaign schedule -- would make a meeting difficult.
The turn-down comes amid increasing international anxiety about Irans nuclear program. The U.N. reportedly has found new intelligence showing Iran is moving toward nuclear weapon capability.
But the exchange between the White House and the prime ministers office is the most recent in what is seen as a cool, if not strained, relationship between Obama and Netanyahu, despite Israel being considered one of the United States closest allies.
One well-placed Jewish-American leader told Fox News that the White House has not yet fully ruled out moving things around on the schedule in order to accommodate Netanyahu but that as of now, Obama is scheduled to be on the campaign trail during the window of time when Netanyahu can make it to Washington.
excerpt
Newt was at the convention. He gave a Reagan tribute speech with his wife. It was pretty good.
I'm convinced it's just that more and more sheeple are gradually being won over by the politics of envy. For generations, leftist Dems have been stroking the masses' innermost, primal covetous urges and splitting the country into a minority of taxpaying "haves" and a majority of beneficiary "have nots", promising the latter that they'll bring justice while serving up the Socialist/Communist/Marxist Kool-Aid.
Case in point, over the weekend I heard Some DNC Delegates Favor Ban on Corporate Profit. Just what the **** are kids learning in school these days, if not the goodness of capitalism???
When the statist leftist Dems succeed in bringing enough of us into their entitlement way of thinking, it's over. We're through. The grand experiment will come to an end.
If the Kenyan Marxist wins in November, that end date moves a lot closer. And as far as I'm concerned, a nation of godless, shameless takers deserves whatever perils might be coming her way.
Think about it, Israel is the SAFEST PLACE ON EARTH. With what’s coming to the world, yes, I wouldn’t mind being there when the $hit hits the fan. There’s going to be trouble everywhere, but good luck to the ones who think Israel is in danger of being annihilated . . . and that means the USA as well.
Now I remember, I apologize, brain fart moment..he gave the speech along with his wife Calista, thanks for reminding me I had forgotten all about it
“The effect is the same.”
No argument from me.
I am somewhat suprised that people think secular/ethnically Jewish people should care about Israel.
I mean, do people worry about Irish Americans’s votes because of positions regarding Northern Ireland (or whatever)? No. It’s just a non-issue.
Now, as a theological matter I do feel all Jews, secular or not, are connected to Israel, whether they want to be or not. Perhaps that connection is what people (even gentile people, or perhaps especially gentile people) feel -— every knows, in their heart that Jewish people should care about Israel.
Who knows. It’s approaching the high holidays.
Weird things happen this time every year.
I hope Bibi gets out there and tells the media on live camera so they can;t cover for their messiah that obama did not want to meet with him and was not interested in Israel's security

Yep. I will too.
I find it hard to agree anymore. I wish I could, man I really do.
I know that there are some good people left here, no doubt about it.
Let me put it to you this way.
If Ohio goes Obama, evil wins.
If Florida goes Obama, evil wins.
If Texas goes Obama, fat chance I know but still, evil wins.
That is how close we are to the end. That is how far our backs are against the wall.
That is how outnumbered we are.
And that is just the people. When you include the government is the calculation of what is wrong in this country, we are so far from good it boggles my mind.
New Zealand seem like a lovely place, no doubt, and I have thought of there as well.
But this isn’t about trying to find a nice place to live.
We can’t hide forever, our enemies will find us.
This is about fighting with the good guys against the worst mankind has to offer.
And if it means dying with them, then that’s what it means.
Anyway we were talking over e-mail in 2008 and I said I would not vote for obama etc.
SHe told me and this is her exact words
“Obama will be a better friend to Israel than McCain”
I told her that the huff post etc is bias and that she is not being told the trth about obama and his past .
Her words again
“You're acting like a NAZI, they said the media was biased and you are saying it, you know nothing , you're a NAZI”
Yea I;m a NAZI, I dated her, had fights protecting her, some NAZI I am ARF.
I've not talked to her since but I'm betting that she still has not changed her mind over obama, sad part is that when I dated her she was alright, never into politics but the guy she married is a die hard Dem , even that much so that he moved out ot Chappaqua near the Clintons.
I voted for Obama in Maryland! |
I voted for Obama in Florida! |
I voted for Obama in the other 55 states! |
he went on the radio with who?
The pansy girlie boy is an embarrassment to this country and the media still supports this idiot.

The White House declined Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Tuesday to meet U.S. President Barack Obama during a UN conference in New York at the end of the month.
An official in Jerusalem said that the prime ministers office sent the White House a message stating that although Netanyahu will spend only two and a half days on U.S. soil, he is interested in meeting Obama and is willing to travel to the U.S. capital specifically for that purpose. The official added that the White House rejected the request and said that at this time Obamas schedule does not allow for a meeting
They are tough as nails, no doubt.
I want to be with people who know what freeodm is.
I want to be with people who know what evil exists in almost all of this world.
I want to be with people who aren’t stupid enough to vote away their own freedom.
I want to be as far away from the morons of America as I can possibly get, I have grown to hate them.
And just as an aside, I do not want to be a member of the same species as or living on the same planet as Niki Manure or anyone like her. I really have had enough of this crap.
So....right after we give EGYPT a BILLION dollars gratis from Hillary and the Bamster, our embassy is attacked and our flag is ripped down. What a way to say THANKS fu! Im furious!
Hell the media are so much covering for him that they now skew the polls so much that even their polls are way out there
“Im betting the contact has already been made and a meeting already set up. Why announce it?”
The point is to make it a public spectacle and put egg all over Obama’s face publicly. I don’t care what Zero thinks. I just want to gain politically from it.
Does Bibi play golf? Drink beer? Eat ice cream?
maybe they could make it a social event.. and not call it a summit.
“Weird things happen this time every year.”
Like maybe a stock market collapse? October is coming up...
