Because Bibi flew 5880 miles into NYC. And Obama is 213 miles away in DC.
1) Obama has flown that before in AF1 for a “date night” and just to buzz Manhattan.
2) If Obama asked, Bibi would certainly make a stop in DC.
3) Bibi REQUESTED to meet with him.
And these are national leaders, in the flashpoint of the Iranian bomb and collapse of Egypt topics, yet, Obama has not the slightest desire to even speak to him.
Last time Bibi was here, IN the White house, Obama left him sitting there to go have dinner with his family. Is there the sightest chance that Obama thinks, “hmm, that was kind of a huge snub,,,i’d better reach out to that ally?”.
There’s no reason to carry Obama’s water here. He is in the wrong. No excuses.
Im not a national leader. I have friends 6000 miles away. If they came here to within 200 miles of me, and ASKED to see me, and i refused without explanation,,,. It’s like that.
Exactly. There's no reason for Bambi to refuse.
But what I really want to know is why people here are defending his refusal to meet with Netanyahu. Particularly since it's at least the second time Bambi's snubbed him.
Yes.
And that 3 a.m. phone call? Can you put it on hold until next Tuesday? I have some critical golfing to do in between my campaign stops.
