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.

The petulant child cannot have it his way. The issue has nothing to do within the election is Israel, It has everything thing to do with Odumbass’ negotiations with Iran. The focus will be on Netanyahu and not on the preschooler pResident. The guy needs to have his tricycle training wheel removed, and take the damn pacifier out of his mouth. Obama become a Man, but that is impossible for a piece of bovine excrement.
Good. Obama is beneath him anyway.
Exactly right.....He's desperate for a win and knows Kerry's not going to get one for him from the Palestinians for a peace Agreement.... He's lost Yemen after claiming otherwise,....ISIS isn't going away any time soon, and now Saudi’s leadership change he hasn't a clue what to do...so like the fool he is he goes for something, anything, with Cuba as backup in case Iran deals fail....
This man will not do anything which risks he must take responsibility for!!!
Nothing says Obama like Zer0!
Zer0 would not dare violate U.S. policy not to meet foreign leaders on dates that are close to national elections. However he will violate the U.S. Constitution.
President Irrelevant?
Oh my, what a relief for Bibi.
Who cares? What’s there to meet? An empty chair?
Good news for Bibi!!
Pubbies ought to ignore obammy and pursue their own foreign policies and essentially say F.U, to obammy and his mooselimb bull
Dollars to donuts that Bibi wouldn’t agree to talk to Obama, and this is just another lie to try to save face.
Love, O2

Bibi will do well not to meed Zero, Look at what happened last election when the Bummer campaigned for members of his own party.
So the trip is looking better and better for Netanyahu! He gets to come to America, speak with friends, and NOT have to subject himself to the enemy in the White House. Bonus!
I think the WH is definitely afraid of what he will say. On the other hand anything he says about Obama’s policy towards Iran is going to make Obama look bad. Let’s see, statesman, good communicator and gutsy vs a pc community organizer. Would love to see a claymation fight with those two in the ring. LOL
